A design-centric office
A potpourri of colours, patterns, textures and shapes. If you believe that “more is more” then Kave Home has got the style for you. Happiness and personality is what maximalism is all about. So if these two adjectives sound like you, this is the way to go for you. Find out everything you're going to need for a maximalist home… you’re going to love it!
A home full of colour
Colour is everything for maximalists. That means that you need more than one colour scheme in your home. Mix colours, paint the walls, choose tiles with different prints, and you’ll soon have a happier home. Maximalism doesn't necessarily mean more items, the principle can be expressed everywhere and through any medium.
Mix prints
It’s tricky choosing just one, so why not go for them all? Floral, geometric, and animal prints are all must-haves. Have you seen the floral Gamer armchair yet? It's a Kave Home designed piece that no maximalist home should lack. Try out our new Abish or Catalina cushions in geometric prints. Don’t forget to coordinate everything and find the right balance, of course. Maximalism is all about your expression of style.
Blend different styles
We’re not just mixing colours and textures, but styles too. Anything goes. Our personal advice is to go for classic and modern styles – that way, you’re sure to create a space with lots of character. The contrast of items keeps the eye busy and creates a mix of materials effortlessly.
Fill the walls with colours and objects
Curating your own art gallery on your walls is one of the best bits about having a maximalist home. Put up pictures, mirrors and photos and get a totally new look, with work you love adorning every wall space. Wallpaper is another great idea for your walls if you want something that leans towards a more uniform look. Whatever you do, express your personality and the things you love with art, film posters, your favourite albums, prints, patterns, and places on your walls.
Bookcases and a library of books
Bookcases will help bring your walls to life and also add that touch of warmth that every home needs. Get out all your holiday souvenirs and give them a new use as decor. Books will help you fill every spare nook and cranny and introduce colour to the spaces they're arranged in.
Vases and flowers
It wouldn't truly be a maximalist home without flowers. Put big, vibrant, colourful bouquets in vases and see what a huge difference it makes to your spaces. Kave Home vases are wonderful decorative pieces too, brimming with character and style. An Arantya or Astera vase is an essential piece for your home, and adds to any look with or without something inside.
Rugs and fabrics
The floor of your home should be covered or complemented as well – a room without a rug is an absolutely unthinkable prospect in a maximalist home. Try mixing colours and prints. Our tip is this: put one rug on top of another to create a collage effect on the floor, a look that's become increasingly popular over the last 5 years, inspired by the overlapping woven fabrics of bedouin tents.
If you like the sound of all this, it’s time to mix things up, forget the rules and throw together different styles. Remember to maintain visual consistency and balance on your journey. Here’s to your maximalist, characterful home!
