The flamboyant style is regarded as the fun-loving antidote to pared down seriousness of minimalism. Where <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/practice\/materials\/new-minimalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">minimalism<\/a> champions simplicity, order, comfort and harmony, maximalism rebuffs the status-quo and advocates for overstimulation, confusion, embellishment and bravery. Now, swirls of color and contrasting fabric are woven into the vibrant fabric of Ridley Scott&#8217;s latest film, <em>House of Gucci \u2014 <\/em>aptly described by <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/6122537\/lady-gaga-house-of-gucci\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Time<\/a> as a &#8220;rococo-a-go-go true-crime drama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Once reserved for elite exhibitions of wealth and stature, the excess of maximalism was traditionally seen as a showcase of abundance. In the movie, which profiles the almost unbelievable story of the fall of the Gucci family empire, this certainly holds true. However, while the film&#8217;s aesthetic of 1980&#8217;s excess relies on these traditional associations to bolster the dramatic plot, the maximalist costumes and set designs are also very much aimed to appeal to viewers in the 21st century. That is, the movie also taps into today&#8217;s design sensibilities \u2014 just think about the casting of Lady Gaga, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezoereport.com\/culture\/lady-gaga-house-of-gucci-press-tour-outfits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">maximalist fashion choices<\/a> have always been a part of her personal brand!<\/p>\n<p>Time brings change, and various iterations of maximalism have flourished in the past decades, culminating in the return of maximalism in the present day. While overcrowding is no longer key, layered textures, prints, colors and profiles have \u2014 much to our delight \u2014 become the fundamentals of successful maximalism. What is more, the aesthetic expression is no longer limited to one class strata \u2014 the statement of superabundance is less and less about showcasing one&#8217;s personal wealth and more and more about showcasing taste, personality, and, more simply, having fun with interior decor.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_101982\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101982\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-101982 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Baroque.jpeg?resize=1280%2C1217&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Baroque.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Baroque.jpeg?resize=300%2C285&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Baroque.jpeg?resize=1024%2C974&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Baroque.jpeg?resize=768%2C730&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Baroque.jpeg?resize=316%2C300&amp;ssl=1 316w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-101982\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Baroque Maximalism &#8211; St. Charles Church (1737) by Johann and Joseph Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, Vienna, Austria Photograph by Diego Delso via <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Iglesia_de_San_Carlos_Borromeo,_Viena,_Austria,_2020-01-31,_DD_49-51_HDR.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">As an interior design strategy, maximalism has reared its (not so ugly) head many times over the centuries. In modern times maximalism took a firm grip of creativity and craftsmanship during the Baroque period and led with confidence right on into the Georgian era. The ostentatious style was hugely popular with the Victorians, as its over embellished style was heavily influenced by the architecture of the Roman Empire and Ancient Egypt \u2014 both were idolized during that time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Throughout the Georgian period, French and Italian Rococo, Baroque and Regency Styles espoused aesthetics of excess, many of which remain as some of the most fabulous examples of interior design that we can still see today. The trend culminated its extensive run of popularity in the early 20th century, at the end of the Art Deco movement and the beginning of The Great Depression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s2\">Following a 200-year reign that was ended by the modernist era, maximalism has yet to be readopted as a mainstream design style. It would be fair to say that the proclivity for radical technicolor in the 1970s was about as close as we have ever been to a revival, with the 1980\u2019s floral overload coming in at a close second. Since then, however, minimalism has ruled supreme, honing and shaping the world of clean lines and muted palettes we see today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BuMJiCcnrlg\/<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">While maximalism may not yet be mainstream in today&#8217;s modern designs, it is certainly on the up and up \u2014 the exaggerated and experimental style found a comfortable home on the runway, and in the fast-paced, ever-changing industry of fashion, where bravery and audacity are revered. Maximalism has become a force to be reckoned with as many designers embrace the radical. None more so than maximalist deities Gucci. As the architects and designers of the world turned their backs on the bizarre, the bold luxury fashion brand Gucci jumped in with both feet and made maximalism its whole identity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Throughout its lurid, fantastical and fascinating history, Gucci championed the audacious in its designs and, while it was not always to everyone\u2019s taste, the fashion house&#8217;s determination to stay on brand seems to have reignited a fire in its cross-industry counterparts. With the appointment of long-term designer Alessandro Michele as Creative Director, the maximalist aesthetic kicked it up a notch. His impactful design strategy has successfully adorned the runway for almost seven years now, and \u2014 as it always does \u2014 the design industry has sat up and taken notice.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_101983\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-101983\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101983 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ho\u0302tel-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoi\u0302t-Linero857-copie.jpeg?resize=1200%2C920&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ho\u0302tel-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoi\u0302t-Linero857-copie.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ho\u0302tel-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoi\u0302t-Linero857-copie.jpeg?resize=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ho\u0302tel-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoi\u0302t-Linero857-copie.jpeg?resize=1024%2C785&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ho\u0302tel-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoi\u0302t-Linero857-copie.jpeg?resize=768%2C589&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ho\u0302tel-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoi\u0302t-Linero857-copie.jpeg?resize=66%2C50&amp;ssl=1 66w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ho\u0302tel-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoi\u0302t-Linero857-copie.jpeg?resize=391%2C300&amp;ssl=1 391w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-101983\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Ho\u0302tel Les Deux Gares by Luke Edward Hall, Paris France Photographs by Benoit Linero<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_102137\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102137\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-102137 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salle-de-sport-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoit-Linero-11-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1708&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salle-de-sport-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoit-Linero-11-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salle-de-sport-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoit-Linero-11-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salle-de-sport-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoit-Linero-11-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salle-de-sport-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoit-Linero-11-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salle-de-sport-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoit-Linero-11-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1025&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salle-de-sport-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoit-Linero-11-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1367&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Salle-de-sport-Les-Deux-Gares-Benoit-Linero-11-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-102137\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Ho\u0302tel Les Deux Gares by Luke Edward Hall, Paris France Photographs by Benoit Linero<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Much like its tale of old, maximalism has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/culture\/dept-of-design\/the-north-american-maximalism-of-gigi-hadid-and-drakes-home-design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">favored by the famous and fortunate<\/a>.

It is often a loosely curated collection of the random objects they\u2019ve amassed over a lifetime. Today maximalism is a physical, tangible story we can walk around and explore, it removes the need for rhyme and reason: &#8220;Simply because I liked it\u201d is enough explanation for any given print, color or object. At the end of the day, maximalist interiors are another opportunity to be brave and to show people who we are and to be confidently vulnerable with the spaces that we occupy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Coordination takes a backseat while color, pattern, shape and texture confidently clash to tell their tale. Perhaps by adopting this way of thinking, the wasteful cyclical design patterns of the past, striving to remain \u201con trend\u201d and \u201cfashionable\u201d will fall by the wayside, and the practice of overhauling possessions at regular intervals will cease. <\/span><span class=\"s2\">At the very least, the acceptance of maximalism will provide some freedom in knowing that the stuff you have already might actually be quite cool to keep around even if it doesn\u2019t match the wallpaper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>How can architecture be a force for good in our ever-changing world?
