Layered Textures & Fabrics
Texture plays a crucial role in maximalist design. The use of luxurious and tactile fabrics is key to creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Velvet, silk, and chenille are often used to create sumptuous upholstery, while layers of rugs, throws, and pillows add depth and warmth to the space.
