BOLD AND ECLECTIC

Everything: A Maximalist Style Guide

By Abigail Ahern

If your mantra is more is never enough, then British designer and retailer Abigail Ahern will be your guru. Her dark and moody London store is a magnet for cool girls craving earthy pottery, art and rustic textiles, but she knows navigating the maximalist look is not without its pitfalls. “Maximalist interiors need harmony and balance, otherwise they read like a hot mess,” says Abigail. Along with advice on creating vignettes and using lighting for ambience, she makes a case for dramatic, deep palettes that will convince you to embrace the dark side. Pavilion, 2020, $60.
