For clients who want to make bold statements of style, a pop of modern maximalist interior design is usually a good choice. And at Emily June Designs, we have helped a considerable number of clients on that journey of making bold statements of style using pops of modern maximalist designs.

Leaving a lasting impression

The maximalist style is ideal for someone who wants to leave a lasting impression in everyone who ever visits the styled space. This lasting impression comes about as a result of the right choice of colors, textures and patterns. That combined with the bold, unapologetic use of those elements. The chosen colors, textures and patterns have to be bold, yet still elegant (and not overwhelming to the eyes).

Glamour

The maximalist style is also ideal for someone who loves glamour. Often, deep beneath the desire for maximalist design will be a yearning to make one’s house look like one of those celebrity homes we see on TV. At Emily June Designs, we help you achieve just that look in real life.

Some modern maximalist interior design clients will already have made decisions on the specific décor elements to include in their homes. Such are usually only in search of professional help on the aspect of bringing all the décor elements together while maintaining functionality (and without looking too ‘wild’).

Practical considerations

At a more practical level, the modern maximalist look is usually achieved through the use of appropriately colored floor rugs, ornately designed wallpapers, ornate wall/table decorations, colorful fabrics and so on. Some sort of color palette and pattern has to be found for all these elements, and used throughout the space that is being styled, to ensure that the end result has a proper professional look.

Beyond color

Of course, while color is important, it is important to keep in mind the fact that ‘maximalist’ doesn’t always mean extravagantly colorful. There are clients who wish to achieve the maximalist look through the use of just a few colors, but numerous décor’ items. This too is a possibility we can work with.

Creating order from chaos

In all maximalist style projects, the challenge that usually arises is that of creating some sort of harmony from the numerous décor items used. The ability to create such harmony (without damping down the client’s desire for boldness) is what separates professional interior designers from amateurs.

How we can help you get a pop of modern maximalist interior design right

First we hold a consultative session with you, to understand your needs in terms of modern maximalist interior design. Some clients may refer to the style by name. Others may give a description which makes it clear that what they need is a pop of modern maximalist design. Either way, we try to gain a profound understanding of the sort of end-result you want to get. Then we are able to start with an end in mind. It is also at this stage that we get to understand the décor elements you already have, and get a hint on extra ones you may need to purchase, in order to infuse the pop of modern maximalist interior design in your space.

Creating the preliminary design plan

Second, and as a result of the consultative session, we create a preliminary design plan: incorporating all your stated goals. It is at this stage that we (working with you) make decisions on which elements are to go where, so as to create a bold yet still elegant/professional-looking look. This is also the stage at which we – again working closely with you – make decisions on things like the color palettes we are to work with as well as the patterns to play around with. At this stage, we are guided by the available décor elements’ colors as well as your desired end-result.

Preparing the space

The maximalist design is one of those that require plenty of space -- or at least an illusion of plenty of space – if they are to work well. So we find ways of making the rooms you wish to be styled to look bigger. To this end, we may opt for lighter colors (and actually help you in acquiring then painting them), remove clutter (while still retaining the things you love), introduce mirrors and so on. In all cases, we work tirelessly and only proceed once we are sure that the space is ready maximalist styling.

Buying décor items

Fourth, we walk with you through the journey of buying the necessary décor accessories, to make the pop of modern maximalist interior design come alive. As noted earlier, maximalist interior design often necessitates the acquisition of various décor items. This may be new, more colorful rugs. Or they may be new wallpapers. In other cases, they may be artworks. Or they may be more colorful fabrics... We identify the specific necessary décor accessories. Drawing on our experience and contacts in the industry, we can then help you in actually acquiring these décor elements.

Completing the look

Fifth and finally, we put all the elements together, to actually achieve the pop of modern maximalist interior design. This we do as per the guidance of the color palettes and patterns settled upon earlier. The end result is always a boldly styled yet still highly elegant space.
