Forget poolside lounging and long, hot evenings. This is the season for cosy nights and dark maximalism
This season, Alice in Wonderland vibes are taking over home décor, but with a decidedly sophisticated twist. Dark maximalism is having a moment, making it clear that cosy nights in are the new going out. Think long evenings snuggling under a blanket, lost in a good book or enjoying a family movie marathon. And what’s more comforting on those chilly nights than a dimly lit room filled with rich textures like velvet or a patterned jacquard throw in deep jewel tones?
This trend isn’t just perfect for winter; it adds serious chic to your interior design all year round. Plus, it gives you tons of ways to get creative and personalise your space. Will you go full-on whimsical wonderland or create a moody, opulent escape?
Decorating in a dark maximalist style can be tricky, but Tatler is here to help. We’ve curated a selection of items to help you find just the right amount of maximalism for your home.
