What Are Key Elements Of Maximalism?

The main features of this style are layering, repetitive patterns in prints such as florals, abstract, and animal prints, rich, bold colors, unique statement pieces, mixing and matching of textures and colors, multiples of items like books, statues, artworks etc., blending of styles—oftentimes but not limited to classic, eclectic, and boho. You still have to be careful mixing it all up – some distinct logics should be present, for example, a color scheme, the same pattern but done in different colors and scales and so on.

How to Incorporate Maximalist Style in Your Home?

Go for colorful walls or at least an accent wall to make your space bolder. Add furniture in different patterns and colors—each layer should share the story of your home or the people who occupy the space. Combining rugs, wallpapers, paintings, and photos can be a great start for curating a maximalist room. Keep in mind maximalist can look cluttered, so try to avoid over-accessorizing or using too much of everything – maximalism doesn’t mean tasteless. Get inspired!
