If you're someone who loves bold, colourful and playful design, then maximalist interior design might just be the perfect fit for you. This style is all about embracing excess and creating an eclectic, layered space that is full of personality and character. 

What is Maximalist Interior Design?

Maximalist interior design is a style that embraces the more-is-more philosophy. It's a bold and playful approach to design that incorporates a mix of colours, patterns, and textures to create an eclectic and visually stimulating space. In a maximalist interior, every surface is an opportunity to showcase something interesting, whether it's a vibrant piece of art or a unique piece of furniture.

History of Maximalist Interior Design

Maximalist interior design has a long history, dating back to the Victorian era. During this time, opulence and excess were celebrated in interior design, with ornate furnishings, heavy drapes, and rich fabrics all being used to create lavish and extravagant spaces. Much of the maximalist design style we know today has its roots in the 1960s and 1970s, a time when a more-is-more attitude was prevalent in both fashion and interior design. Maximalism was seen as a rebellion against the more minimalist design styles of the time, and it embraced a bold and playful approach to design that incorporated a mix of colors, patterns, and textures to create an eclectic and visually stimulating space.

Defining Elements and Characteristics of Maximalist Interior Design

Maximalist interior design is all about creating an eclectic and visually stimulating space. Here are some defining elements and characteristics of this bold and playful style:

Vibrant colours. Maximalist interiors often feature a mix of bold and vibrant colours. Think bright pinks, rich blues, and deep purples.
Bold patterns. Maximalist interiors are known for their bold and playful patterns. From geometric prints to floral designs, the key is to mix and match patterns to create a visually stimulating space.
Textured finishes. Maximalist interiors incorporate a mix of textures, from plush fabrics to shiny metallics. This creates a tactile and inviting space.
Eclectic decor. Maximalist interiors embrace an eclectic mix of decor, from vintage pieces to modern designs. The key is to create a cohesive space by balancing different styles and textures.
Layered design. Maximalist interiors are all about layering, whether it's with textiles, furniture, or accessories. This creates a visually rich and interesting space.
