I would define my interior decorating (and really overall) style as juxtaposed: modern yet kitschy and definitely colourful. In the same way that I design jewellery and choose my outfits, I tend to gravitate towards mixed and layered colours and textures. I love things that are visually stimulating whereby you almost have to look twice in order to see the whole picture. Consequently I am almost obsessively drawn to gallery-style walls; the more space they cover and the more random the culmination of pieces the better.
Looking back, my first exposure to gallery-style walls (long before the world of Pinterest) was my Grandparents' home in Arizona. Between my Grandmother being a "professional-thrifter", painting as a hobby and their frequent travels around the globe, they had built an enviable collection of wall decor. From a randomly cohesive collection of art to vintage mirrors to photographs of grandchildren, frames took up every available wall space from floor to ceiling. The pieces were seemingly hung with organized haphazardness and emitted an unintentional sort-of charm - I was immediately inspired and have incorporated some sort of gallery-ness into my home decor ever since.
For further inspiration, here are some gallery walls that I would be totally content to just copy and paste into my own home:
