How to do maximalism in a small room – 15 ways to make a statement in a tiny space

How to do maximalism in a small room.

Maximalism is the decorating trend centered around the idea of taking decor to the max in order to create rooms with wow-factor and impact. While minimalists believe less is more, for maximalists, more is more.  

Maximalists don't hold back, they like to push the boundaries and fill spaces with the things they love. The look is characterized by the liberal use of color, pattern, statement furniture, and art. Contrasting colors are welcomed, alongside a wealth of patterned fabrics and decorative trims. The beauty of the look is there are no rules. Styles are mixed across the eras and old is juxtaposed with new.
