To keep your decoration from appearing too random, find a few common colors or patterns to replicate through the room. There`s a fine line between your decoration being an”everything bagel” and a platter of colorful pastries.
What is maximalism?
You get a lot of bang for the buck when you allow the smaller details speak for themselves. The majority of us live in small spaces, so this style of decor makes us more content. The more colors, patterns, and details you place on a wall, rug, or side table, the more you are pushing yourself to explore a larger area, which is awesome. What are some maximalist trends and trends we should look out for? Some of our favorite maximalist trends are the picture layout, backlit wall art, bold prints, sculptural furniture, minimalist furniture, asymmetrical sofas and upholstery, and fabulous lighting fittings. Where do we start when we are looking to do some maximalist decorating?

How to decorate your space
— Make room for your favorite furniture pieces. As opposed to shoving a full-sized sofa or chair into a small space, place it in a corner or lounge area that`s optimal for where you want to sit. — If you`ve got a smaller area, use the furniture to create additional seating rather than cramming in more furniture. Try using side tables rather than a huge coffee table to create extra seating. — Do not just paint an accent wall; apply the same color or pattern to a greater portion of the wall. This will give your space a cohesive appearance. — it is easy to incorporate patterned rugs into a room or wall covering by arranging a rug over a piece of furniture or a piece of wall furniture.
Choose a color
You don`t need to select a color just because it`s the trendy color du jour. It is possible to paint a bedroom a light blue for a fresh and contemporary feel, or go with yellow for a warm and inviting setting. Switch it up It`s fun to experiment with colors; one small switch can completely change the feel of a space. Give your living room a dusky, dark color for an intense vibe, or blend in a splash of color with a bright floral pattern for a pop of personality. Join the club If you like a certain color or design, make your house your own and add it to your decor also. In the bedroom, try bold and colorful artwork or pillows to make it your own; you can even create an entire color palette for your bedroom.

Choose a pattern
The general rule of thumb for picking a blueprint for your walls is to go for one that matches your pillows, bedding and wall coverings. But some patterns may work better with your existing home furnishings, like the floral pattern in your bedding or the paisley pattern in your curtains. Another way to make a design work is to make your house your own by mixing it with a color scheme you alreadyhave in your property. If you already have a reddish color scheme in your home, use another red or burgundy for the walls. A gentle, sea foam green in your walls may brighten up a space and match your existing furniture. Maximize the closet Maximizing the closet is another way to optimize a space.
Pick an interior design style
While maximalism is all about the flash and flare, a minimalist space is all about creating the illusion of more space. Although you may not have as much space for furniture, you do have more color. As soon as you find a style, stick with it. Minimalist houses are rarely over the top. On the other hand, maximalist spaces are filled with crazy, fantastic and lavish furnishings. Mixing the two is a bit of a”no duh” but not the easiest approach for most people. Consider what you can live with and what`s going to be a constant reminder of your residence. I have found that once people settle on a particular appearance, they often feel obliged to keep it up as much as possible. Don`t! Minimalist design is all about personal style, you don`t have to force a curtain around your whole house.
Minimalism vs. maximalism
While it can be easy to confuse the two, there`s a major difference between minimalism and maximalism. Minimalism can include 1 piece of furniture in every room; maximalism can feature thousands of colors and pieces. Minimalism means that the only accessories you add to a space are a few pieces of art and a few pieces of white furniture; maximalism signifies the room is going to be covered in elaborate, mismatched objects. Maximalism (any contemporary art) It all started with Art Deco. The simple lines and clean design is classic and always in style. The best examples of this style is seen in New York, but a few local-yokels have taken on the same minimalist aesthetic. John the Architect, Nelson Coffee and Overstock are allgreat examples of minimalist designs in Sioux Falls.
