Maximalism is an approach to design that can be considered as the polar opposite of minimalism. The richness and vibrancy invites opportunities for embracing unique spaces that can truly reflect your personality. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, read on as DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of St. Louis Park shares tips on how to make maximalism work for your kitchen.
Choose Bold Backsplash Tiles
A straightforward way to inject maximalism into your kitchen is through bold, patterned backsplash tiles. Choose design elements that resonate with your personal style: Moroccan tiles, geometric patterns and colorful mosaic are among the most popular choices. Such tiles not only introduce an element of drama and personality into the space without overwhelming the kitchen’s overall look.
Open Shelving
Open kitchen shelving, instead of traditional kitchen cabinetry, offers the opportunity to display your eclectic mix of kitchenware, cookbooks and decorative items. It turns your shelves into a focal point of personalized décor that tells your story. Since your items will be on full display, it’s important to note that open shelves will require more frequent cleaning and upkeep — an important factor to consider when planning your kitchen renovation.
Mix and Match to Your Heart’s Content
The beauty of maximalism lies in its inherent rejection of uniformity. Combining different furniture styles and materials can give your kitchen a distinct character that’s wholly your own. You can incorporate vintage pieces, antiques and unique finds into your kitchen to create a space that matches your individuality.
Don’t Shy Away from Bold Colors
While minimalist kitchens often stick to neutral palettes, maximalism opens up a vast spectrum of color possibilities. We suggest embracing bold colors in all areas — on the walls, cabinetry or even the ceiling. A vivid kitchen environment can energize the space, making it more inviting and stimulating for cooking, dining and socializing.
Infuse Personality With Artwork and Decor
Art isn’t just for living rooms or galleries. Introduce artwork like original paintings, vintage food advertisements or custom pieces to your kitchen to add depth and character. This layer of personalization can help make your kitchen stand out while putting your style and taste in full display.
