We've talked about techniques in styling minimalist interiors, but let's not neglect the fun, color-popping, storytelling qualities of MAXIMALIST design! Since our selection boasts the widest array of products, sizes and options, it's a creative experience to curate your displays with a more-is-more philosophy. So don't be afraid to go bold, because your prints can beautifully become part of an eclectic mix of patterns, textures and objects within a room. Here are some tips to get you started...
Mix Your Metals
There can be a method to your metal madness! MetalPrints and Metal Frames provide a wide playing field with lots of options while delivering a cohesive grouping. With our Gold, Metal and Rose Gold treatments available in Bay ROES, your images will unveil the same sheer aluminum grain as the metal frame mouldings. This is a great way to add unique pops of color to your arrangement while tying the overall display together. Add Stainless Posts to your MetalPrints for even more Metal flare!

Go with the Grain (All of It)
Just like Metals, your Wood Frames can beautifully mis-match in moulding type, too! When you add different grains to the collection, each unique piece becomes part of a beautifully eclectic mix. We love the way various wood textures and colors compliment each other, and that's the key to building a gorgeous maximalist gallery wall. Most of our frame mouldings are made from sustainably farmed solid wood, but there are a few that stand out with distinguished wooden styles of their own...

Antique and Modern Chic
Isn't it beautiful when opposites attract to complete each other in perfect harmony? A quick way toward maximalist style is to pair traditional accents with more modern decor. Our Museum Classic Frames are historically accurate, gold leafed frames that will instantly give your images an elevated antique look (available with Fine Art Canvas or Photographic Canvas Board). The centuries-old Florentine and Americana corner styles are the finishing touches that take the viewer back in time. Choose our Mid-Century Modern Frames for clean, smooth lines and sharp bevels to bring a beautiful contrast to the Museum Classics. Available with MetalPrints, Fine Art Prints, Photographic Prints or Epic Prints.

Art is Everything
And by everything, we mean your photography, drawings, paintings, collages, typeface designs, travel artifacts, collectibles, and so on and so forth! Your art is an expression of who you are, so let your space reflect it. Your guests will enjoy the eye candy, and you'll be able to tell your multi-faceted story.
