Have you ever walked into a room and felt like it was giving you a giant, warm hug? That’s the magic of Bohemian Maximalism. It’s not just about “stuff”—it’s about stories, colors, and textures that make a house feel like a home.I’ve gathered ten stunning spaces that perfectly capture this vibe. Whether you’re a fan of desert neutrals or “more-is-more” rainbows, there is something here to spark your next home DIY project. Let’s take a tour through these dreamy corners!
1.Desert Solace
If you want your living room to feel like a permanent vacation in Sedona, this is your blueprint. What I love most about this space is the balance. You’ve got those crisp white walls and massive windows letting in all that gorgeous natural light, but the warmth comes from the terracotta tones and the wood-beamed ceiling.
The hero here is definitely the rug. That bold, geometric orange and black pattern grounds the whole room. Notice how the throw pillows aren’t a perfect match, but they all speak the same “language”? That’s the secret. Also, can we talk about the plants? Putting a large bird of paradise next to the window adds life without cluttering the floor. It’s airy, grounded, and looks like the perfect spot for a Sunday morning coffee.
2.Scandi Soul
This one feels a bit more “Scandi-Boho.” It’s a little more structured but still super cozy. That burnt orange velvet sofa is a total showstopper—it’s rich, inviting, and looks incredibly soft. Against the white-washed brick wall, it just pops!
The styling here is all about verticality. Using those raw wood floating shelves to display trailing plants and tiny framed sketches draws your eye up, making the ceiling feel higher. And if you’re looking for a low-budget way to add texture, look at that macramé wall hanging. It fills the empty space with something soft rather than something hard like a mirror or a metal clock. It’s a masterclass in “clean maximalism.”
3.Rattan Retreat
Is there anything more “Boho” than rattan? I don’t think so. This room is a texture lover’s dream. Between the woven coffee table, the sunburst mirror, and that oversized wicker lamp, there’s so much organic movement happening.
The gallery wall behind the sofa is genius because it uses a consistent wood frame for different types of art. It keeps the “busy” feeling under control. Pro-tip: if you have a vibrant sofa like this rust-colored one, try throwing in a single deep navy pillow. It’s on the opposite side of the color wheel, so it makes the orange look even richer. It’s a small detail that makes a huge impact.
4.Velvet Night
Okay, now we’re getting into the moody, jewel-toned vibes. This deep plum/burgundy velvet sofa is pure luxury. What makes this work—and keeps it from feeling too dark—is the interplay of light and metallics.
The gold sequined pillow and the copper lantern on the coffee table catch the sunlight and bounce it around the room. I also love the way the plants are hanging in macramé holders at different heights. It creates a “jungle” canopy effect that feels very private and tucked away. If you have a small apartment, using your ceiling for plants like this is a total game-changer for saving floor space.
5.Moroccan Glow
This isn’t just a room; it’s an atmosphere. This space leans heavily into traditional Moroccan architecture with those incredible stained-glass windows and the intricate wood-carved coffee table.
The lighting is the real star here. Those mosaic pendant lamps cast colorful, dancing shadows on the walls that look like art themselves. By keeping the seating low to the ground (the classic floor sofa style), the room feels much more intimate and conversational. It’s the ultimate “chill-out” zone. If you want to recreate this, focus on warmth: red silks, brass trays, and lots of candles.
6.Crimson Corner
This is for the person who isn’t afraid of color! That vibrant orange wall is a bold choice, but it works because it’s layered with so much life. The way the ivy is draped over the window frame and the hanging lantern makes it feel like an indoor garden.
The seating area is built right into the nook, layered with mismatched kilim pillows and purple velvets. It’s a very “clutter-core” aesthetic but in the best way possible. It feels like a place where poetry is written or long phone calls happen. Don’t be afraid to hang small rugs on the wall like they did here—it’s a great way to add insulation and art at the same time!
7.Fuchsia Fantasy
This room is high-energy and high-style. A hot pink/fuchsia velvet sectional is a bold move, but it’s balanced by the gallery wall that mixes traditional paintings with woven wall baskets.
The rug ties it all together by pulling in those pinks and blues. If you have a large wall to fill, follow this example: mix different mediums. Don’t just do frames. Add a large circular woven tray or a macramé piece to break up the rectangles. It feels curated, like someone has been collecting pieces from world travels over many years.
8.Pattern Play
This is the definition of “Maximalist.” Every inch is covered in pattern, and I am here for it! The sofa is essentially a patchwork quilt of colors, and the wall behind it is treated like a canvas for textile art.
The secret to making this many patterns work is a shared color palette. Even though the designs are different, they all share those deep reds, teals, and golds. The wooden shelf acting as a “plant ledge” above the sofa is a brilliant way to display pottery and greenery without taking up side-table space. It’s cozy, busy, and incredibly personal.
9.Rainbow Bright
This space feels so modern and fresh! It takes the maximalist idea and applies it to a very clean, white background. By using a white sofa and white walls, the owner allowed the rainbow of pillows and the gallery wall to really sing.
I love the “color-coded” bookshelf at the very top—it’s such a simple way to make a collection of books look like a deliberate design choice. The bright turquoise desk chair in the corner adds a punchy, mid-century modern twist to the otherwise boho vibe. It proves that you don’t have to stick to just one style; you can mix “clean” and “busy” and get something totally unique.
10.Earthy Texture
We’re ending on a serene, earthy note. This room is all about natural fibers: jute rugs, seagrass poufs, and a massive macramé chandelier.
The wooden daybed style sofa is great for small spaces because it feels less “heavy” than a traditional couch. The long wooden shelf holding trailing vines creates a beautiful “living” backdrop. If you’re nervous about too much color, this is the way to go—stick to wood, cream, and terracotta. It’s visually interesting because of the textures, not necessarily the bright colors.
