Maximalism Is Making A Comeback, Here’s How To Do It Yourself At Home

Take heed of fashion-turned-home influencer Lucy Williams and her penchant for statement-making interiors featuring a party of textures, colours, and furniture galore. This woman has no interest in scant collections of chairs and tables, but has filled many a nook and cranny in her recent London townhouse renovation with seating, bar carts, leg rests, and more. Gather an eclectic collection of furniture for your home with a practical edge – chairs and bar carts are two easy ways to access maximalism (just don’t forget to fill the latter with some drinking essentials).

The undisputed queen of clashing prints (and maximalism in general) is Brisbane-based interior designer Anna Spiro, a lady with a reputation for being bold with colour. Patterns galore form the bulk of her vibrant home revamps, with these spaces laden with layers upon layer of batik, paisley or stripe. It’s easy enough for you to do at home by throwing together collections of mismatched cushions, linens for your bedroom,  or even table linens.

Renowned interior designer Kelly Wearstler is no stranger to maximalism – this is a woman synonymous with statement-making interiors and not only behind a handful of design-focused tomes, but top hotel looks include Instagram-favourite Santa Monica Proper. She famously embraces a ‘love colour, take risks, stay curious’ philosophy you can do yourself (promise), just go for loud and proud shades in every room. It doesn’t matter if it’s vibrant cushions, piles of brightly covered books or eye-catching prints – they’re all welcome here.
