While \u2018quiet luxury\u2019 is certainly having a moment in interiors \u2013 think subtle details, pared-back patterns, hush-hush finishes and whispered shades \u2013 there\u2019s no denying that maximalism is making waves at the other end of the spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the ushered, understated spaces trending in TV shows like Succession, maximalist d\u00e9cor is all about a more-is-more aesthetic, whether in furniture<\/a>, lighting<\/a>, textiles<\/a> or accessories<\/a>. It\u2019s loud, proud and totally unapologetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But fear not: you don\u2019t need to completely transform your home to try the trend. Here, we show you how you can channel your inner maximalist with just a few pieces, all personally handpicked by the expert team at Heal\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to celebrate excess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Punchy palette <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No space is every truly maximalist if you\u2019re still using neutrals. Layer a brightly-coloured backdrop of busy wallpaper or charismatic paint with similarly bold furniture and brave furnishings<\/a>, preferably in a selection of playful shades.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our luxurious sofas<\/a> come in a range of strong colours, from the Devon in red<\/a> to the Nuvola in petrol<\/a> and the Wallis in green<\/a>, while a smattering of scatter cushions in yet another vibrant hue will provide depth and drama. Try our Boucl\u00e9 <\/a>cushion<\/a> in cobalt, mustard or copper; or our Velvet cushion<\/a> in teal, rust or claret. Remember, when it comes to maximalism, there really are no rules \u2013 so long as combinations of colours are considered rather than random. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, consider another accent piece in furniture \u2013 the Lars sideboard<\/a> with its green-painted finish, perhaps, or the Lando sideboard<\/a> with its high-shine and block colour \u2013 supported by a gallery of vivid artwork. Orange Landscapes 01 Print<\/a>, Flores Nocturnas 01 Print<\/a> and Cantilever Chair<\/a> certainly aren\u2019t wallflowers and are sure to spark conversation in the space.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, curation is still key to ensure cohesion and stop the palette from becoming overpowering, so start by adding your dominant colours slowly to ensure they hang together. Sticking to a handful of three or five shades will certainly help to create an edited look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once complete, this will act as your \u2018canvas\u2019 against which you can add further maximalist touches in lighting<\/a>, textiles<\/a> and accessories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dramatic effect<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to lighting<\/a>, the bigger and bolder the better, so look to contemporary spins on traditional styles, such as a modern chandelier<\/a> dripping in drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Rock Crystal LED chandelier in brushed gold<\/a> makes a design statement and provides sparkling illumination; the Balance multi-arm chandelier<\/a> can even be hung on low ceilings; and our Squiggle LED pendant in white<\/a> completely flips the format on its head with a design that looks like a work of art whether illuminated or not. Alternatively, self-taught British designer Tom Dixon<\/a> is the master of maximalism, and his iconic Melt<\/a> is no exception comprising seven large pendants within a signature organic shape.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think oversized and ornate when it comes to other lighting sources, too, and layer styles for a look that\u2019s both eclectic and exciting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team towering floor lamps like Skipper by Tom Raffield<\/a> or Kabuki from Kartell<\/a> with look-at-me table lamps such as Multi-Lite by Gubi<\/a> and Nevo from a-emotional<\/a> and forgo complementary pairings with contrasting styles. Don\u2019t be afraid to mix-and-match materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to lights, shades are a secret way of adding even more impact. The 9602 floor lamp<\/a> is a case in point, bringing together Finnish lighting maestro Paavo Tynell and Parisian textile house Maison Pierre Frey to create a special edition of the 1935 classic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key to getting maximalist lighting right is that it\u2019s as much about adding texture and colour as it is illumination and ambience.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Personality clash<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Textiles are your friend when it comes to expressing yourself. Rugs<\/a>, cushions<\/a>, throws<\/a> and bedlinen<\/a> can quickly and easily turn drab to fab by adding to the sensory experience of a maximalist space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, it\u2019s all in the layering to achieve the aesthetic, from the New Zealand <\/a>wool<\/a> sheepskin<\/a> in vibrant yellow to the bright colours of Christopher Farr cushions<\/a> and the Amechi quilt<\/a> with its bold patterns and embroidered beadwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember: you can always swap textiles in and out so they\u2019re a great way of experimenting without too much risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Be brave<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, maximalism is the opposite of being restrained in your d\u00e9cor choices, and doesn\u2019t work in half measures. You need to commit to create impact \u2013 although, as above, you can start by simply styling a bed or a cosy corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
