Deconstructing the look

Here’s how a maximalist’s discerning eye knows exactly when, where and how to add pieces to upgrade your decor and design

The maximal aesthetic is a celebration of colours, patterns, textures, forms, shapes and much more, in a manner that exudes joy and opulence. When you intentionally bring together diverse styles, genres and materials in a space, it offers you infinite opportunities to employ the art and craft treasure from across the globe to evoke elevated decor. Especially in India, where we have such a rich heritage of arts and crafts, and generational artisans who are still adept at these ancient techniques. A careful curation of these elements yields timeless, one-of-a-kind environments that are a sensorial treat.
