Trending | New England Maximalism

Rooted in the joyful folkiness of early Americana, a new trend is emerging—New England Maximalism.

With a touch of Bloomsbury charm, it blends traditional New England craftsmanship with a vibrant, modern sensibility. As Architectural Digest puts it, “upbeat patterns, bold hues, and sly shapes put some pep and prep in your step.” Below is a roundup of works inspired by this colorful, nostalgic aesthetic.
