Ryan’s 650 Sq Ft Maximalist Brooklyn Apartment | House Tours

Ryan Cox freely admits that there might be something in his small Brooklyn rental apartment that makes you cringe. "I like to mix things that are beautiful and unruly, like my mom’s rose paintings and my uncle's male nude sketches. . . . All these combined, I like to think of it as a gay man’s Modern Victorian Apothecary," he writes below.

'A little grandma; a lot grandpa' should be a recognized style category.

Yay! Dust on his coffee table. A realistic apartment. And I love maximalism. Thank you. Really enjoyed this.

[Rmartinezvqz]

I instantly love this guy’s personality.

Hold up!!
Did he really gut a kitchen and install a washing machine in a rental???
That’s some badass behavior and I love it 😂

What he said about putting the Christmas card in an antique book then finding it yrs later & it brings a tear to your eyes so true! Love the curiosity cabinet, love his entire apartment & his personality!

It's the "worlds best Ryan" mug for me.. 😂😂😂 who am I kidding its Ryan for me.

[jdchy]

u can tell the apartment design really reflects his personality - eclectic, quirky, amusing & overall just super interesting ✨😌

Except for seeing him wear sneakers on his bed (eeek!), this apartment tour is fabulous. With all the cookie-cutter apartment tours on YouTube (“here’s my tall Ikea mirror, here’s my neutral rug from Target”), it’s refreshing to see something original and unique.

I love the personal style and energy of this apartment and its owner!

[Lucysabine]

I love the validation of things in this. I too love being able to go into a space and there being layers of the things to look at. I love art overload and little details, and want people to have an “experience” in the spaces they’re in. You’re definitely going to remember the experience of going into this guy’s space!

[GradKat]

This apartment is completely individual and totally gorgeous. I love it!!

Apartment Therapy finds the most amazing people! Love Ryan and love his home!😍

I feel like he could be in a NYC-set his lesbian bestie and neighbors across the hall too...😅

[likhi]

Maximalism is not for me but I absolutely love this attitude towards home decor❤️

[kristieprice]

Your home is magical! It is filled with treasures and warmth. I envy your collection of art work.

[rosemarywilliams]

Just know there are people out there who pay money to hear the advice he just gave for free about creating a space. 🖤👏👏👏

[MK-hhvo]

Great tour and decor, makes me want to go to the website to view more of it. But can't unsee that he put his shoes on the bed pillows 🤔 To each his own...

[cynthiavickers]

Ryan, you're delightful! Love your apt., love your style, love your advice, love your energy. Thanks for sharing!

[TheMichelex]

😍😍😍😍😍. I would love to tour this space in person. So much to look at. What a cool inviting place.

[misterscruffle]

I love his style. I actually met him when I lived in nyc! I did something similar with my own apartment with a huge gallery wall and some antique and curiosities.
