Minimalism’s counterintuitive counterpart has finally arrived – maximalist decor, where the mantra is ‘more is more.’ It may seem paradoxical that a space filled with numerous, eclectic pieces can exude harmony and cohesion. However, this aesthetic thrives on intentional curation, allowing each treasured find to shine alongside its companions.
