Maximalist event design is about embracing abundance and curating a look that is extravagant yet intentional. A stunning foundation for this style starts with patterned and printed linens. Whether you’re drawn to the deep blue geometry of the Classic Blue Shibori Hex, the delicate leafy elegance of Beth’s Floral on Flax in Black, or the romantic vibrancy of the Pink Eloise Floral Linens. By mixing and matching different prints or pairing them with solid accents, you can craft a visually compelling setting that captivates guests from the moment they take their seat.

Don’t Be Afraid of Color

Maximalism thrives on fearless color combinations. Instead of sticking to a single color scheme, experiment with unexpected pairings. Jewel tones with pastels, earthy neutrals with bursts of citrus hues. Incorporate color throughout every aspect of the tablescape, from bold table linens to striking tableware. A Black Lacquered Charger offers a dramatic foundation, while the intricate Blue Floral Corsica china adds an element of classic beauty. The secret to success? Balancing contrast and cohesion to craft a tablescape that feels layered, artistic, and visually stunning.

Combining Textures

Texture is an essential element of maximalist design, adding depth and intrigue to the table. The beauty of this style lies in mixing diverse materials to create a setting that is visually and texturally rich. Luxurious velvet linens introduce a soft, opulent feel, while rattan chargers add an earthy, tactile contrast. Cut crystal glassware lends an air of refinement and sophistication, enhancing the overall tablescape with its delicate yet bold presence. 

Stack it Up

Layering is a simple way to build on a maximalist tablescape. Instead of a single plate, build a dynamic stack with chargers, dinner plates, salad plates, and dessert plates, creating a feast for the eyes. Thoughtful napkin placement can further elevate the setting. Drape it elegantly over the plate, fold it with precision, or top it with bold utensils for added interest. Beyond traditional tableware, consider adding escort cards, fresh florals, or decorative trinkets that serve as conversation starters.
