Why Maximalist works for your open plan
A open plan is primarily about combined living, dining, and often kitchen space. Maximalist brings bold colour & pattern mixing to this space, creating an environment that feels spacious, connected, and harmonious. The style's emphasis on curated collections & gallery walls pairs naturally with the open plan's need for zoned lighting. When it comes to durability, Maximalist works here because open plan surfaces need mixed — kitchen-adjacent areas need higher durability than the lounge zone resistance, and the style's material palette accommodates that.
