Maximalism

"Less isn't more, more is more." Maximalism is an esthetic of excess. Maximalism in design is a style characterized by its abundance, opulence, and extravagance. Unlike minimalism, which emphasizes simplicity and restraint, maximalism embraces excess and ornamentation. It's a philosophy that celebrates the joy of collecting and the beauty of the eclectic.
