How To Design A Maximalist Theme Based Home Interior

For most of our life, we reside within the walls of our home. So, even though your home is your comfort bubble, having to deal with the same interior for a long while can get pretty boring. Especially, the year 2020-21 has compelled us more than ever to stay indoors. And in situations like this, the best thing you can do is to revamp your home interiors and try out all those customized designs that you wanted to try out since forever. Interior designing is always more fun when experimented with. And thus, today we bring you a few pointers on one of the trendiest interior styles that have been doing rounds from quite a while now, maximalist interiors. This one’s a perfect mix of personalization and modern aesthetics. Let’s take a look at how you can adopt this unique and fun look for your home interiors.

01. Go Crazy and Big on the Walls

Maximalism is all about embracing art. With a plethora of options, starting right from the bold and beautiful accent walls to the large framed wall-sized framed paintings, accessorizing your walls are no more a difficult task. You can go for the popular gradient walls, wall motifs or even textured graphic walls. The following snap captures a rather unique French captioned wall art. If you like to go with the option “less is more”, you can try this kind of walls as well.

02. Using the Contrasting Pieces

The only rule to maximal styled interiors is that “there is no rule at all.” That in totality defines interior designing in general. But unlike the other styles and themes like rustic, country, vintage or earthy interior designs, maximalist interiors do not have any specified structure to it. That is mostly because this style is mostly a blend of all the defined styles altogether. Thus, you can totally go all out with the mix of variations in styles that you want in your interiors. In fact, contrasting and mismatched pieces sometimes can create beautiful combinations. The room captured in the frame below has little elements of country styled interiors, a few earthy tones and a lot of pop-art inspired designing. Now that’s a fun space!

03. Blending Out the Spaces

This simply suggests you blend in the various corners of your home into a common space. Suppose the dinning set up can be easily opened out to the lounging area. This trend is one of the currently popular concepts of a modern living room. The actual idea is to create a close-knit as well as a planned-out space. This practice makes it easier to incorporate miscellaneous styles into a single home space. In the following frame, we have a common kitchen and diner which opens out or rather leads up to a sitting area.

04. Bring on Some Bohemian Decors

Guess one interior theme that lets you get messy to your heart’s content? Bohemian interiors. The effortless chic aesthetic of the bohemian decors and furniture adds on to the home layout. Maximalist style home interiors require a great deal of layering of elements. It is important to make sure that the pace doesn’t get too much crowded in that process. Thus, as the bohemian pieces are pretty easy to naturally layer up, they make a great choice for maximalist home interiors.

05. Piling on Some Vintage Vibes

Modern vintage decors are one of the biggest inspirations for the maximalist interior style. Vintage in itself brings in an effortless and luxurious elegance to your home space. With the modern techniques, it’s very easy to get a faux vintage look for your abode. Another way to style vintage furniture or decor is to go with the bohemian vintage templates. This will give you a wide variety of options with decors like rugs, pillows, vases and even walls.

06. Your Energy Bubble

If you’re going into detailed maximalism, you need to keep a check on the tones and shades that you’re going for. The maximal styled home typically has big bright energy to them. Hence, bright colours, a blend of soft sweet pastel shades and patterns are a definite yes for the purpose. Try to avoid the gloomy or cool-toned greys, shabby nudes and non-matte blacks and browns. Wallpapers are a great pick, and the best way to go around if you want to design an accent wall.

07. Build Up The Layers

This one is mostly about revising and reconsidering the basics. And that includes the architecture, colours, build, spacings and most importantly the symmetry, material and even sizes of the décor and furniture. It is very important to pick the right fabrics, the right size of art pieces. Always try to assemble and build a mood board of what you want your rooms to portray. One more essential dynamic is to balance the lights in the space. Make sure to open up your spaces to the max limit.

08. Let’s Discuss Colors

When it comes to maximalism, matte is the way to go. Dark matte walls with a pop of accent in decors or white vintage walls with contrasting furniture are the vibe that a maximalist interior usually channels. Materials like velvet and linen are great picks for furniture fabrics. Whereas, for walls, vintage tattered looks, crazy motifs or rather simple matte shades are some good picks. There isn’t any hard and fast rule as to exactly how you should go with the colours. But we suggest you keep it bright and popping.

09. No Compromising on Comfort

Even though maximalist interiors are a bit elaborative on the detailing, they have a very cosy touch to them. Elements like rugs, pillows, cots are common elements of maximalist home interiors. Especially with the ever-evolving ideas of living rooms, sitting areas now are more so laid back than ever. For example, in the snap below we have a beautifully arranged living space. That grounded sofa loaded with a pile of pillows and the subtle accent wall perfectly ties up the dreamy aesthetic of the space. To top it all off, there’s even a little rattan lamp hanging on.

10. Personalization Over Perfection

This one’s as self-explanatory as it gets. Do not try to incorporate styles and items that you’re personally not a fan of. Maximalist interior style mainly aims to motivate you to create a niche for your own self with your very own favourite picks. Use this creative liberty to bring a personal touch to space. Look for inspirations, there are plenty around. As we said, it’s more about what you love than the overview itself.

Now, that was all about a little glimpse into some maximal themed interior designs. Hopefully, this helped you to pick a trick or two on how to go on and about it. Make sure to let us know of your doubts and concerns regarding the same. And have fun designing.

How to Design an Elegant All Grey Modern Home Interior

For an interior design theme that demands sophistication, a grey shade is a fine place to start. And that is exactly what we will be discussing today. Grey is one of the most elegant shade in the palette of home interior colours. It is also extremely easy to work with and blends in beautifully. This is mostly because grey exists in a wide range and with all kinds of undertones. So, today we are going to take a peek into how to incorporate the greys into your modern home interiors. In this article, we are going to cover the concept of creativity on the basis of the different rooms of a home. So, let’s get started.

A Minimalist Bedroom

In the case of bedrooms, it’s always to go for a muted vibe. Light shaded and airy bedrooms are more comfortable than the ones with busy interior designs. A combination of white and a warm-toned grey would be a perfect pick for a minimalist yet modern bedroom. There are a variety of ways to blend these shades into the elements of the room. You should start with white as your base canvas and then accessorize the room with grey decors. For example, you can do a grey accented bedding with complementary side table lamps. Then add on some very light-toned grey linen textured curtains. Want more of that grey? Top it off with a feature wall.

The Edgy Bathroom

If you love clean lines, structured and sleek bathrooms, you should consider the shade grey. Starting right from the tiles to the walls, any dark-toned cool grey will bring a stellar look to your bathroom. In contrast, you can go for white installations including bathtub, showers, mirrors, sinks and such. Try to keep your organizers and cabinets in dark shades too, as that will be easier to maintain. If you prefer a little less polish to your bathroom, you can opt for textured marbles as well. The following snap captures a modern and sleek bathroom with an extremely clean aesthetic.

A Very Chic Living Room

An all-grey palette doesn’t have to be all so boring. Especially, a lively place as your living room deserves more colours. And with a little balanced combination of shades, you can carve out your perfect living room space. For a more welcoming vibe, we suggest you go for the warm-toned greys as a base. Then play around with the other vibrant warm colours to bring in some fun into space. For example, you can decide on an item of grey centrepiece furniture and then layer on that with the colourful pillows or rugs. You can also go for a framed painting with complementary shades in your room. White is always a great canvas to the greys and also helps in opening up space.

The Ultimate Modular Kitchen

The best combination of shades to swear by, when it comes to kitchens are the greys, whites and blacks. Try out a modular cabinet section with mixed toned greys with a fully textured marble counter slab in the centre. Add some sleek hanging lamps around the counter tool to add some soft elegance.

Allowing grey into your kitchen space makes it easy for you to balance the overall aesthetics of the space. For example, most of the tools and gadgets installed in a kitchen come in varying shades of steel and thus will easily blend into the greys of your interior designs. The same goes for your dining area. Keep it simple with a basic grey dining table, preferably in any dark shade of grey. And then add the chairs in two shades lighter than that of the table.

A Laid-Back Workspace

Everyone needs their own particular corner in a home where they can get their work done without a hinge. Now you wouldn’t want that personalized study of yours to look too busy or loud; would you? Exactly. And that’s why we suggest you to use colours such as whites, greys or soft pastel shades to create your room. These colours are extremely relaxing and will do nothing to draw in particular attention.

You can also opt for the combination of woods and greys to keep a little earthy element going on. A grey two-seater sofa with a little table or an organized desk chair set or both altogether will be a great addition to your comforting crib. Try a few potted plants to bring in some freshness into space.

And that was all about the greys in interior designing. We picked a colour, in particular, to talk about, because of how easily this shade can elevate the aesthetics of a room. Nonetheless, there are always cons to the pros. One important thing to keep in mind would be the tones. We would suggest that you go through the combination of both warm and cool tones of greys before you decide on your palette. Also, too much of greys can easily make your place look dull. In that case, try balancing out with whites. The trick with the grey coloured interior designing is that you need to keep the greys a little muted than the rest of the shades. So, now that you have it all noted down, have fun designing.

How to Design a Perfect Colour Palette for Your Home Interior

Crafting and designing a home can be both exciting and tedious at the same time. Most of the time, the one exhausting task that weights and looms heavy on our mind are deciding on the colour palettes and designs on the interior walls. Walls are undoubtedly a deal-breaker when it comes to the domain of interior designing. And that is exactly why one needs to put extra time and effort on the colour scheme and designs of the home interior. This process involves a little patience and strategic planning.

One of the major risks involved with the paints and colour schemes is that they can turn out completely different from the idea or design that you originally anticipated. This can happen due to a bunch of reasons. Starting right from picking your colour palette and deciding on the gradients to the actual process of execution. Thus, in today’s page, we break down five easy steps on how to proceed with the colour schemes and styles for your interior designing. We promise to keep it very simple and minimal for you as most of these steps involve the thoughts and mapping. So, let us get started.

01. Building an Inspiration Board

Your home should essentially reflect what you love. So, if you are starting from scratch, then we suggest following the lead of your inspiration. Create a collective board of all the home interior walls that appeals to your taste. For starters, you can look for inspirations from interior designing websites, paint companies, Pinterest or even Instagram. These pages should confirm your taste of colours and help you on locking the style, colours and vibe that you want for your home interior. Once you have figured out the base colours, it’ll get a lot easier to play with the designs as per the styles that fit your space. This is an organized way to start planning the perfect shades for your crib.

02. Balancing the Shades

Your entire home aesthetics has a lot to do with the balance in the elements of the room, colours being one of the most dominating factors. The safest way to ace the colour schemes of your interior walls is to settle on a neutral base and then creatively build on that. Neutrals, nudes and pastels necessarily do not have to be boring. You can simply opt for the contrasting colours to the base one as a décor feature, an art wall or even a gradient wall. Instead of going for plenty of colours, we suggest you play around with multiple shades and tone of two to three colours in total. This way, you can create a fun and beautiful space, while also maintaining the central theme of your home interior.

03. Finding the Undertones

This one is just one of the stuff that we simply overlook or are usually less acquainted with. The undertones to your colour palette silently affect the combination of the shades. Undertones are the underlying colours to the primary colours that you’ve picked. Every shade of colours can be categorized under warm and cool tones. For example, a soft peach blush shade having a strong orange undertone will fall into the category of warm tone. And a flushed pink shade will make it to the cool tones. It is advisable to not blend in the colours of both tones into the same palette. And the only way to make sure of that is to get some sampling done. We will discuss that briefly in the next pointer. The following snap represents a cool-toned yet pastel-painted room.

04. Sampling the Paints

This is one of the most essential things to be done before you start painting your home interior on the main scale. This one particular step will save you all the exhaustions and disappointments of messing up the colour schemes. Sampling the colours and shades will give you a very precise and definite idea of how much amount of paint you might need and thus prevent wastage. Through sampling, you’ll also get a better idea of how the colours will exactly look when painted on. Thus, you should never miss out on this particular step to avoid a colour blunder.

05. Go Big and Bold

Big colour patterns and patchy painted wall motifs are every interior designer’s living nightmare. So, we definitely don’t want to end up on that. But at the same time, it also doesn’t mean that you should not try creative interior arts to spruce up your otherwise basic walls. And in that case, all you need to do is just get some simple planning done. As we have already covered the four primary essentials, finding a theme, settling on a base finding the undertones and sampling them, now let us discuss on how creative you can get with your walls.

Feature walls are one of the trendiest interior walls designs as of now and fit perfectly into almost all kinds of home interior. They do not only work great with funky and vibrant colours but, can also be created with pastel and both cool and warm shades. For a little more colour inclusion in your room, you can try on a gradient wall as well. These walls exude an extremely dreamy aesthetic in your room.

And that in totality will hopefully conclude your quest for the colour pickups for your abode. However, there are a few more things that you should take care of, one of them being colour flow. While painting your home, you should keep in mind to keep the ongoing style or theme of your home intact. Maintaining a colour flow throughout the house is very important for this purpose. Extremely diverse shades or wide colour range can make your interior design look tacky. So, make sure to transition smoothly into the shades and keep the colour range small and tasteful. Last but not the least, do not rush into this as colours and painting are tasks of patience. And hence, create your crib with passion and love for within. All the best with your painting project.
