Eclectic and Maximalist are the interior design styles that better suit extroverts. But why? And what are the differences between them?
ECLECTIC AND MAXIMALIST INTERIOR DESIGN STYLES
As the name suggests, eclectic interior design is an interior design style that is a cluster of design references and sources and that juxtaposes objects. For once, eclectic interior design finds the balance between midcentury modern furniture, the boldest contemporary art, and vintage patterns.
On the other hand, maximalist interior design style takes a more-is-more approach with layers of patterns and colors, oversized objects with unconventional shapes, and rooms where we spot design objects in every inch. For instance, maximalist interior design often decor ceilings with bold colors or patterns and showcases an array of eclectic homeware.
WHY DO ECLECTIC AND MAXIMALIST INTERIOR DESIGN BEST SUIT EXTROVERTS?
Eclectic and maximalist interior design styles are joyful and playful, and they depend on finely sourced objects, fun-looking, bold patterns, and an array of textures. Both interior design styles set a larger-than-life ambiance that not everyone can handle but extroverts, fierce people who feel at ease among intense colors and loud furniture pieces.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ECLECTIC AND MAXIMALIST INTERIOR DESIGN?
Both eclectic and maximalist interior design appreciate furniture and home accessories often invade the house with larger-than-life energy. However, eclectic interior design sticks to various design styles while maximalist interior design combines a variety of interior design styles – in a large quantity.
Even though maximalist interior design stands out for its quantity, this design style has a more robust color palette, being many times a bold monochrome with more edgy design appointments.
