As a lover of bold colours, vibrant patterns, and kitschy accessories, I genuinely couldn’t be happier to hear that searches are up 212% on Pinterest for the interior design trend, #Maximalism. After all – if beige has no haters – I must be dead.
Forget the bouclé cushion covers, stripped-back stone vases, and neutral linen lampshades that have dominated the interiors scene in recent years – it’s time to embrace a more eclectic and energising aesthetic. And best of all, it’s completely possible to do so without having to get out any paint brushes.
‘A trend that’s all about expressing your personality through the mixing of bold colours and clashing patterns, you don’t need to carry out a complete home makeover in order to achieve the maximalist look,’ explain Sarah and David Ross, co-founders of Addison Ross.
Instead, they suggest using statement accessories to inject some extra joy and personality into your home. ‘These kinds of small vibrant touches can really help inject some extra fun, richness, and character into an everyday space – making the ordinary feel considerably more fabulous.’
Not sure where to start? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered with this eye-catching edit of maximalist accessories.
