Maximalist buying guide
Maximalist styling layers pattern, colour and texture rather than picking one accent piece, matte black tapware against a terrazzo-look tile, a statement wall light, and a bold framed mirror all in the one room.
Layering without it feeling cluttered
Repeating one or two colours across different textures, a pink terrazzo floor tile echoed in a soft furnishing, generally reads as considered rather than chaotic, while too many unrelated colours in one room can tip into visual noise.
Related styles
Maximalist overlaps with colourful home decor and gold decor, both of which lean on a similar layered, more-is-more approach. Compare against classic styling for a more restrained reference point.
