Clutter-free Design
We absolutely love to purge and declutter. We strive to take cramped, crowded rooms and transform them into open, clear spaces. That being said, we don’t want this to be confused with total minimalism where spaces feel void of warmth and personality. We strongly believe there is a way to strike that perfect balance!
Here are a few strategies to achieve a clutter-free maximalist inspired style:
To achieve a maximalist style without clutter, consider incorporating color into your space. Choose a specific color palette with two or three shades, and experiment with complementary colors and bold accents.
Adding layers of textiles can bring an eclectic touch without creating a cramped feel. Utilize interesting patterns and textures in pillows and draperies to enhance the space.
Be intentional with your decor pieces by creating vignettes and grouping items together instead of scattering them around. Display shelves and shadow boxes can help showcase your items in an organized and tidy manner.
A gallery wall is a fantastic way to showcase art and keepsakes without taking up surface space, adding texture, color, and visual interest to the room. It's a great method to introduce a maximalist style without clutter.
Experimenting with scale and patterns can significantly impact the look of your space. Pair patterns of different sizes, like a small pattern on an accent pillow with a larger scale pattern on draperies, to create a visually appealing contrast without overwhelming the space.
Choose one or two statement furniture pieces or artworks per room to anchor the space and draw attention.
Don’t shy away from mixing different styles and eras; eclectic combinations are key to clutter-free maximalism.
Use layered lighting with ambient, task, and accent lighting to enhance different areas and create ambiance.
Choose bold light fixtures that complement your overall design scheme and act as additional focal points.
Above all, remember to enjoy the process! Declutter what you don't need and express your personality through colours, textures, and layers.
