With all the emphasis on minimalism in recent years, it was next that another trend would soon come to the fore. Maximalism.
The maximalist style was a reaction to the minimalist movement and has aspects and elements that are practically the opposite of the minimalist trends.
White walls or minimalistly decorated walls and quiet color palettes are prohibitive elements for maximalism. In terms of decoration, the more extravagant and colorful the better.
Think of anything from colorful decorations, collections and special furniture that you may have acquired over time, often in a wide range of colors, textures and styles. Instead of displaying one or two of these aspects, this style takes them and uses them all.
Minimalism is the tendency to get rid of unnecessary items and use only the things you need. On the other hand, maximalism has more to do with exaggeration, colors, shapes, tones and textures to create a “too full” space.
What are the key elements of maximalism?
These exquisite maximalist interiors that you may have seen on Pinterest or Instagram can scare you. It is necessary to remember that when you highlight your style at home, everything is about you and your unique taste.
“Maximalism is, in a way, much more personal than minimalism. “People are not just one thing; they are intricate – and intricate and multifaceted – and the maximalist décor expresses that,” says Nicole Alexander, chief interior designer behind Siren Betty Design.
This style allows your personality and experiences to shine much more easily than in a minimalist space. When it comes to defining a maximal space, here are some key features:
- Layering
- Repeating patterns in prints such as floral, abstract and animal prints
- Rich, bold colors
- Unique statement pieces
- Mixing and matching textures and colors
- Many objects such as books, statues, works of art, etc.
- Combination of styles – often, but not limited to classic, eclectic and boho
Nicole Alexander says that the combination of rugs, wallpaper, paintings and photos can be a great start to creating a maximalist room.
“Add furniture in different patterns and colors. Every detail should share the story of your home or the people who live in the area. ”
How to integrate the maximalist style in your home
The best way to handle the trend is to start slowly. Adding color, placing patterns and pieces of different decoration styles is a good start.
The maximalist style can look messy, so try to avoid too many accessories, at least in the beginning.
Interior designer Anne Hepfer advises:
“I suggest you start with books. Then select a favorite item to place on top of the stack of books. The idea is to add a few pieces at a time. “
