How to create the trendy maximalist home of your dreams in 2022

Unicorn Dips His Horn Tapestry

You might recognize this as a reimagined version of one of the grand tapestries on display at The Met Cloisters museum in New York City, but now you can have a similarly spectacular piece in your own home!

Maximalism is all about creating interesting, eclectic scenes that spark conversation and bring a sense of wonder to your home. Wall art like this achieves it through calling back to the original, as well as telling a story in the intricate scene played out brilliantly in the hand-finished scene where the star mythical creature dips his horn into the stream of a magic fountain. It’s surreal and whimsical, and it will act as the perfect centerpiece to your growing gallery wall.

Glass Heart Decanters | Red

It’s hard to be a maximalist without a strong sense of romanticism, and these heart decanters display that with a handcrafted delicacy that looks and feels expensive. They come in three sizes and can hold anything from your fanciest beverage to a single rose.

These decanters also bring to mind a favorite movie ours, The Love Witch. Watch it now on Amazon Prime for decorating inspiration beyond your wildest dreams!

We’re equally enamored with Carme Home’s Raspberry Dressing Table, as well as their selection of Hollywood mirrors. Click through to see what else the UK-based company has to offer!
