Interior design can be divided into two camps. There's the understated cool of minimalism, where simplicity and clean lines take center stage. And then there's the polar opposite – the more is more approach of maximalism. In a nutshell, the latter embraces different colors, patterns, and shapes; the eccentric and unexpected; and then combines them to create high-impact, joyful, and deeply personal spaces.
Indoor plants can certainly play their part in this type of aesthetic. 'Maximalism is about making every inch of your space feel alive. And nothing does that better than houseplants,' says Katie Gutierrez, the principal interior designer at Errez Design. 'The right plants aren't just decor – they're characters in your story, full of personality, texture, and drama.'
