More is always more when it comes to maximalist design. The more creativity, style, joy, and comfort in your home, the more you enjoy your space. Lighting is an essential element of maximalist design. It breathes life into a room and when included in dramatic interiors, it enhances every corner of your décor. Smart LED lighting can be used to create bold effects while maintaining balance, resulting in a space that is both functional and welcoming. After all, maximalism doesn’t mean clutter; home decoration should always evoke sensations of comfort and calm.
The basics of maximalism and lighting
Personalization is the most important concept of maximalist interiors. Everything should fit your taste while coming together in a perfectly cohesive way. Over-the-top layers, patterns and colors unite with your smart lighting for a perfectly curated and ultimately unique representation of your style.
Maximalist spaces often choose color palettes or overarching themes to tie it all together. These connecting elements help avoid chaos.
