Interior design features a wonderful array of decorating styles to take inspiration from all year round.
In Brewers Decorator Centre’s latest article, the team explore vintage maximalism, a design style which celebrates the bold, the collected and the joyful. And, if you’re contemplating a new look and want to save this autumn, check out the link here to Get a Brewers DIY or Pro Trade Card.
What is vintage maximalism?
Vintage maximalism takes the key principles of maximalism and fuses this with a love for different design eras, perfect for those who can’t quite decide on a style that fully encapsulates their tastes.
Think bold colour choices, unexpected pattern and texture combinations, styled with an array of loved accessories that shows off your true individualism.
Experiment with mixing design elements from key historical eras, creating a truly unique space.

Vintage maximalist colour palettes
Bold colours work well with this style, embracing the vibrancy and joy from jewel tones.
If you’re new to the style and you’re not ready to commit to painting a whole space, introduce pops of colour through furniture or trim.
With high quality ingredients and rich pigments, Albany Paints will provide the ultimate colour depth that will stand the test of time.
Whether you’re looking for an optimistic yellow, a rich red or a warming earthy colour, Albany will be able to transform your space into a vintage maximalist haven.
If you have seen a fabric or wallpaper you would like to use within your scheme, the Albany colour match service can scan a sample to create a unique colour completely bespoke to you.
