With the onset of the 2020s, Gen Z is noticeably claiming their place in the world with bold perspectives and even bolder aesthetics. Gen Z proudly experiments with their identities, having grown up on an opinionated internet and through confusing lockdowns. They're bringing in a culture shift with organic shapes, colorful elements, and clashing patterns dominating art, media, fashion, and interior design. The trend is pushing away once-reigning minimalism, shouting Venturi's Less is a Bore.
A raucous design theme leaps over social media algorithms, collecting a growing following. Its features mark the resurrection of a recurring trend - maximalism. As the name suggests, maximalism is all about maximizing everything from shades and textures to materials and forms. In interior design, it manifests as a hyper-personal space that bursts with visual stimulation. Ms. Pink of Quirk & Rescue duly reflects the maximalist mindset by saying "You can never have too much of a good thing".
