With the maximalist interior design trend continuing to be a favourite style on Instagram and Pinterest, the idea of more is better has been grabbed by so many homeowners and taken to the maximum.
Social media is full of people showing off their rooms stuffed full of colour and pattern, texture and tactile fabrics, furniture and accessories.
