"The opposite of sparse, maximalism turns up the dial of color, pattern, and texture to an 11. Consider this aesthetic an over-the-top playground where all elements work together to create a true sensory experience. You'll find no matching furniture sets or white sofas here. Tap a sweet striped slipper chair by Pierce and Ward or the HAY Chisel Lounge chair in a minty green. For the ultimate statement piece, it doesn't get more maximalist than the Vitra Wiggle."
"The cottagecore aesthetic has been done in every way possible-English, farmhouse, rustic, and even industrial-but that's also why we love it. The versatile design style can be reinterpreted to suit your home. Pick and choose the elements you love and leave the rest. Utilitarian fixtures combine with plus upholstery, handmade textiles, and accents you could only find in a thrift market."
Maximalism turns up color, pattern, and texture to an 11, creating an over-the-top, sensory-rich interior where elements clash and collaborate rather than match. Matching furniture sets and white sofas are absent; playful pieces like striped slipper chairs, minty HAY Chisel Lounge chairs, and the Vitra Wiggle serve as bold focal points. Cottagecore adapts across English, farmhouse, rustic, and industrial interpretations, favoring utilitarian fixtures, plush upholstery, handmade textiles, and thrifted accents. The style values cobbled-together, thoughtfully layered coziness for timeless appeal. Slipcovered sofas such as the York from Pottery Barn or Sienna Miller–style country pieces deliver the coziest seating.
