We believe that 2021 will be the year of interior design. Yes, we've been cooped up in our houses for the last year and are now anxious to reintegrate into society. But we're willing to wager that many of us are plotting methods to reintroduce our loved ones into our lives. Dinners with the family, garden parties, and simply a peaceful night in front of the television are all possibilities. And, if your calendar is already full, perhaps it's time to take a peek at the interior design trends that interior experts think will be popular this year. So, in today's article, we'll discuss maximalism, one of our favourite themes for 2021.
What is maximalism, exactly?
The maximalist movement, which is on the opposite side of the fence from minimalism, is all about strong colour, texture, and patterns. It entails more of what you already enjoy. More of the colours that you're attracted to. The textiles that make you want to run your fingertips over them. Those little trinkets that make your heart skip a beat. We fill our houses with the things we enjoy and are no longer ready to hide them in the sake of simplicity. We're all about expression in 2021.
Consider this: we've spent the last 12–18 months trapped behind four walls, with no one to whom we may express ourselves. And we expect this passion for all things bold and daring to continue over the next 12 months.
So, how do you go about bringing it into your home?
Adding a touch of maximalism to your house
It's easy to become overwhelmed by the prospect of accumulating more and more belongings in your home. Especially when we've been encouraged for decades to simplify and de-clutter. The beauty of maximalism is that it does not imply cramming toot into every nook and cranny. It's a physical manifestation of yourself and everything you care about. Have you ever entered a store, noticed a multi-colored pineapple statue, and resigned yourself to leave it on the shelf since it doesn't match anything in your home?
Have you ever been reading through Pinterest and fallen in love with a colourful, geometric rug that has no matching accessories to match its colour palette? This is the beauty of maximalism: it gives you the courage to incorporate such things into your house.
Our top recommendations are as follows:
Pick your favourite colours and don't be scared to experiment.
Instead of focusing on the room's appearance, look for art pieces that speak to the spirit.
You should only use furnishings and accessories that you adore.
Personalization takes precedence over anything else.
Creating a maximalist sanctuary with window coverings
You already know how much we like incorporating window screens surrey into current interior design trends. Window coverings, which are made-to-measure and come with complete installation instructions, allow you to connect a space together while also experimenting with design. It's also extremely simple to embrace maximalism and discover the right window blinds to design your house, thanks to the broad choice of patterns and colours available.
ROLLER BLINDS WITH PATTERNS
Roller blinds are one of the simplest ways to experiment with patterns in your house. You can easily showcase your favourite print for all to see with a single panel of cloth that can be rolled up or down. Our Sloane Charcoal Roller Blinds, for example, feature an elaborate subdued design that works well behind brightly coloured sofas and intricate art pieces. Similarly, blinds like the Harvest Mandarin Roller Blind add bustle and colour into a traditional design (florals) - the ideal mix for a maximalist refuge. Choose the Seed Pod Pink Roller Blind with its bright and diverse pattern if you want something bolder in style.
VERTICAL TEXTURED BLINDS
It isn't necessary for maximalism to be all about pattern. It may also be about combining different textures to create an intriguing space. Textured vertical blinds are an excellent choice for individuals want to join the 2021 trend. Consider adding linen fabrics to your windows, velvets to your seats, and furs to your flooring. Colors like the Linen Teal Vertical Blinds and the Camden Solar Fuschia Vertical Blinds are striking. Alternatively, the Essence Mauve Vertical Blinds are a more opulent option.
WOODEN BLINDS WITH COLORED TAPE
There's something irresistibly appealing about wooden blinds, and you'll be relieved to learn that there are alternatives for you here as well. The tapes go down vertically throughout the blind to hold hardwood slats in place and hide unsightly threads. To make them even more unobtrusive, they'll usually be the same colour as the wood. But we're discussing maximalism here. So we recommend our True White Wood Grain Faux Wood Blinds with Lulu Tape, Fizz Tape, or Acid Tape, which are bold and distinctive.
It is up to you to interpret maximalism. And there is where the trend's beauty lies. At Super5 Blinds, we have a variety of choices to choose from so you can try it out in your own house. Remember to pick colours that you adore, designs that speak to your spirit, and alternatives that allow you to fully express your own individuality.
