Welcome to the 'more is more' world of decorating, or as it's more
commonly know in the business, Maximalism.
A style that embraces the all-out: beautiful colour palettes, luxurious
textiles, patterns and embellishment. Maximalism is the epitome of
passion, one in which Scandi-style, stripped bare and pared-back
interiors have no place. Abigail Ahern guides us through the sea change
in the world of interiors as the pendulum swings away from minimalism,
over to our increasing desire for self-expression and optimism. Learn
how to break the 'rules' of interior design, play fast and loose with
different periods in a single room and have fun. Maximalism allows you
to dip into colour palettes and any decade or style, with the effect of
stirring up emotions and creating a bedazzling space you'd never want
to leave.
Chapters include:
- Developing a Sense of Style: Research tips and how to
begin, from trawling Instagram and tearing sheets from magazine.
- Expressing Yourself: Learning which rules to forget and
which guidelines you would do best to remember to make your decorating
foolproof.
- All-Important Accessories: Learn to create a story whereby
every object in the room supports the same vision.
- Identifying Your Palette: Experiment with thinking outside
the box and be curious with colour - what matters most is not the
colour but the tone.
- Creating a Sense of Home: All homes should have a soul and
you should be the mixologist, taking risks and mixing up furniture
styles with aplomb.
- Creating Ambience with Lighting: Lighting is key and
enables you to set a mood that is instantly tangible and has a direct
impact on mood and energy.
- Styling Your Space: The secret ingredient to making a
maximalist home work, and not feeling like a cluttered mess.
- Challenge the Norm: Harness beauty and oddity, sensuous and
the macabre, to create a decorative melting pot where elements vibrate
with energy.

black book where we find the best global decor stores not to be missed.
