Minimalism, characterized by clean lines, neutral colours and clutter-free spaces has gained popularity among those seeking simplicity and mindfulness in their lives. Embracing minimalism can foster a sense of calm and focus amidst the chaos of modern life. With its emphasis on quality over quantity, minimalism encourages intentional consumption and thoughtful curation of belongings.


On the other hand, maximalism celebrates boldness, creativity, and self-expression. It's about embracing colour, pattern and texture with gusto, creating spaces that are rich in personality and visual interest. For many young adults, maximalism represents a rejection of societal norms and a celebration of individuality. It's about surrounding yourself with things that bring you joy, regardless of whether they adhere to minimalist principles.
