An Ode to Bright Colours, Print-on-Print Interiors & Layered Textures

Step into the home of a maximalist and nothing is quiet, except the confidence.

It's a space where scarlet flirts with emerald, leopard print cosies up to chinoiserie, and every texture tells a story. Layered, loud, and unapologetically expressive, maximalism doesn’t ask for permission: it takes up space with aplomb.

Minimalism whispers, but maximalism speaks in technicolour.

Let’s get one thing clear: maximalism isn’t clutter - it’s curated intention.

Every object carries a memory. Every colour speaks its own story. Every print invites a second glance.

“More is more” isn’t about chaos - it’s about being bold.

Picture patterned tiles beside velvet walls, gilded ceilings above terrazzo floors, and daring contrasts that shouldn’t work - but somehow, effortlessly, do.

Print Layering Like a Pro

Sustainable flooring isn’t simply a trend — it’s the new standard. In Singapore and across Asia Pacific, the demand for formaldehyde-free, low-VOC, and recyclable options is surging. E0-grade boards, eco-labelled vinyl, and renewable picks like bamboo and cork are now top choices for health-conscious homes.

At Loreng Ng Designs, we curate vinyl and engineered timber flooring that pairs clean design with cleaner air — perfect for families, pets, and modern living.

Throw out the old “one hero, one neutral” rule.

Maximalism thrives on contrast and connection. Imagine ikat clashing beautifully with stripes, or toile layered over chevron. The secret? Play with scale, embrace contrast, and own it with confidence. 

Design Tip: Mix big, bold florals with tiny geometric patterns. Let a statement wallpaper find its perfect partner in a vibrant rug. Tie it all together by repeating a key colour for seamless harmony.

Think Calacatta sophistication without the cold touch or upkeep—ideal for bathrooms, pantries, and chic commercial spaces.


Layered Textures in Dialogue

Texture is the ultimate conversation starter.

Think velvet cushions layered over woven rugs, glossy metals meeting rough-hewn wood, and silk curtains brushing against embroidered throws. This rich interplay creates depth, warmth, and a tactile feast that pulls you in and leaves an impression that lingers.

At Loren Ng Designs, we don’t just decorate — we craft multisensory spaces where texture speaks as loudly as colour

Experiencing Colour Beyond Sight

Colour isn't something you add at the end — it’s where the story begins.

In maximalist designs, colour sets the emotional tone — deep emeralds ground a space with richness, while fiery oranges and bold fuchsias spark instant energy and warmth. A palette of cobalt blue, mustard yellow, and plum creates drama and depth, while soft lilac paired with chartreuse adds a fresh, playful twist.

Trending Palettes We Love:

  • Burnt Orange + Cobalt + Teal
  • Mustard + Lilac + Forest Green
  • Crimson + Citron + Deep Navy

Modern Maximalism, Asian Soul

We call it Heritage Chic with a Wild Side.

Across Asia, maximalism is experiencing a vibrant revival - where centuries-old traditions collide with fearless modern expression. Ornate patterns, ancestral motifs, and rich textures are reimagined through a bold, contemporary lens.

It’s not just design - it’s cultural storytelling turned all the way up. Think:

  • Batik cushions on terrazzo floors
  • Calligraphy art walls next to neon signs
  • Traditional Chinese ceramics in Pop Art displays
