If you love a more is more vibe in your home, you’re in luck. Maximalism is having a major resurgence in interior design. So, there’s never been a better time to blend all your design influences into one harmonious style.
This trend is by no means new on the block. Maximalist interiors have been around for years. However, in 2022, there’s a new twist to its charm – it’s all about getting the right balance.
This trend is easy to introduce into your living spaces when you apply some basic interior design rules. Want to take your décor up a notch this year? Find out how to incorporate maximalist design into your life one room at a time.
Maximalism is precisely what it sounds like – taking interiors to the max. However, this isn’t about cramming your home full of things and furniture. Instead, this trend focuses on maxing out colours, print, design features and texture.
To some, this vibe comes off as a little chaotic. But, to maximalists, it exudes character and personality. Of course, it requires the confidence to pull it all together without over-egging the pudding.
Maximalism doesn’t hold back, and technically there’s no exact definition for it. But, the trend does offer the chance to push boundaries and tell a story with your design.
While your social feeds might be filled with modern maximalist living room inspiration, the trend dates back quite a bit – most notably to the Victorian era.
The Victorians loved exaggerated interiors. Think rich colours, bold décor and unique furniture. This love of maximalism was also complemented by eclectic taste. During this time, decorative features for the home became more affordable. So, they showcased personality and often wealth with trinkets, fancy wallpaper and drapery to all that visited.
Like all trends, maximalism waned for some time, and in the early 2000s, minimalist trends took centre stage. But all good things come around again, and this time we’re seeing a modern twist to the traditional maximalist design.
The variety of prints, colours and textures available from modern brands brings a new dimension to interior styling. However, classic designers such as William Morris still inspire furnishings today – 125 years after he initially made his mark on the industry.
For example, our collection of William Morris cushions are an ideal accompaniment to a maximalist bedroom or living space interiors.
There are many misconceptions about maximalism. The most significant is that the trend is about acquiring lots of things and squeezing in as much as possible. However, in reality, to make this styling work in your home, it’s about creating a delicate balance and teetering on the edge of too much.
Surprisingly, maximalist homes don’t feel cluttered in the conventional sense. Well thought out layouts alongside timeless décor and furniture is key to achieving eclectic balance.
So, how do you achieve harmony with this trend yet still show off your personality? Explore the basics below:
There are several elements to consider when incorporating maximalist design into your home. These include:
Layering is an essential aspect of this trend. It takes on several forms, such as how you style curtains against wallpaper or add accessories to furnishings. The key is starting with base layers and working on other designs and patterns around them.
Layers shouldn’t feel forced either. A great way to build upon them is by adding complementary colourways and prints over time to get the right vibe for the living space. Opting for classic maximalist designs such as William Morris cushion covers or William Morris curtains pays homage without overwhelming the space.
No maximalist room would be complete with a mix of prints and patterns. The beauty of this styling is that you can pick your favourites. Whether that’s leopard print, geometric shapes or floral motifs, anything goes. What’s more, clashing prints and patterns are a prominent maximalist feature in interior design.
Before you begin experimenting, try to balance the contrast. While this trend might feel like an ‘anything goes’ approach, getting the best mix will avoid a chaotic look. It really is an art – matching everything together to create a unique canvas.
Colour palettes will give a room a distinctive aesthetic alongside print and pattern. Colour plays a big part in how a space feels and how it makes you feel when you’re inside. So, whether you’re designing a maximalist bedroom or living room, bold, rich shades are essential for this trend.
The perfect base for any room colour and vibe is choosing maximalist wallpaper to create a wow factor. There’s everything from bright and bold designs to dark and striking tones. For inspiration, take a look at this William Morris Strawberry Thief wallpaper for a blend of classic colours and an intricate print.
As mentioned above, maximalist trends aren’t just about cramming your house with things. In fact, this styling is mindful yet playful when choosing home accessories and furniture. The theme here is eye-catching.
Decide what works well with your design foundations. Incorporate balance but don’t be afraid to push the boundaries with quirky accessories or furnishings. The key to making a statement is not adding too many focal pieces that overwhelm the space.
Texture is another key ingredient for a maximalist design. Similar to layering, it adds a unique dimension to the look and feel of a room. Texture is simple to integrate and can enhance various styling options.
The most common accessories and furnishings to deepen texture include:
You can also choose a variety of materials for furnishings such as:
Each of these elements adds depth and varying contrasts to your overall design. For example, choosing William Morris bedding and layering with contrasting cushions creates the perfect maximalist aesthetic. Check out the variety of colourways in our Morris and Co bedding collection for inspiration.
Do you have a favourite era for interior design? Perhaps it’s Art Deco or Victorian, but you can’t decide which style to incorporate. Fear not – you don’t have to choose between the two! In a maximalist space, why not opt for a blend of two, three or even four interior design eras to create a totally unique home.
This trend doesn’t have any hard and fast rules. So, what works for you might not in someone else’s home. It’s ultimately about finding your own style and personality and showcasing it in a maximalist way.
Trends come and go, but the key to creating a timeless interior design is to build the trend into your lifestyle. If creating a full-on maximalist aesthetic isn’t quite right for your home, there’s the option to tone it down slightly without losing the appeal.
Maximalist features such as texture, colour and print can be added numerous ways. It even works alongside muted décor. Think about pops of bold tones or striking furniture additions that complement your current interior themes.
Furnishings and accessories are also inexpensive ways to refresh the space. Opt for cushions, throws, rugs and light fittings for striking focal points. In a bedroom, bedding and linen in bold colourways and patterns offer an on-trend yet a subtle nod to this year’s big trend.
Whether you love maximalism or want to try out this trend before going all-in, there’s an option for everyone. The crucial part is making it work for you and your home to enjoy your living spaces all year round.
Maximalism is a top trend for 2022, and it’s not hard to see why. This styling offers the perfect chance to incorporate personality and character into your home. Above all else, your design ideas will be unique to you.
Integrating this trend is ideal for anyone that wants to experiment. You can go big or add injections of maximalist vibes before you commit to a grander scale. The variations of colours, print, texture and pattern make a maximalist renovation exciting. But, at the same time, we understand it can be daunting with the choice available.
To help make the transition simple, our collections offer dreamy maximalist designs and colour palettes. Popular products include our Morris and Co cushions, which are beautiful in bedrooms and living spaces. We can also help with maximalist vibes in the bathroom with William Morris towels.
