Maximalism is a design style that uses an abundance of wonderful items all on display at the same time. Bordering on cluttered, maximalism is all about surrounding yourself with the stuff you love. Here are a few tips & tricks for how to decorate in a maximalist style without your home looking too messy.   Embrace Bold ColorsOne of the most popular elements of maximalism is the use of bold and vibrant colors. Use colors that make you happy and wake you up in the morning instead of colors that are "safe" and boring that everyone else uses in their homes. Don't be afraid to mix and match colors that are not often paired together.  Uniqueness is appreciated in a maximalist style. If you're not sure where to start, pick one large item with many colors (such as a large rug or piece of art) and decorate your room using the colors in that item.  Select at least 3 colors and repeat those colors in at least 3 places in your room.  For an added designer touch, also add in colors that are lighter or darker versions of your 3 colors for added depth of color.  For example, one of your colors might be turquoise.  You can decorate your room with turquoise lamps, some art with the color turquoise, and some turquoise candle holders.  In addition to turquoise, you can add accessories in the color aqua (which is a lighter version of turquoise) and other accessories in a dark turquoise color. Do not have an equal amount of each color visible in your room else your room might look overly styled and not natural.  For best results, select a certain color to be 60% of the color in your room, another color to be 30% of the color, and the 3rd color to be only 10% of the color in your room.   Mix and Match PatternsMaximalism is all about mixing and matching different patterns to create a one-of-a-kind look. Avoid mixing and matching patterns from the same store - select items from different stores so you don't end up with the same style as your neighbors. Don't be afraid to decorate using stripes with polka dots, florals with animal prints, and/or geometric shapes with abstract designs. When it comes to mixing patterns, there are a few key tips to keep in mind.... First, try to choose patterns that are a similar color which will help to tie the different patterns together and create a cohesive look. Second, mix patterns of different scales, such as a large-scale floral with a small-scale geometric print so the patterns don't try to compete with each other.   Use Texture to Add DepthMaximalism is not just about using a wide range of items with different color and pattern, it is also about using a mixture of textures. Rooms without much texture tend to feel sterile and boring, so feel free to add as much texture as you want. Some popular textural fabric include velvet, leather, wool, and fur. You can also use textured wallpapers, rugs, and/or pillows to add warmth to your room. Also consider addig some rough textures to contrast with your soft textures, such as wicker, exposed brick, and vintage hard back books with fabric or leather binding.   Mix and Match Furniture StylesMaximalism and eclectic furniture go hand in hand. Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles of furniture to create a space that's unique and full of your own personality & style. Consider pairing a vintage sofa with a modern coffee table or mixing mid-century modern chairs with a rustic dining table for a one-of-a-kind unique aesthetic. When mixing furniture styles, make sure to consider scale and proportion since your items should feel like you picked them exclusively for your home, not just thrown together hand-me-downs. Using an eclectic mix of furniture is a great way to ensure that your home does not look like your neighbor's and it is uniquely yours.       Don't Forget the ArtUse unique, collected, and/or bold pieces of art to add personality to your maximalist space and repeat your color scheme. Consider using oversized pieces of art to make a bold statement. You can also use a gallery wall, which is a collection of different pieces of smaller art that is hung together to create the feeling of one larger piece of art. Also consider using sculptures in your room, which are especially dramatic with an uplight. You can use basically any art piece that you love, but make sure that you love it and didn't just buy some generic piece of art to fill the space. Don't be afraid to mix and match different styles of art, as long as they create a cohesive look and feel. When hanging your art, make sure to consider the height at which you hang your art.  In general, the center of your art should be hung around eye level, which is typically around 60 inches from the floor.     Add Layers with AccessoriesThe use of many accessories is vital in maximalist design. Select accessories that repeat your room's color scheme and style to create cohesion.  Feel free to paint items that you already own but whose color doesn't quite suit your needs.  Metallic spray paint is a favorite for bringing new life to old accessories. Use accessories in a variety of textures and materials to create visual interest and depth. This can include different materials like wood, stone, metal, paper, and woven items. Include unique vintage and antique items of interest that not only look good but are a good conversation starter. Collect your home accessories over time, not just in one shopping trip to one store, to ensure that you find unique items that you love and not mass produced items that simply fill the space.   Use Unique LightingMaximalist spaces require maximalist lighting.  One light fixture in the center of your ceiling is not good enough!  You need to have multiple light sources for aesthetics and to be able to light your room according to the occasion. Consider upgrading your ceiling light to something more decorative or ignore it and only use it when you need maximum light while cleaning that room. Add unique light fixtures (such as chandeliers, wall sconces, and pendant lights) to add personality to your home. Beautiful colorful lamps or lamps that have a sculptural shape are a great unique addition to a maximalist space. For the best lighting in your home, consider adding each of the following....... Ambient lighting is the general lighting in the room, but it can also be decorative if you add a chandelier or pendant light as the main source of light. Task lighting is lighting directed towards an area where a certain task will be performed, such as a piano light for reading sheet music or a desk lamp. Accent lighting is lighting that accentuates an item of interest, such as an art light shining on a piece of art, an uplight in the pot of a tree, or light inside a china cabinet highlighting the gorgeous china.  

In our topsy-turvy, stressed-out world, true love may be the only thing we can count on. Looking for that special someone has become a priority for many.

Decorating with bright colors is a fantastic way to infuse your home with energy, personality, and vibrancy. If you find the colors beige, gray, white, and creme boring, you might want to decorate your home with bright and bold colors.  Consider your wardrobe when decorating your home.....do you wear khaki pants and a white shirt regularly, or do you dress in bright and bold colors? Do basic off-white colored walls make you feel comfortable and safe, or do they look extremely drab and boring to you? People are often intimidated when decorating because they are afraid to make a mistake or they want to play it safe for the next potential buyer of their home (even though they have no intention of selling anytime soon). Your home is yours, not the next owner, so make it what you want it to be (else you are basically renting your house from the next owner). Don't be afraid to do something different, even if it is not typical for your neighborhood.  People will appreciate your unique approach to interior design and they might be inspired to use bright and bold colors in their homes also. It's crucial to approach decorating with bright colors strategically to avoid overwhelming looking interiors. Here are a few interior design tips, tricks, and techniques for mastering the art of decorating with bright colors to create stunning and impactful interiors that reflect your unique style and personality..   Less is MoreWhen decorating with bright and bold colors in your home, select 3 different dominant colors per room that will be your color scheme, but be cautious of using more.  If you have more than 3 bright and bold colors in your room, it can start to feel like a circus and be overwhelming. Use the 3 colors in different proportions, such as your #1 color can be 50% of the dominant color in the room, your #2 color can be 35% of the dominant color in the room, and your #3 color can be 15% of the dominant color in the room. For a more interesting interior design, also consider using a lighter and darker version of each color to create more depth of color. Once you have 3 dominant colors in your room, consider adding 1 more color at a time as an experiment, but make sure you are willing to remove that extra color if the interior design is no longer what you desire. Skip Primary ColorsFor a more sophisticated look in your home, consider skipping the primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) and decorate with blended colors instead.  Decorating with exclusively primary colors in a home can often give the look of a preschool. Select color shades (a darker version of the color + black), tones (a more muted version of the color + gray), and tints (a lighter version of the color + white) for a more sophisticated color scheme. Opt for more unique colors, such as emerald green, rust, mustard yellow, deep purple, teal, turquoise, coral, fuchsia, saphire blue, burnt orange, lime green, aqua, and plum.   Add Some Neutrals for ContrastBalance is key when decorating with bright colors. Black, white, and gray help accentuate the bright and bold colors by creating contrast and keeping the  colors from being overly stimulating.  Avoid decorating with too many other neutrals that have a light brown undertone, such as beige and khaki, which may make the bright and bold colors look muddy. You can also decorate using colors that are almost black to help your bright and bold colors pop, such as dark navy or dark teal. By using neutral backgrounds for walls, floors, and larger furniture pieces, you can prevent the space from feeling overwhelming and allow bright colors to take center stage.   Natural ElementsTexture plays a crucial role in adding depth and visual interest to your decor, especially when working with bright colors. Add a few natural elements to your home decor for added texture and a touch of nature. You can add hardwood floors, a wicker basket, a bamboo tray, a rattan box, or a stone fireplace. Mix and match natural textures to add dimension and complexity to your decor, creating a visually engaging and dynamic space. Don't Overdo ItBright and bold colors are very powerful, so don't go overboard decorating with a million different colors, else your room might be overly stimulating and uncomfortable to spend time in.  Decorate with your powerful colors in moderation.  Think of how you want the room to feel in addition to how you want the room to look. Consider decorating with at least half of your room neutral and use bright and bold colors in the other half.  You can keep the ceiling white, the doors black or white, and the flooring stained wood or a neutral carpet or tile.   Keep Expensive Items NeutralThe bold and bright colors you love today may be the colors you hate tomorrow.  Consider using your colors on lesser expensive decor items that you can change out in a few years, such as wall paint, pillows, and accessories.  You can also use bright colors on dining chair seats (not backs) since they are relatively inexpensive to reupholster (you might even be able to do it yourself) and will probably be worn enough to need reupholstery in 5-10 years when you are ready for a color change. Keep your big ticket items, such as your sofa or dining table, a neutral color that will work with your next color scheme also. Not Too BusySince bold and bright colors demand so much attention, make sure the decor in the rest of your room is more subdued so your color choices can take center stage.  Consider keeping decorative accessories to a minimum to avoid clutter on surfaces, unless you love the maximalist style. If you choose to decorate with many bright and bold colors, then consider using minimal patterns and embellishments. If you use fewer bold colors, feel free to use multiple patterns for interest. Furniture should typically not be too ornate when using bold colors since the colors will be the star of the show.   Don't Forget LightingSince bold and bright colors can be darker than plain white, make sure the room is lit properly from multiple lighting sources.  You can use a fabulous chandelier, wall sconces, lamps, accent lighting, tast lighting, table lamps, floor lamps, and more. Dimmer switches are a great option for being able to adjust light levels to set the appropriate mood, yet be very bright for cleaning purposes. Also consider using mirrors since they bounce light around a room. Ensure that your light bulbs are all the same color temperature, which is marked as K on the back of the package.  The lower the number, the warmer (more yellow) the light.  The higher number, the cooler (more blue) the light.

If you love the glamour, elegance, and details of the Victorian style but also the collected and eclectic freedom of the bohemian style, then the Victorian Bohemian style might be for you. Here are a few designer tips and tricks for decorating in the Victorian Bohemian style.   Victorian Bohemian Style DefinedVictorian Bohemian style typically has Victorian style architecture paired with bohemian decor. This is not a firm rule, but it is typical with this style. You might also decide that all of your furniture should be in the Victorian style or that all of your artwork is in the Victorian style but your other decor is in the bohemian style. For a cohesive look, try to keep similar items in the same style. The bohemian accents paired with the Victorian style makes a Victorian home look less formal and stuffy.   Choose the Right Color PaletteVictorian Bohemian style colors use a mixture of dark, bold, & rich Victorian colors with bohemian earth tones and pops of color. Jewel Tones: Use reds, emerald greens, sapphire blues, and rich purples for Victorian style. Earthy Neutrals: Complement your jewel tone colors with earthy neutrals like warm browns and deep grays to add a bohemian element. Pops of Color: Add a few pops of color (such as fuchsia, mustard yellow, and turquoise) to add some bohemian fun to your space. Remember to use these colors strategically. You might use jewel-toned colors on your walls & upholstery while adding bohemian pops of color through accessories, artwork, and textiles. Mix Vintage, Antique, Contemporary, and Modern FurnitureVictorian Bohemian style often has an eclectic mix of furniture in both styles, however sometimes just in bohemian style if you choose to have only the architecture be Victorian. You can mix antique & vintage Victorian pieces with eclectic, collected, and unconventional Bohemian accents. You might choose to invest in classic antique Victorian furniture like ornate chairs, chaise lounges, and antique tables but layer in Bohemian-inspired accent furniture like colorful poufs, woven hammocks, and smaller wicker furniture. Another option is to keep all of the furniture in the bohemian style but add in some smaller Victorian accent pieces. Try to keep all similar items in the same style, such as all end tables either Victorian or bohemian.    Embrace Textiles and PatternsBoth the Victorian and bohemian styles are known for having an abundance of textiles. Since your home's architecture is most likely Victorian, your curtains should likely be in the Victorian style also.  Choose heavy and full curtains that add to the color scheme of the room, or you might opt for the bohemian route of being free spirited and not having curtains at all. To add bohemian style through textiles, add some fun eclectic patterned fabrics with patterned rugs, throw pillows, and tapestries Don't be afraid to mix patterns like paisley, floral, and geometric designs that add to the bohemian eclectic look. Decorate with Vintage and Eclectic AccessoriesVictorian Bohemian style can use both Victorian and bohemian accessories when decorating.  Here are a few decor ideas. Antique Mirrors: Vintage mirrors with ornate frames serve as both functional decor and statement pieces. Bohemian Art: Hang vibrant, Bohemian-style artwork on your walls to add fun color and personality to your home. Mismatched Dining Tableware: Mix and match antique china, glassware, and cutlery for an eclectic and unique dining tablescape. Botanicals: Add potted plants, a vase of fresh flowers, and/or hanging greenery for a natural touch and bohemian flair. Vintage Clocks and Lighting: Elegant vintage clocks and unique lighting fixtures contribute to the overall aesthetic in both a Victorian and bohemian way.   Create a Cozy and Eclectic AtmosphereVictorian style tends to be very formal, however bohemian style is much more casual and cozy. Make sure that your Victorian bohemian home has the cozy elements that most everyone loves.  Layer Rugs: Layer multiple rugs in different sizes and patterns to create a cozy, bohemian style. Cushions and Throw Pillows: Use a lot of throw pillows and cushions in your seating areas, mixing various textures and colors for an eclectic look.  You can even add pillows to your floor for extra seating. Create Cozy Nooks: Design cozy reading corners with comfy armchairs and reading lamps to create a cozy nook. Incorporate Vintage Finds: Hunt for unique vintage finds at flea markets and antique shops to add one-of-a-kind character to your space. Maintain a Sense of BalanceWhile Bohemian Victorian style is all about combining contrasting styles, it's essential to maintain a sense of balance in your decor. Make sure to regularly edit and rearrange your decor to prevent clutter and chaos. Just because your style is eclectic does not mean that anything goes. Ensure that your Victorian bohemian home reflects your style and your taste.  Add in items that appeal to you and get rid of items that are just taking up space. Avoid overcrowding your space with too much stuff. Give your furniture and decor room to breathe so your room does not feel overly messy and disorganized.   Make It CohesiveBohemian style uses a lot of mismatched stuff, so it is essential to find ways to make your design style look cohesive when paired with Victorian items.  Here are a few ways to create cohesion in your interior design: Color: Repeat your favorite colors multiple times throughout the room to make the color scheme look intentional and not thrown together.  You might want to find one or two items that contain several of the colors in your color scheme.  Consider selecting 3-5 colors in your color scheme and use each of the colors in your room in at least 3 different places. Materials: Repeat certain materials throughout your room, such as the same color stained wood on your floors and furniture or using wicker pieces or velvet fabric in several places. Prints: Repeat certain types of prints throughout your room to create a cohesive design, such as using similar floral patterns on curtains and pillows. Boundaries: You can create Victorian and Bohemian boundaries in your home to create cohesion, such as all architectural elements of the room will be Victorian while all of the furniture and furnishings will be Bohemian.
