AI summary

Maximalist design is a bold, eclectic style that celebrates excess and personality, moving away from minimalism. It's defined by rich colours, layered textures, and a vibrant mix of patterns like florals and animal prints.

This approach encourages blending antique and modern pieces and showcasing personal collections to create a unique, story-filled home. The goal is curated self-expression, resulting in a space that is visually stimulating and deeply personal, reflecting your individual tastes and memories.
