"Maximalism is about embracing excess and celebrating individuality, creating spaces

that are a true reflection of the self."
- Maryanne Moodie

So, what exactly is eclectic maximalism, you ask?

Now, let's dive into the essential elements of eclectic maximalism and discover how you can infuse your home decor ideas with boldness and flair.

Embrace Colors with Gusto


In the world of eclectic maximalism, beige is considered a four-letter word, a BORE! Say goodbye to bland and hello to vibrant hues that command attention! Don't be afraid to mix and match bold colored home decor to create a dynamic and energetic atmosphere. From jewel tones like emerald green and sapphire blue to spicy shades like saffron and paprika, the possibilities are endless. Remember, color is your friend—embrace it with gusto for your home decor!

Play with Patterns for your Home Decor


Stripes, florals, chevrons, oh my! When it comes to patterns, more is more in the world of eclectic maximalism. Don't shy away from mixing different patterns and scales to add visual interest and depth to your home decor. Just remember to maintain a sense of balance by incorporating solid colors and neutral elements to anchor the look.

Layers Upon Layers of Textures


Texture is the secret sauce that takes your home decor from flat to fabulous. Think plush velvet sofas, chunky knit throws, sleek metallic accents, and rough-hewn wood finishes. By layering different textures of home decor throughout your space, you create a sensory-rich environment that begs to be touched and experienced.

Mix and Match Styles of Home Decor


Who says you have to stick to one design style? In the world of eclectic maximalism, the more diverse, the better! Mix and match home decor styles, eras, and influences to create a curated yet effortless look that's uniquely yours. Pair a mid-century modern sofa with a bohemian rug, or juxtapose sleek Scandinavian accents with eclectic Moroccan textiles. The key is to trust your instincts and let your creativity run wild for your home decor.
