How to Style a Maximalist Shelf in 3 Steps -->

If you believe more is more, welcome to the club. A maximalist shelf is your chance to show off all the weird, wonderful, and whimsical bits you’ve collected. Here's how to make it look curated rather than cluttered:

1. Mix Materials & Heights: Combine brass with ceramic, plush with wood. Vary heights to draw the eye up and down.
2. Group Odd Numbers: Cluster objects in threes or fives for a naturally pleasing arrangement.
3. Tell a Story: Include items that reflect your personality—souvenirs, gifts, handmade crafts. It’s your shelf, make it sing.
