To keep your decor from looking too random,find a few common colors or patterns to repeat through the room. There`s a fine line between your decor being an”everything bagel” and a platter of vibrant pastries.
What is maximalism?
In a nutshell,maximalism means making the most out of limited spaces,beginning with the smallest thing and building up. You get a lot of bang for the buck when you allow the smaller details speak for themselves. Most of us live in tiny spaces,so this style of decor makes us muchmore content. The more colors,patterns,and details you put on a wall,rug,or side table,the more you`re pushing yourself to explore a larger space,which is awesome. What are some maximalist tendencies and trends we should keep an eye out for? Some of our favorite maximalist trends are the graphic layout,backlit wall art,bold prints,sculptural furniture,minimalist furniture,asymmetrical sofas and upholstery,and fabulous lighting fittings.

How to decorate your space
— Make room for your favorite furniture pieces. As opposed to shoving a full-sized couch or chair into a small space,put it in a corner or lounge area that`s optimal for where you would like to sit. — If you`ve got a smaller space,use the furniture to create extra seating rather than cramming in more furniture. Consider using side tables rather than a large coffee table to create additional seating. — Don`t just paint an accent wall; apply the identical color or pattern to a greater portion of the wall. This will give your room a cohesive appearance. — You can easily incorporate patterned rugs to a room or wall covering by organizing a rug over a piece of furniture or a piece of wall furniture. Maximalist accessories Fiber arts or embroidery art.
Choose a color
You don`t need to select a color just because it`s the trendy colour du jour. It is possible to paint a bedroom a light blue for a fresh and modern feel,or go with yellow for a warm and inviting atmosphere. Switch it up It`s fun to experiment with colours; one small switch can completely change the feel of a room. Give your living room a dusky,dark color for an intense vibe,or mix in a splash of colour with a bright floral pattern for a pop of character. Join the club If you like a certain color or design,make your home your own and add it to your decor as well. In the bedroom,try bold and vibrant pillows or artwork to make it your own; you can also create an entire color palette to your bedroom.

Choose a pattern
The general rule of thumb for choosing a blueprint for your walls is to go for one that matches your pillows,bedding and wall coverings. However,some patterns may work better with your current home furnishings,such as the floral pattern in your bedding or the paisley pattern in your drapes. Another way to create a design work is to make your home your own by mixing it with a color scheme you have in your property. A soft,sea foam green in your walls may brighten up a space and match your current furniture. Maximize the closet Maximizing the closet is another way to optimize a space.
Pick an interior design style
Although you might not have as much room for furniture,you do have more colour. Once you find a style,stick with it. Minimalist houses are seldom over the top. On the other hand,maximalist spaces are filled with crazy,fantastic and lavish furnishings. Consider what you can live with and what will be a constant reminder of your residence. I`ve found that once people settle on a certain appearance,they frequently feel obliged to keep it up as much as possible. Don`t! Minimalist design is all about personal style,no need to force a drape around your whole house.
Minimalism vs. maximalism
When it can be easy to confuse the two,there is a major difference between minimalism and maximalism. Minimalism can include one piece of furniture in every room; maximalism can feature thousands of colors and pieces. Minimalism means that the only accessories that you add to a room are a couple of pieces of art and a few pieces of white furniture; maximalism means the room will be covered in elaborate,mismatched objects. Maximalism (any modern art) It all began with Art Deco. The easy lines and clean design is timeless and always in fashion. The best examples of this style can be seen in New York,but a couple of local-yokels have taken on the same minimalist aesthetic. John the Architect,Nelson Coffee and Overstock are great examples of minimalist designs in Sioux Falls.
