What is maximalism in interior design?

Interior design is the branch in which maximalism has developed more easily. It is an expression that at first glance can be shocking, but that requires its balance.

Maximalism seeks to decorate without regard or guidelines. The colors are the most exploited medium, but in recent years the textures have been placed as the best resource for this styling. The straight lines and purists in the furniture are obsolete in Maximalismwhich attracts the trend are curves and flourishes that fill the space with personality. The forms are indispensable, either in figures at different scales, on the floor or on the table, to furniture in different and unique forms.

How to have a maximalist space?

To create a maximalist space, the key is in the use of its dimensions. Unlike minimalism, which seeks the freedom of space, Maximalism focuses on occupying the space available in its entiretywhether walls, floors, and yes, even the roofs.

Roots are also important. For example, a house can be decorated inside the Maximalism Mexican, with figures from the folklore of Mexico, and strident colors, such as pink, green, even yellow. Thematic paintings are the infallible resource to achieve maximalism.

Finally, The style mixture shouts maximalism at its expression. Mix historical furniture, whether Baroque, Art Deco or Gothic, with contemporary, art or decorative pieces, will achieve that eclectic touch that characterizes maximalism.

The secret of maximalism? Not being afraid to dare.
