Maximalism: Use Bold Colors in Interiors Without Apology
Express yourself
Maximalism in interior design embraces the philosophy of “more is more,” celebrating boldness, abundance, and visual richness.
When using bold colors without apology, maximalism takes center stage.
Here’s how to approach this vibrant aspect of maximalist design:
Color saturation. Embrace deeply saturated hues across large surfaces. Think emerald green walls, sapphire blue sofas, or ruby red draperies.
Color clashing. Don’t shy away from combining colors that traditionally “clash.”
Pair orange with purple, or pink with red for a deliberate, energetic contrast.
You may layered color palettes. Use multiple bold colors within the same space.
Instead of limiting yourself to one or two statement colors, incorporate several.
Colorful patterns. Integrate bold colors through patterned wallpapers, upholstery, or rugs.
Mix different patterns that share common colors.
