It has\u00a0become a ubiquitous phenomenon, enthralling even the fashion world with its no-rule-set-in-stone approach\u2014where both the creator and user revel in unbridled creativity. In other words\u2014maximalism is like this pure\u00a0unadulterated outpouring of richness and expression. Freedom best describes this design movement that has seized everyone&#8217;s imagination at the moment.\u00a0<br \/>Your personality, emotions, and inspirations take centerstage\u2014it&#8217;s like stepping into an expressionist&#8217;s canvas\u2014where everything is exaggerated and in excess; be it colors, forms or storytelling\u2014albeit in a tasteful way. Given our personal predilection for this trend (no no, we haven&#8217;t forsaken our minimalist morals), we thought why not give our readers a primer on how to embrace this trend.\u00a0<br \/>Here&#8217;s how you can hitch your wagon to this trend en vogue\u2014<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>1. Trying in bits and pieces\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-135\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.venturaindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/old-home-love-staircase-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Image Source &#8211; Pinterest<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While maximalism does necessitate going all bonkers with design elements\u2014if you are doing it for the first time, we would suggest you take things slowly and in small doses. The good place to start this with is colorful cushions\u2014oversized botanical prints awash in jewel tones; if you have a couch in a neutral tone, tossing in a few colorful cushions will instantly catapult your space into prominence. Another ingenious way to embrace maximalism safely and effectively\u2014using vibrant wallpapers on stair\u00a0risers.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2. Using luxe finishes<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-136\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.venturaindia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2042-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Image source: Ventura<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Since maximalism is all about decadence\u2014the materials used in <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.venturaindia.com\/blog\/evolution-of-your-interiors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interiors<\/a> need to be deliciously luscious.
