Begin Bold
Maximalism, although wild in appearance, is a carefully considered method. To truly maximize its appeal, design through layers—starting with your walls and floors. Wrangle a wild area rug into submission, find a fun patterned wallpaper, or plaster your walls with a color you love! This bold base layer will give you a foundation on which to grow, enabling your beautifully unique style to blossom.
Pro-Tip: If you’re opting for hard flooring instead of soft, try parquet patterned tile! It’s an old-world design that pairs beautifully with new-age décor—especially the bright and bold variety.

Accentuate The Eccentric
Now that the base is set, work your way up! Add a second layer of intrigue with eccentric art installations, quirky furniture and eclectic light fixtures. Mix and match different patterns, colors and textures to create a natural tension—but don’t select them at random. When choosing colors, try to keep them monochromatic, complementary, or analogous. And the same goes for patterns and materials—keep them in the same family, and you’ll have yourself a funky space that flows.
Pro-Tip: If you love the idea of maximalism but want to start small, try experimenting with some smaller accents, like colorful art frames, funky lamps, or bold blankets. A few small pops of personality will fill even the largest space with style.

Manage The Madness
Cultivating a maximalist interior can be a wild ride. There’s a thin line between dazzling and disorderly, especially when it comes to the kitchen. To keep your cookery from falling into complete chaos, imbue it with a sense of symmetry. Keep all of those kitchen cabinets the same bold color, stick to one style of knobs and pulls, and continue to keep those stunning countertops clear. It’ll leave your kitchen looking cute and quirky without feeling chaotic.
Pro-Tip: Art, decorative dishware, and other funky knick-knacks can add to the overall style of your space, but you’ve got to keep the clutter in check—built-in shelving will keep your décor organized and on-display while giving you some much appreciated square footage.
