Maximalist Interior
Maximalist living is all about colour, art, memories and confidence. This interior style feels rich, expressive and deeply personal, but it still needs cohesion. By deliberately repeating colours, shapes and materials, you can create a space that feels full without becoming cluttered. Everything gains meaning through composition.
Colour Palettes for a Maximalist Interior
In a maximalist interior, colour is the connecting layer between art, furniture, textiles and accessories. With these three palettes, you can choose a soft and personal, energetic and worldly, or dark and theatrical atmosphere. Repeating colours throughout the space creates cohesion, allowing a rich use of colour to still feel balanced and calm.
Soft, Colourful & Personal
Old White – Shabby Pink – Verdure Blue – Terra Cotta Pink
Old White creates a warm base that allows art, cushions and vintage vases to stand out beautifully. Shabby Pink adds softness and a nostalgic undertone. Verdure Blue brings a fresh contrast, while Terra Cotta Pink adds warmth. This palette remains friendly and inviting, while offering enough colour to bring a personal collection to life.
Bold, Energetic & Worldly
Goethe Yellow – Verdure Blue – Medici Red – Old White
Goethe Yellow brings optimism, light and creative energy into the space. Verdure Blue adds freshness and prevents the palette from becoming too warm. Medici Red introduces history, strength and depth. Old White provides breathing space, allowing art, cushions, vases and accessories to stand out without making the room feel crowded.
Bold, Artistic & Theatrical
Cornwall Black – Black Lily – Gold – Medici Red
Cornwall Black creates a strong architectural base for walls, furniture or a gallery wall. Black Lily introduces a deep, almost velvety purple tone. Gold adds light and refinement through frames, candlesticks or decorative details. Medici Red brings warmth and drama, making this palette rich, artistic and full of character.
Home Accessories for a Maximalist Interior
Accessories make a maximalist interior feel personal and layered. Think vintage vases, LED candles, cushions, art books, candlesticks, mirrors, ceramics, decorative objects and striking flowers. Do not simply add more things; create intentional groups. For example, combine a tall vase, a stack of books, an LED candle and a small decorative object. Repeat colours such as Goethe Yellow, Medici Red or Black Lily in several places, so the interior feels rich while still maintaining cohesion.
Ramanda’s Tip
Bring the Maximalist Style into Your Home
Maximalist living becomes exciting through the combination of different materials. Think matt Decoration Paint, glossy ceramics, velvet, linen, wood, glass, metal and rich fabrics.
Cushions can introduce colour, pattern and softness, while vintage vases add height and character. Use LED candles to warmly illuminate dark corners, gallery walls and sideboards. Work with several light sources instead of one bright lamp. This gives every collection, vase or art corner its own atmosphere and keeps the interior rich without making it feel heavy.
