Welcome to the 'more is more' world of decorating, or as it's more commonly know in the business, Maximalism.

A style that embraces the all-out: beautiful colour palettes, luxurious textiles, patterns and embellishment. Maximalism is the epitome of passion, one in which Scandi-style, stripped bare and pared-back interiors have no place. Abigail Ahern guides us through the sea change in the world of interiors as the pendulum swings away from minimalism, over to our increasing desire for self-expression and optimism. Learn how to break the 'rules' of interior design, play fast and loose with different periods in a single room and have fun. Maximalism allows you to dip into colour palettes and any decade or style, with the effect of stirring up emotions and creating a bedazzling space you'd never want to leave.

Chapters include:
Developing a Sense of Style: Research tips and how to begin, from trawling Instagram and tearing sheets from magazine.
Expressing Yourself: Learning which rules to forget and which guidelines you would do best to remember to make your decorating foolproof.
All-Important Accessories: Learn to create a story whereby every object in the room supports the same vision.
Identifying Your Palette: Experiment with thinking outside the box and be curious with colour – what matters most is not the colour but the tone.
Creating a Sense of Home: All homes should have a soul and you should be the mixologist, taking risks and mixing up furniture styles with aplomb.
Creating Ambience with Lighting: Lighting is key and enables you to set a mood that is instantly tangible and has a direct impact on mood and energy.
Styling Your Space: The secret ingredient to making a maximalist home work, and not feeling like a cluttered mess.
Challenge the Norm: Harness beauty and oddity, sensuous and the macabre, to create a decorative melting pot where elements vibrate with energy.
Little Black Book: Take a peek inside Abigail's little black book where we find the best global decor stores not to be missed.

This was a gift from my husband who knows me so well. We’re both bohemians, the edges of this book are metallic emerald green and absolutely stunning. I haven’t finished reading it yet but so far I am enjoying it. This would make a beautiful coffee table book. I’m a sucker for the edges of the pages being beautiful.

This book reassured me that I have always been on the right path to creative living and designing. A feast of ideas and fun. Gives one permission to simply enjoy ones collecting and design choices. A path to relaxation in choosing design elements that may not be the norm. Basically, how to have fun with and embrace your unique stylistic choices. A joy of a book!

In the era of minimalism and Kondo-ism and giving things away, I've always felt a little guilty about all of the things I have. I love them and certainly don't want to get rid of them. Reading this book has made me feel much better about my lovely things and has helped to display them better.

This book is lovely. It has a lot of great ideas and inspirations - Ahern has such great style. It's nice to also hear her voice and understand how/why she makes certain choices. It has really encouraged me to 'clean out' and embrace my maximalist self but without looking like a crazy hoarder. I look forward to many hours sipping pink wine and thumbing through this gorgeous (green metallic edging?!! yesss) tome.

There are so many books on minimalism that when you think about it, it doesn't make sense. This book is refreshing and embraces the idea that your home is your home and it should reflect your individuality. The pictures are quite lovely. Even the book itself is quite nice to look at on your coffee table with its shiny green paper edging. I hope this author writes more!

I've only had this book a couple of days and am already really loving it. The photos are inspirational, but the text has such great ideas. How to have an eclectic house that doesn't look like a junk shop is my ideal home, and this book is helping me refine my ideas and collections to achieve this. Love It!
