Exploring the Dark Maximalism Interiors Trend Mineheart

Dark Maximalism is a huge trend right now as designers rebel against the blandness of minimalism. Will you reject clean lines and empty space and instead go for for personality in your interior? We look at some of the key features of the Dark Maximalism trend …

To get the Dark Maximalist look, think of a Victorian parlour packed with interesting artworks and display cabinets of curios. A gallery wall is a must, mixing up interesting artistic styles and frames to create something enticing for the eyes.

Cosy, intimate decor

You can’t achieve maximalist wall decor with plain walls. This look is all about multi-layering, using contrasting textures and colours for a sensory experience. A good wallpaper will anchor your design theme. Dark Maximalism calls for a darker shade with an intricate pattern.

Fabrics and textures

Add further depth by using rich materials on your flooring, your soft furnishings and even lighting. Luxurious Rugs will add a new dimension to the space, and the texture is important in adding to the look. For that Victorian look, see classic persian style carpets. A more contemporary dark-coloured rug can also look fantastic. The go-to fabrics for cushions and furniture are velvet, satin, faux fur and other tactile cloths.

Gold and bejewelled accents

People often worry that a dark decor theme will make a space feel drab and gloomy. But metallics like gold, silver, copper and bronze will lift the atmosphere and add luxurious accents. Think too about adding pops of rich colour like sapphire blue, emerald green and ruby red.
