AI summary

Maximalist design is a bold, eclectic alternative to minimalism, focusing on personality and self-expression. This vibrant style encourages creating visually rich spaces that tell your unique story.

Key features include:

- Bold colours and daring contrasts

- Layered textures and patterns like velvet, florals, and animal prints

- A mix of antique and modern furniture and art

It's about curating personal collections to craft a home that feels alive and reflects your individuality.
