After a decade of minimalism, maximalism is making a bold comeback. While minimalism celebrates neutral colors, simple lines, and essential geometries, maximalism is hedonistic and bohemian. It contrasts the discipline and 'logic of subtraction' with a full freedom of spatial interpretation, ushering in an era of saturated environments that stand out for their bold shapes and colors. Theatrical and exuberant, this style loves to play with contrasts and break rules, turning your home into a vibrant stage. Embracing every form of culture, blending different trends, overlaying seemingly contradictory color schemes and decorative patterns.
Maximalism encourages playing with colors, textures, decorative patterns, and extra-large objects, creating harmonious spaces despite their vividness.
Walls dress in bright colors or eccentric wallpapers, while wooden elements and varied fabrics, from velvet to wool, from silk to cotton, imbue interiors with warmth and personality. Careful selection is key: everything is thought after, even if it seems casual.
Maximalist homes continually enrich themselves with meaningful objects. They embrace change, like an eternal journey, to be as individual as their owners. Balancing between nonconformity and elegance, warmth and refinement, maximalism is an explosion of creativity and individuality, ready to transform every interior into a personal masterpiece. "Less is a Bore," declared architect Robert Venturi. Maximalism seems to increase dopamine levels: playful and cheerful, it offers a unique sense of freedom.
Embracing maximalism means accepting the beauty of excess and the joy of decoration. It’s an invitation to fill every corner of the home with pieces that tell a story, that reflect our own personality and that create a welcoming and interesting environment. As maximalism evolves, one imperative remains constant: the celebration of life in all its glorious complexity.
