Maximalism, with its bold rebellion against the spartan minimalism trend, is marking its territory in many households, especially in the kitchen. This design approach celebrates extravagance, opulence, a mix of patterns, colors, and textures, transforming your kitchen into a vibrant space brimming with personality. In this blog post, local kitchen renovation specialist DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park explains how you can revamp your kitchen into a maximalist masterpiece without compromising on chic and functionality.
Choose Bold Backsplash Tiles
A maximalist kitchen thrives on boldness and creativity. Opting for colorful and patterned backsplash tiles can act as a vibrant focal point, adding layers of visual interest without overwhelming the space. Interior designers recommend Moroccan tiles, geometric patterns, or colorful mosaics to inject a maximalist vibe that still ties in with the overall color scheme of the kitchen.
Embrace Open Shelving
Maximalism shuns the perfectly arranged for an eclectic ensemble that tells a story. Open shelving in your kitchen invites this by allowing you to display an array of decorative dishes, glassware, and kitchen accessories, contributing depth and character. This design choice not only aids practicality but also serves as a canvas to display your most cherished kitchenware collections, contributing to the maximalist ethos.
Mix and Match With Confidence
The essence of maximalism lies in its name—more is more. This principle applies perfectly to selecting furniture and decor. By incorporating a mix of styles, materials, and colors into your kitchen remodel plans, you create a richly layered and dynamic kitchen space. From modern elements juxtaposed with vintage furniture to unique finds that add a touch of nostalgia, the key is in the blend.
Bold Colors and Dynamic Patterns
Stepping into a maximalist kitchen should feel like a jubilee of colors and patterns. While minimalism leans towards subdued neutrals, maximalism bursts forth with a spectrum of colors and patterns. Whether through flamboyantly painted kitchen cabinets or a statement piece of art, color is a transformative tool that propels your kitchen from mere functionality to a lively hub of the home.
Decorate With Artwork and Botanicals
Art isn’t just for the living room or galleries. Your kitchen walls, too, yearn for adornment. Hanging vibrant artwork adds an element of intrigue and personal flair. Moreover, integrating botanical elements can soften the maximalist aesthetic with a touch of nature, marrying the outlandish with the organic.
