More Is More Decor - A Handbook For Maximalists: Banish the beige, ditch the drab and throw the interiors rule book out of the window

Product Information

A contestant on Interior Design Masters, Siobhan showcased her eccentric, confident and truly unique style and has since followed up with a fun, quirky and helpful guide to all things maximalism. As far as home decor goes, maximalism is just another word for a phenomenon that’s been around for centuries: the art of displaying the things we love. Sticking with the same medium tone for the sofa, pillows, walls, and bookshelves keeps the room restful, as do a few neutrals. In recent years, visionaries like AD100 Hall of Famer Kelly Wearstler and AD100 designer Martin Brudnizki have championed the style and brought it further into the spotlight of the interior design zeitgeist. Both trends invite pattern-mixing and unique color combinations, like the sky blue and coral prints that cover this living room.

If you’re easing yourself into the world of wallpaper, perhaps start with the smallest room of the house – the powder room or cloakroom.The antique rug layered over the soft grass rug and the 'pattern on pattern' vintage textiles brought the whimsy and charm needed to make this room take off," says Keenan. If you find yourself drawn to bold colours, vibrant patterns and displaying all your favourite pieces of art, furniture and treasures at once, then read on to discover how to incorporate maximalist decor into your home.

Alongside his growing residential and commercial design portfolio, Matthew has also launched a series of homeware collections in collaboration with John Lewis, Pooky, Roome London, Obeetee, and more.White, of the University of British Columbia, says there's definitely an uptick in consumer interest in vintage items.
