Maximalist style is the polar opposite of minimalism. It dominates the space with exciting patterns, expressive colours and lots of stylish accessories in shimmering gold or copper tones. However, this interior style is not about constantly buying new furniture or ornaments. Instead, it is much more about harnessing creativity and extravagance. You can combine whatever you like, from furniture inherited from grandparents to genuine flea market treasures. What is important, however, is to create a harmonious and coherent overall impression, despite the abundance of decoration and patterns. There are therefore some basic rules to follow:
- Use a common colour palette to coordinate patterns and shapes
- Colours within the maximalist interior palette should be powerful, intense and bright
- The panoply of ornamental pieces should be part of a coherent concept, rather than creating noise and being combined at random
- The style transformation cannot happen overnight; instead, it should be gradual. This way you prevent the room from feeling overcrowded and give free rein to the process
- For each decorative element, consider whether it really fits into the overall room or aesthetic and enhances it
With a matching pattern mural from Komar, your interior style will really come into its own. Large pattern photo murals make for a particularly stylish feature when combined with rugs or cushions.
