Maximalism or Minimalism?

For the past few seasons, two trends have been competing, and there doesn’t seem to be a clear winner. While aficionados of one swear by a very busy décor with accessories galore, for the others it’s all about understated spaces, materials and décor. One style really jumps out at you, winning you over with its extravagance, the other promotes calm and serenity.

So what’s the best choice? Maximalism and its motley collection of objects or minimalism and its simplicity? We’ve decided not to take sides. Everyone can choose their team to suit their lifestyle and taste.

For example.

# Opt for multiple bookcases and display cases to show off your accessories. Collect objects which all tell a story.
