Maximalism

The extrovert of interior design, with the proud motto of 'more is more', maximalism is an exuberant celebration of pattern, colour and texture chosen to clash. Its roots lie in 1930s Hollywood Regency, Rococo and Neoclassicism, as well as styles with Greek, Egyptian and Asian origins. With a historical overview of maximalist decor, and illustrated with examples of notable interiors and key elements such as lighting, furniture, colour palette, texture and textile, this book offers practical advice on how to recreate the look in your own home
