Mini Maximalism

What is Mini Maximalism?

As the name suggests, this is a mix of minimalism and maximalism. But can that even work? In this trend, the concept of maximalism is indeed combined with minimalism. In practice, it means that maximalism is applied, but with a restrained approach. The lavish, "full" spaces we know from maximalism are left out. This trend is about creating rich environments without overwhelming them with an excess of accessories and elements that make the space feel cluttered and chaotic. The key here is: enjoy maximalism, but in moderation!

In short, if we were to describe this trend, it would be: use a calm color palette (minimalism) and complement it with luxurious fabrics and unique shapes. Examples include organic tabletops or a striking cushion set that you match with the soothing color palette.

Organized Chaos

As you can see, this trend requires some precision. You're mixing two extremes, and it's important to keep the balance in mind. You might give the impression that the space is busy and full, but if you look at your interior for more than a few seconds, you'll notice that careful thought has gone into the composition. For example, you might place artwork, books, and plants in prominent positions, but always consider the perfect placement and how they interact with other elements.

Make it Personal

This trend is perfect for personalizing your living space. Take on the role of designer and let personal items or preferences find their place in your new interior. For instance, you can use souvenirs, artwork, books, and other elements that reflect who you are to create the perfect Mini Maximalism. Again, you need to keep an eye on the overall look. An interior can quickly appear too crowded. Mix the personal items with the rest and, for instance, keep the same colors recurring to create some calm.

Visually Challenging

The challenge in creating Mini Maximalism is to walk the fine line without crossing it. Objects, colors, textures, furniture, materials — all of these can follow a specific line to define the trend. Experiment with your elements and search for the perfect combination. Give your new arrangement some time and make adjustments when necessary. Over time, you'll reach your perfect Mini Maximalism interior. Set yourself the goal of creating a unique interior. Because one thing is certain if you aim to follow this trend: no one in the Netherlands will have the same interior. It’s the perfect way to showcase your preferences and taste in something special!

Furniture Tip: Organic Shapes

We've seen for some time now that organic shapes are increasingly making their way into our interiors. A great example of this is the pebble shape. This was one of the first shapes to be appreciated and has now become a success in both living and dining rooms. We enjoy developing new shapes in our workshop from time to time. The best part? These shapes fit perfectly into a Mini Maximalism interior. Meet unique shapes like Abu, Dollop, and Leaf. For instance, you can fully customize your dining table using our 3D configurator. This configurator introduces you to all the organic shapes, and in no time, you’ll see if they suit you. Will you take the plunge by choosing both Mini Maximalism and organic shapes?
