Best Maximalist Interior Designers on the AD PRO Directory

Grandeur is perhaps the best word for the feeling evoked by the interiors of Tim Hawkins, a designer based in Laguna Beach. (Hawkins’s portfolio includes some truly palatial homes.) With an educational background in fashion and color theory at Otis Parsons in Los Angeles and film at UCLA Film School, his know-how has inevitably informed the drama and the cinematic references in residences he designs today.

For this bedroom, Mr Alex Tate Design chose to match the detailed wallpaper print to the curtains and selected a chartreuse-colored bed frame.

A self-proclaimed maximalist at heart, design principal Alex Alonso of Mr Alex Tate Design embraces a global perspective and celebrates the power of storytelling through his spaces. Reflecting a distinct design approach that is all about mixing, the result is a bold sensibility he calls “modern American maximalism” and is typified by the use of fanciful prints, characterful sculptures, and eclectic objects galore.

Creative Tonic founder Courtnay Tartt Elias likes to layer saturated hues, richly appointed textiles, and personal narratives into the residential spaces she designs. Based in Houston, Texas, her studio is never afraid to shy away from combining geometric patterns, richly toned high-gloss millwork paint, metallics sheens, or varied floral motifs—all together with carefully chosen passementerie and other details.
