If you are looking to add more personality to your home, then you cannot go wrong by taking inspiration from maximalist designs where colours, patterns and textures are blended together to create eye-catching interiors with a depth of character. Crafted with thought to purposefully fit into the space, maximalist features can really transform a space. This could start with grand, intricate wallpapers unifying all four walls of a room that can transport a space into any story that you want to tell.

Ultimately, maximalism is about proudly and prominently displaying the objects you love be that wall art or other sculptures whilst maintaining a sense of balance such that every item has been delicately curated. As part of this, keeping a unified concept with a cohesive colour and texture palette is essential but as long as you can connect with each piece it will never go out of your personal style.

Beyond wallpaper, bringing in maximalist ideas may be as simple as introducing small accessories such as colourfully patterned scatter cushions or selecting bold fabric colours and textures that stand out whilst keeping the symmetry of the space. The element of surprise is also key to maximalism so mixing styles rather than focusing on a rigid theme can add talking points that will never get old. Whatever you go for, stay true to who you are and your gut instincts as your home should always be the one place where you can feel comfortable and escape the stresses of daily life.

After all, maximalism is not really about a simple ‘more is more’ approach. In fact, maximalism shines in its moments of quiet, creating a sense of calm. Instead, maximalism is about being bold enough to express your mood and your memories in your home in a considered way, the perfect balance between comfort and extravagance. Rather than cluttering the home and mind, focus on the pieces that you can treasure as these will be truly timeless. It is not about pleasing others to follow the myth of ‘good taste’. all interiors lie on a spectrum of design each with a common goal to bring you joy so that you can call it home. This lies at the heart of what we believe at nelisignature.
