Purchased this poster without a frame and paired it with a slim gold frame
Purchased this poster without a frame and paired it with a slim gold frame, which really made the artwork stand out. Although shipping took longer than expected, the piece itself was absolutely beautiful.
I like Klimt's work, and this print is lovely. I appreciated that there was framing available, and that there was a nice choice of materials available. Very happy with the result
Maximalism isn't the absence of rules. It's the careful concealment of them. The walls that look like joyful chaos in design magazines are almost always built on invisible structure: a...
We’re serious about art, ask away
From sizing to framing and print quality, Fab's art experts break it all down—so you can find the right art for your space.
How do I combine clashing colors like red and orange or hot pink without the wall looking chaotic?
Clashing brights read as intentional when they share undertones and saturation, so pair a warm red with a warm tangerine or coral-leaning pink rather than putting a cool, blue-based pink next to a fiery orange. Choose two or three hues and repeat them across the pieces so the eye finds a rhythm, letting one dominate while the others act as accents. Structure calms the rest: a neutral or deep-toned wall, consistent frame finishes, and even spacing. A small cool note such as mint or teal keeps all that heat from feeling relentless.
Will bold prints work on walls that are already color-drenched or wallpapered?
Yes, and layering is exactly how maximalist rooms get their depth. On a color-drenched wall, pick prints that either share one shade with the paint or push a deliberate contrast, so the piece reads as a focal point instead of dissolving into the background. Over busy wallpaper, go bigger and bolder rather than smaller, since large scale and strong shapes hold their own against a repeating pattern. Generous negative space inside the image, or a framed edge, gives the eye a resting point and keeps the wall from feeling chaotic.
How many prints should I group together for a maximalist wall — is there a rule?
There is no strict rule, but the widely used guideline is to group in odd numbers: three, five, or seven pieces. Odd groupings keep the eye moving instead of settling into neat pairs, which is why they read as collected rather than showroom-styled. For a maximalist wall, start with one larger anchor print placed slightly off center, build outward, and keep gaps consistent at roughly 2 to 3 inches so the cluster reads as one composition. Salon-style walls can push to nine or more; grids are the exception where even counts work fine.
Is maximalism still on trend for 2026, or is it fading?
Maximalism is still very much on trend heading through 2026, not fading. A widely cited annual designer survey found maximalism the most requested aesthetic at 39 percent, with eclecticism close behind at 38 percent, and floral and botanical motifs the favorite pattern direction. Major 2026 forecasts echo that shift away from beige minimalism toward bold color, pattern mixing and theatrical drama. The tone has matured, though: think intentional layering of meaningful pieces, salon-style art groupings and rich shades like chocolate brown rather than clutter for its own sake.
How do I pick maximalist art prints as a gift when I don't know the person's exact taste?
Go for prints with rich color and layered detail rather than trying to guess a specific subject. Bold colorful wall art with botanical, architectural, or abstract pattern motifs tends to land well because it feels curated without being niche. A framed 40x50cm print is the sweet spot for gifts: it's statement enough to matter but doesn't overwhelm if they need to find the right wall. Our prints arrive ready to hang with solid wood framing and proper fitting, so the recipient doesn't have to deal with a trip to the framer.
Can I mix prints from this collection with art I already own?
Absolutely, and honestly maximalist wall decor only gets better when it clashes a little. The trick is to connect pieces through one shared element: a recurring color, a similar frame finish, or a consistent print size. If your existing art is warm-toned, pull in prints here that have at least a thread of ochre, terracotta, or red and let the subjects vary wildly. Our frames come in black, white, and natural wood, so matching your current setup is straightforward.
What size works best for creating a bold, maximalist look on a large blank wall?
For a single statement piece above a sofa or sideboard, go 70x100cm. It fills the space properly and lets the detail and color of eclectic art prints really sing. If you want a gallery wall instead, start with one 50x70cm print as an anchor and surround it with three or four smaller pieces (30x40cm or 40x50cm) in a loose, asymmetric arrangement. Maximalism rewards going bigger than you think you need to, so if you're torn between two sizes, size up.
Will these vibrant prints fade quickly in a sunny room?
No. Our framed prints use UV-protective acrylic glazing and museum-grade giclée inks rated to last hundreds of years, even in direct sunlight. So that south-facing living room with the big blank wall above the fireplace is exactly where vibrant art prints for walls should go. The matte paper and acrylic glaze also mean zero glare, which matters in bright rooms where glass-fronted frames can turn into mirrors.
How is maximalist style different from just having too much stuff on the walls?
Maximalist interior design is deliberate abundance. The difference is curation: choosing bold pattern art prints, layered color, and varied subjects that share some connective thread, whether that's palette, energy, or theme. A wall covered in random posters stuck up with putty is clutter. A wall covered in beautifully framed prints at different scales, hung with intention, is maximalism. The framing quality matters enormously here because cheap frames make a busy wall look chaotic, while solid wood frames with proper fitting give even the most eclectic arrangement a sense of cohesion.
