Bold Is Back: Embracing Maximalism in Interior Design

Minimalism may have ruled the design world for the past decade, but lately? We’ve seen a big shift—and it’s anything but quiet. Maximalism is making a comeback, and we are here for it. At Inspired Spaces Interior Design, we’re seeing a powerful shift toward maximalism: a vibrant, expressive design trend that celebrates personality, creativity, and unapologetic flair. This design movement is all about celebrating personality, vibrancy, and a fearless approach to mixing color, pattern, and texture. It's layered, expressive, and often a little unexpected—which is exactly what makes it so fun to design and to live in.

So, what is Maximalism?

Contrary to popular belief, maximalism isn’t about clutter. It’s about curation. It’s the art of combining bold elements—whether that’s saturated color, oversized artwork, or a stack of patterned throw pillows—in a way that feels intentional and expressive.

At Inspired Spaces, we love helping our clients push beyond “safe” choices to explore combinations that feel daring, dynamic, and deeply personal. Maximalism gives us permission to play, to tell stories through design, and to create rooms that spark joy every time you walk in.

Color, Pattern, and Personality!

Maximalism embraces color in a big way. We’re talking moody emeralds, rich terracottas, and unapologetically bright accents. It's not uncommon to see floral wallpaper paired with a striped rug or a velvet sofa sitting beneath a quirky gallery wall. And somehow—it works.The key is balance. Layering takes a skilled eye, and we love guiding our clients through the process to make sure each room still feels cohesive, functional, and uniquely theirs.

Why We Love It

Maximalist interiors feel like a deep breath of creative air. They're energizing. They're full of personality. And, most importantly, they feel lived in. Your home should be a reflection of your life, your travels, your memories, your style—and maximalism gives us space to celebrate all of that without holding back.

Maximalism isn’t just about looks—it’s about how a space feels. When done right, bold interiors can energize a room, spark creativity, and make your home feel like a true reflection of who you are. Whether you want to redesign a single statement room or bring bold expression into your entire home, we’ll help you make fearless choices with confidence!
