Whether your dream home is a bold collection of prints and patterns or a simple canvas of serenity, this episode will teach you how to avoid messiness in maximalism and emptiness in minimalism.
If you’re a maximalist, Laura Jackson speaks to interior designer Meta Coleman. Meta shares her approach to layering, how to achieve a complimentary clash, and where to source furniture that achieves the chic, but more-is-more, vision.
But if you’re a minimalist, Laura chats with furniture designer Mimi Shodeinde. Mimi explains how to avoid creating cold and empty spaces, why she goes against the common philosophy of ‘practicality first’, and why, contrary to belief, ‘less is more’ isn’t the way to approach minimalism!
