Design To Know: 8 Maximalist Rooms That Will Make You Frown At Minimalist

Maximalist decor doesn’t mean to go crazy without any reference and harmony.  On the contrary, a well-appointed more is more design requires strict planning and focus.  This is the Maximalist decor we’ll be covering here, an over the top design style that harmoniously and cohesively morphs into sumptuous, lavishly extraordinary homes that feel nothing if not authentic.  Maximalist design has three main design bases, lots of colors, patterns, and comfort byways of a lot.

When it comes to Maximalist interiors, the more, the better.  More patterns, more texture, and objects are a must.  Most of these objects are often collected from travels, and if not it’s important to make them feel like it.  If there is a design style that gives us the ways to have a happy home, that would be a more is more decor, since it’s a way for homeowners to bring inside what they genuinely love.  Imagine a home where you cohabitate with your favorite books, comfortable, decorative pillows, collected objects that bring to mind favorite memories, and arts all while displaying them in a way that feels natural and innate.
