The last few years have seen a shift in home design trends, as several homeowners are trading in their grey walls and minimal decor for bolder, more personality-driven designs. The Maximalist home design trend has recently gained popularity, combining modern and vintage elements in its aesthetic to provide a cozy, comfortable, and eclectic feeling to a home. Below, we’ll discuss a few reasons why homeowners should jump on this trend for home renovations in Edmonton and how you can make it happen with Peak Improvements.
1. Invites Rich Textures and Colours
For over a decade, the muted “millennial greys” and sleek surfaces of Minimalism have been the standard for newly built and renovated homes. While this style attempts to provide a calm and serene atmosphere, the Maximalist aesthetic embraces rich colours and diverse textures to create a visually stunning and more personal space.
If your personal style has a more vintage influence, design elements like patterned wallpaper, textured paint, natural wood, velvet upholstery, and darker shades of green and blue will provide a cozy atmosphere and showcase your personality in a more meaningful way. Whether you want textured walls, natural wood flooring, or warmer lighting, our team at Peak Improvements can help you integrate these concepts into your final design to create a more cohesive look and layout.
2. Integrates Vintage Elements
Vintage and antique elements are ideal for a Maximalist home. This aesthetic values the unique character and timelessness of vintage designs, as they add depth and personality to a space that makes it stand out. Wall sconces, brass hardware, wood panelling, and antique-style light fixtures are just a few features Peak Improvements can incorporate into your design to give it the charm and grandeur that homeowners love about vintage homes.
3. Maximizes the Use of Space
Maximalism is all about getting the most out of the space in your home. Rather than opting for the sleek look of an open-concept layout, Maximilism encourages turning every nook and cranny in your home into either useable or decorative space, filling empty areas with plenty of wall art, plants, books, tapestries, and other ornaments.
For example, you can feature a reading corner in your living room decked out with books, artwork, and a cozy accent chair. Not only does this create a functional space, but it also provides an opportunity to display a few decorations and ornaments that tie in both the space’s purpose and decor that fits your personality. At Peak Improvements, we can maximize the form and function of your home by adding elements to your renovation that create more useful space, from built-in storage to a fully reconfigured bedroom layout.
