Are you tired of the “sad beige” trend and ready to inject some serious soul into your space? You’ve come to the right place. Today, we’re diving into the wonderful world of Maximalism. Forget the rulebook that says “less is more.” In these homes, more is definitely more! We’re talking jewel-toned walls, velvet sofas, and gallery walls that tell a thousand stories. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite rooms to show you exactly how to mix patterns, textures, and vibrant hues without it feeling like a chaotic mess. Grab a coffee, and let’s take a tour through these stunning, personality-packed spaces!
1.Emerald Elegance
Can we just talk about this deep teal wall for a second? It is absolute mood goals. If you’re worried that dark colors make a room feel small, look at how that arched window just floods the space with light to balance it out. The velvet green sectional looks like the ultimate spot for a movie marathon, especially with those pops of burnt orange and mustard yellow. It’s cozy, sophisticated, and feels like a warm hug.
2.Golden Glow
I love the “split personality” of these walls! Mixing a moody teal with a sunny mustard yellow is such a bold move, and it totally works. The natural textures—like the woven pendant lights and that live-edge wood coffee table—really ground the room so the bright colors don’t feel overwhelming. And those floral armchairs? They add just the right amount of vintage charm to keep things interesting.
3.Regal Retreat
If you have crown molding this gorgeous, you have to show it off! This room feels a bit more “refined maximalist.” The soft sage green on the walls lets the teal chesterfield sofa really pop, and that bird artwork is a perfect focal point. It’s proof that you can have a room filled with interesting things—like that classic Eames-style chair and patterned floor cushions—while still feeling airy and elegant.
4.Funky Feelings
This space is all about the “Feelings”—literally! That graphic poster is such a great starting point for the room’s color palette. I’m obsessed with the mix of the shaggy geometric rug and the sleek teal sofa. It feels very “boutique hotel” but totally livable. The pink and orange accents bring a playful energy that makes you want to host a cocktail party immediately.
5.Gallery Glam
Now this is how you do a gallery wall. Mixing ornate gold frames with modern abstract prints and even a tiger? Yes, please! The mustard velvet sofa is the perfect “neutral” (if you can call it that) to sit beneath all that art. And check out that floral ottoman—it’s basically a piece of art itself. This room isn’t just a place to sit; it’s a curated collection of everything the owner loves.
6.Crimson Crisp
Maximalism doesn’t always have to be dark and moody. This room uses a neutral greige base but punches it up with high-contrast red and orange. The zebra-print chairs are such a fun, unexpected touch! It feels very “New York Apartment”—clean, sharp, but with enough bold texture in the rug and pillows to keep it from feeling cold.
7.Sunset Soul
Those sunset-inspired pillows and the trio of desert-themed art pieces give this room such a chill, Southwestern vibe. The cream sectional keeps things bright, allowing that massive, colorful geometric rug to do the heavy lifting. I also love the “bubble” chandelier; it adds a bit of mid-century modern flair that ties the whole eclectic look together.
8.Stripe Style
Can we give a standing ovation for that rainbow-striped wingback chair? It’s a total risk that paid off. By keeping the sofa a simple cream color, the owner was able to go wild with the rug, the pillows, and an incredible floor-to-ceiling display of floral art. It’s bright, cheerful, and full of life—exactly what a home should be.
9.Geometric Joy
This room is a masterclass in using a rug as the “fifth wall.” That vibrant, geometric shaggy rug is so loud and fun, yet it works perfectly with the calm cream sofa and the deep teal accent wall. The brass accents in the lighting and vases add a touch of luxury. It’s a perfect example of how you can mix different “vibes”—boho, modern, and glam—to create something totally unique.
