White walls, subdued color schemes and sparsely decorated interiors typically comprise the minimalist style. But as with all trends, minimalism doesn’t work for everyone. For some homeowners, paring down an interior to only the essentials simply doesn’t leave enough room to show off their personality.
If you feel that minimalism doesn’t suit you, maximalism might just be a better fit. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno, one of the top interior remodeling contractors in the area, discusses the maximalist style and shares tips on how you can incorporate it into your home.
What Is Maximalism?
Simply put, maximalism is all about going over-the-top and creating harmony with a variety of colors, textures, shapes and patterns. It’s the polar opposite of minimalism, which promotes getting rid of excess. These are elements that commonly show up in a maximalist design:
- Layering
- Repetitive patterns in prints
- Bold palettes
- A combination of various textures & colors
- One-of-a-kind statement pieces
Maximalist Design Ideas
To help you get started with your maximalist-style home, here are some design tips that you can try:
- Create striking contrasts. Pair a brick wall with sleek oak herringbone flooring or use mismatched seating for an eclectic vibe.
- Dress up your walls with bold wallpaper or put up a treasured collection of photos on the wall.
- Add drama to your interior by opting for a wallpapered ceiling.
- Use bold colors. If you don’t have a lot of items to display, you can still rock the maximalist style by using bright colors and bold patterns on your flooring and big items like your kitchen appliances.
