A Guide to Maximalist Interiors

Start with colour

Your wall colour should be the foundation of your maximalist inspired home. Avoid using earth tones and shades of greys and beige. Instead, opt for a rich toned colour in your favourite shade of blues, yellows, greens etc. Adding a wallpaper to one or more wall will give your room more depth and contrast.

Where did Maximalism come from?

Maximalism can be traced back to the Victorian era, who had been known to decorate homes as richly as possible along with collecting a huge range of opulent furniture and homewares.

Showcase your heirlooms

Say goodbye to clean lines and having your possessions hidden away. A fantastic option can be displaying all of your heirlooms, collections and homewares. Don’t be afraid to mix classic vintage pieces with bright and modern homewares.

Create a gallery wall

Add a gallery wall, or some large floor to ceiling paintings. This gives your space more dimension. Mixing different styles of artwork and frames can be a great way to keep your wall space interesting.

Statement furniture

Including some bright, interesting statement pieces of furniture will complete the look. This can include a bright sofa, a reclaimed or repurposed coffee table, or even a wildly painted fireplace. Checking local charity shops or vintage stores can be a great way to obtain a one of a kind statement piece.
