Do you know that your bedroom is the space you spend most of your time in your home? To the majority of us, our bedroom is our sanctuary. It is our refuge that can melt away all our stress and anxiety. That is why it is important that we put in more effort to breathe life into our bedroom. And we could do exactly just that via Maximalism. In fact, we are going to look at the 6 ways how to incorporate Maximalism in the bedroom.
What is Maximalism?
But before we even start: What is Maximalism? For the uninitiated, Maximalism is the art of more is better and more artistic, literally. So by incorporating interior designs for your bedrooms, you can add layered patterns, include repetitive decorations and make use of accessories as well as applications of vivid colours.
When More Is Better
With Maximalism, you will be infusing mesmerising colourways together with audacious ornaments. In other words, when you want to add a few sprinkles of maximalism magic into your bedroom, you will be bold in your choices of colours and be really playful. It is like you are trying to make your bedroom dramatic and elegant at the same time. Then again unlike minimalism, Maximalism walks a fine line between "curated" and "chaotic". You do not want to turn your bedroom into a multiverse of madness, no? So do read on to find out how you can do it right with Maximalism.
6 Ways How To Incorporate Maximalism In The Bedroom
1. Choose a Complementary Colour Palette
By now you would have known that the core of Maximalism is about colours. As a rule of thumb, the more colours, the better right? That is correct if your choice of colours can complement each other beautifully. So the key is to pick a cohesive set of colours that could bring out the best in each other. It will be more ideal if cheerful, vivid colours are selected.
Make sure you choose a colour palette based on the mood and emotions that you want to evoke when you are in your bedroom. If you want your bedroom to look posh and luxurious, you can mix and match Gold, Navy, Royal Blue, Blush Rose and Breeze colours. Want a Pink Easter theme for your bedroom? Choose the vibrant colours of Peach, Salmon, Candy Corn, Pale Pink and Linen. There are thousands of colour palettes to choose from to bring Maximalism into your bedroom.
2. Create Your Wall of Arts
Another important feature of Maximalism for any bedroom is your so-called "art gallery". Of course, instead of filling up all 4 walls with pictures, we should just focus on one single wall. You don't have to be a genius racking your brains to decide which work of art should be on your wall. This is supposed to be your very own, personal wall filled with artwork that you love and hold dearly.
As I have aforementioned, you do not have to be worried about your choice of art, the types of frames or even the colours in the artwork. The only guide you need to bear in mind is the spacing between your chosen artwork. Regardless of the sizes of the artwork, you have picked, the spacing between each of them should always be uniform.
3. Personalize Your Bedroom With What You Love
Another important aspect of Maximalism is identity. Though more is better, it will only work if you add more decorations that you, yourself love. It will be pointless to decorate your bedroom with something that looks beautiful but does not have any significance to you. Your room is your chill-out zone for you to relax and recharge and that is why it makes perfect sense to fill it with your own favourite things.
Do you adore maroon colours? Then add more maroon colours as well as other complementary colour palettes. You are a big fan of classical Roman and Greek culture? Then add those renaissance statues to enliven your mood. Remember that your bedroom is supposed to be your sanctuary, your private space to boost your inspiration. Just ask Taylor Swift. She wrote her "Love Song" in her bedroom in a mere 20 minutes. So remember to personalize your room with what you love.
4. Limitless Number of Books
They say that the sole purpose of a bedroom is to melt away all our stress right? So what good way is there than reading your favourite books in your favourite place in the house? That is why book lovers will love maximalism decoration. Dreams do come true for bibliophiles (books lovers) as you could have as many books as you like in your bedroom thanks to Maximalism.
You just need to choose bookshelves with complementary colour palettes to complement the styling and decorations of your bedroom. So no more hiding your favourite books in dusty boxes, gloomy basements or dimly-lit attics. All your books will be within your reach and you can hole up in your bed while immersing yourself in the sweet scent of the pages.
5. Maximum Comfort In Your Bedroom
Decorating your bedroom via the incorporation of Maximalism also means that you will only give yourself the best when it comes to comfort. What is the centrepiece of your bedroom? If you ask me, it has to be our beds, no? It defeats the very purpose of Maximalism if you do not get the best mattress for your bedroom.
After a whole day of work, your dream vacation will be your bed. It is in your bed that you get to unwind, let your hair loose and rejuvenate. Hence, it is highly recommended that you get a mattress that is highly comfortable be it a single bed, double bed or even king size bed. Always remember that the bigger the bed is, the more comfortable you will be. Go for the maximum whenever you can!
6. Maximalism Is About Imperfection
Maximalism is about maximising what you love and adore in your bedroom to give you that sense of belonging. Hence, it does not necessarily have to be perfect. In fact, the little flaws and mismatches could be the imperfection that you need. You do not have to be stressed over your choice of colours or furniture. Don't be bothered to get everything in perfect order. There is no right or wrong. Maximalism is about you, your personality and comfort.
It Is Time To Maximise Your Bedroom
Remember that your bedroom is your happy place. Your bedroom is your haven for you to get vulnerable, fall apart and rejoice. It is your zen space that can give you comfort and peace of mind. Therefore, you really need to put in more effort to create the best bedroom for yourself and that is where Maximalism comes into the picture. Get creative and be bold! Rest assured, you will be getting a bedroom you will be proud of.
