Minimalism had its moment, with its Japandi sensibilities and soothing neutral tones. But now, the tides are shifting. The interior world is witnessing a bold resurgence—Maximalism is back, and it’s more lavish, layered, and luxurious than ever.
Maximalism is no longer just an aesthetic choice; it’s a statement. It’s about indulging in richness, embracing patterns, textures, and deep hues, and curating a space that speaks of personality, heritage, and storytelling. The fashion world has long embraced this ethos, with designers like Sabyasachi, Rahul Mishra, and Gaurav Gupta crafting opulent, detail-rich designs that celebrate grandeur. This philosophy is now reviving itself within interiors, where more is more, and excess is exquisite.
Client’s are leaning into interiors that feel expressive, deeply personal, and visually striking. The trend is shifting towards spaces that have a little more meaning to them whether it be history, art, or culture. Here’s some ways we are seeing the trend come back to life:
- Rich Detailing: Think metallic accents, intricate mouldings and bold statement furniture.Â
- Deep, Saturated Colors: Jewel tones are making a comeback, adding depth and drama to interiors.
- Pattern Play: From textured and printed wallpapers to upholstery with unique silhouettes, mixing prints and textures is a hallmark of maximalist design.
- Layered Decor & Textiles: Using objects to create depth and textiles in rich fabrics to create drama.
Luxury fashion houses and celebrated designers have long mastered the art of storytelling through fabric, embroidery, and embellishments. This same storytelling is now shaping interior design trends. Sabyasachi’s grandeur in bridal couture, with its rich textiles and heritage-inspired motifs, mirrors the return of vintage decor, heavy brocades, and antique-inspired wallpapers in homes. Sabyasachi has also collaborated with Asian Paints, introducing interior prints that embrace maximalism, moving beyond single-tone palettes to include signature patterns and motifs that add regalness to any space.
As we re-embrace richness and depth in design, maximalism is no longer just a passing trend—it’s made its comeback.
