Mixing and Matching Patterns in Maximalist Decor: A How-To Guide

From eye-popping focal points to pattern scaling like a boss, discover the secrets to creating a vibrant maximalist paradise...

Maximalism isn’t for the faint-hearted - it’s a wild, vibrant and unapologetically bold design statement! And the coolest bit? Design rules are optional (woohoo)! At the heart of this vibrant universe lies the art of pattern mixing and matching. But hold onto your hats, because this isn’t your run-of-the-mill design endeavour. It’s a thrilling escapade where patterns don't just coexist; they throw a lively carnival together! So, fasten your seatbelt and prepare to be flung into maximalist pattern madness.

Begin with a Focal Point

To ignite the fireworks of pattern mixing in your maximalist wonderland, let's kickstart the party with a bang! Picture this: you're about to choose a focal point, but not just any focal point. We're talking about our jaw-dropping, anything but ordinary wallpaper designs. These wallpapers are the dynamite that will set your room on fire with style.

Select a statement wallpaper that's so bold, it practically sets off fireworks in the room! Imagine the irresistible allure of ‘Forbidden Fruit’, the wild energy of ‘Lady Leopard’, or the timeless charisma of one of your faves, ‘Leonardo’. This isn't just wallpaper; it's your ticket to pattern paradise, and it'll be the star of your show.
