Maximalism

Maximalist lighting is all about embracing bold, statement pieces that add character and personality to a room. Forget subtlety, it’s about big, bold designs that bring drama and flair. Think oversized chandeliers, vibrant floor lamps, and table lamps with eclectic patterns and shapes. The idea is to create a lighting scheme that’s as much a work of art as it is functional, making your space feel full of life and creativity.

Mixing maximalist lighting with other décor styles is all about balance and confidence. Don’t be afraid to combine vibrant, patterned lights with more neutral or understated furniture. This contrast creates a playful, energetic vibe. You could pair an extravagant chandelier with a minimalist sofa, or a quirky table lamp with a vintage rug. The goal is to allow your lighting to stand out while complementing the other elements in the room. Trust your instincts, and let the lights become the stars of the show!

Absolutely! In a maximalist setting, mixing different types of lighting is encouraged. Combine standout pieces like a statement ceiling light with smaller, quirky lamps or neon lights to create an eclectic feel. Layering various light sources – such as pendant lights, floor lamps, and wall sconces – helps to add depth and dimension to the room, creating a vibrant, dynamic atmosphere. The more variety, the better – just make sure everything ties together in terms of colour or theme to avoid it feeling too chaotic.
