01. Be Confident and Go Bold<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

\u201cThe key to maximalist design<\/strong><\/a> is embracing the trend with wild abandon, no fear of being over the top,\u201d says designer Emilie Munroe of\u00a0Studio Munroe. \u201cOne overscale, bold, wild, colorful item will throw the balance off in a space and not exude the confidence that is so appealing about the maximalist look.\u201d Rather, Munroe suggests layering at least four fabulous maximalist elements into a space. For example, try patterned wallpaper with jewel-toned casework, a\u00a0vintage rug<\/strong><\/a>, and a large-scale crystal chandelier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

02. Bust Out the Paint<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

Paint is the answer, says designer<\/strong><\/a> Grey Joyner of Grey Joyner Interiors. \u201cThe best way to create a wow factor in a room is colored paint,\u201d the designer explains, and her suggestion doesn\u2019t stop at walls. \u201cPaint your grandmother\u2019s chest a high-gloss plum and pair it with an animal print rug,\u201d she suggests. \u201cOr, paint the walls of a room teal and hang colorful pieces<\/strong><\/a> of artwork or framed pictures from your recent travels.\u201d<\/p>\n

03. Show Off a Collection<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t have a collection<\/strong><\/a> to display? Go ahead and start one! \u201cBook collecting is easy, and there are so many options available,\u201d Joyner says. \u201cI love\u00a0decorating with books. It often allows me to put different colors together as well as different materials\u2014leather, linen, paper.\u201d This setup is both maximalist<\/strong><\/a> and welcoming.<\/p>\n

04. Mix Plenty of Patterns<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Don\u2019t worry about the juxtaposition of different elements that are from various time periods and feature various\u00a0colors and prints<\/strong><\/a>, Joyner notes. \u201cI like to have fun with maximalism decorating<\/strong><\/a>, so I mix the old with the new, the stripe with the plaid, the blue with the purple so that it expresses a personal style unlike anyone else\u2019s,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

05. Wallpaper the Ceiling<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

The\u00a0ceiling\u00a0is the fifth wall of any room<\/strong><\/a>, after all! According to designer<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Lilse McKenna, \u201cIt can be a detail that you might not notice at first, but in the end, those small details are what really count when designing a space that is layered.\u201d<\/p>\n

06. Don\u2019t Worry About Being Too Curated<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
SARAH WINCHESTER FOR MALLY SKOK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Instead, simply buy the things you love. As designer<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Mally Skok\u00a0puts it, \u201cAre you just meant to look and not buy that adorable little watercolor by some really good amateur watercolorist from the 1940s?\u201d she says. \u201cI just don\u2019t have the restraint to live in a highly curated world. I need that little painting wrapped up, and I will find a place for it when I get home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

07. Shop Your Own Home<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Shop your own house in order to find pieces that deserve a little extra love, and then let them shine. \u201cPull out your favorite accessories<\/strong><\/a> and try arranging them in vignettes around your home, using vases, pitchers, boxes and books to curate beautiful, personal moments,\u201d Kevin O\u2019Gara of\u00a0Kevin Francis Design suggests.<\/p>\n

08. Embrace Neutrals, Too<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

\u201cSometimes, it seems maximalist design<\/strong><\/a> can get confused in people\u2019s minds, and they begin to think it means \u2018cluttered\u2019 or \u2018busy\u2019 looking interiors,\u201d designer Anne Hulcher Tollett of\u00a0Hanover Avenue\u00a0says. \u201cBut, even those with a leaner aesthetic can embrace the beauty of maximalism.\u201d Here, a collection of white\u00a0ceramics steals the show in the dining room<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

09. Go Oversized<\/span>\n<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Don\u2019t be afraid to think big when it comes to accessories<\/strong><\/a>, artwork, and more. \u201cMaximalism really works when you go overscale,\u201d May says. \u201cA huge scaled pattern in a small space can make an incredible statement.\u201d<\/p>\n
