How to Create Maximalist Interiors

[Music] it's time for the part of the show when i'm joined by my good buddy style editor madonna stun double anna morley welcome hello that was some good vogue i liked that so last time we dealt the deck and we came up with maximalism it's not everyone's cup of tea this one it's busy it's bold it is a riot of colours and it's flamboyant i think you could say and so are there certain rooms you shouldn't put it in like maybe not in the bedroom where does it work well well i would say easily and probably most commonly the downstairs loo so that's where you get people going crazy with the ceilings putting wallpaper on up there going metallics putting up your crazy stripes because in there you can sort of everyone will see it be impressed and then you can just shut it away again so what kind of colors patterns should i look for or just all of the colors and patterns anything goes in terms of a starting point but you want to be careful you really have to kind of curate your colours and yes you do want you want vibrancy bold colours neon you don't have to do the whole scheme you can just do edging there's different ways of incorporating the maximalism looking actually so yeah curated craziness can i have a look at some samples please yes well we've got i've got a fabric sample here which isn't too crazy but you can now this is velvet which i don't know whether we can see that but it is opulent it gives you that kind of richness so this is this is nice and rich fabric we've got the colorful flowers it's a bit bold it's not crazy it's not out there but if you team it with this sofa it starts to bring a kind of a bit of a oh okay brave favorite choice so that's a nice fabric i kind of love these i kind of love and hate them really i do honestly i would like a pair of cowboy boots like this actually but some people would choose to put that on their walls all they're saying it's really fun i think again it's just a bit of a talking point as you said earlier really good for instagram marble um marble effect should i say it's not terribly marble but yeah kind of a bit of a talking point isn't it and then we've got some because obviously you can still do florals you want big and bold you just want to be a bit more dramatic be a bit fun with it if that's your thing maximalism not for the faint hearted and not for the unthought out scheme you don't want to look like a crazy hoarder you do want to look like it's a considered look even though it has got this kind of vibrancy to it and i guess you can tone it down with your finishes so your floor and your lighting does that need to be quite neutral to kind of pair it back well i'd say no not really like with a light fitting you know you want to have a bit of shine to it because you don't want you know it to kind of be quiet in the background you want it to have you know i would say glass and gold or some sort of metallic again with the opulence with your flooring i'd say yes okay if you're going to have like a wooden flooring throw down a graphic patterned rug because again it was going to look weird to have a plane rug if you if you if you're throwing yourself into maximalism throw yourself in but you do have to show a little bit of restraint you don't want to go gold's silvers coppers you know keep keep to one area like keep to one metallical if you're going to go for reds go for red burgundy pinks neons neon red or go for a harmonious thing so it kind of is a cohesive look so if you want to get the look on a budget do you just close your eyes and do a trolley dash in asda or what do you know you think about your career get some paint get stripes on the wall in whatever chosen colors black and white is very popular it's really bold it doesn't cost that much it was a bit top labor intensive getting the lines straight but very cheaply you can create a real big space with a real statement really quickly and also go back you know going back to asda they definitely have ranges with with nice finishes with them candlesticks or mirrors or or bizarre ornaments and then you can you can kind of add into your range with with cheaper products from the supermarket as well and is there a key piece for this is it a big bold curtain what what would you say it hangs around i would say if you're gonna if you're gonna do it i unless you're brilliant with paint i would say wallpaper a really bold uh print graphical wallpaper because that will that will start you off that will start your scheme off even if you don't want to go crazy with everything else at all that would kind of be a launching point so anna yes that's it maximalism done thank goodness everyone can kind of not like it would you like to pick a lovely card for next time maybe something calm neutral i would love to i'm going to go simple as you like yeah something can go over the top and it's funny enough minimalism well that's very good one for new year new year's actually clearing out it is perfect so join us next time and we will be telling you how to clear the clutter and go minimalist [Music] [Music] you
