Bold maximalism

Ramp up the drama and energy in your home with décor devoted to every colour of the rainbow. From punchy pink to opulent orange, maximalism is all about turning the dial up in your colour, fabric and pattern choices. For 2022, the focus is very centered on saturated midtone colours – think magenta, cobalt and tangerine. Celebrate the trend in all its glory with furniture and walls in these resplendent shades, or fill a bookcase with technicolour joy, or a gallery wall with eye-catching prints for an edited take on the look.
