Showcase Your Treasures with a Maximalist Design

The polar opposite of minimalist designs for a room is the now trending maximalist design. Not for the faint of heart, maximalist designs in homes combine bold colors, wild patterns and a variety of textures to make a gaze-worthy menagerie. At Jacobsen Brothers Painting, we can bring the painting expertise to make sure your walls, ceiling and floors are in the exact shades you want to create a whimsical, fantastic design. Let’s look at some of the basics of maximalist designs as you make your plans.

Enjoy Freedom with Colors

A maximalist design marries colors that are bold, saturated and often beyond the norm. Here, hot pinks courageously reside with oranges, blues, purples and yellows for an over-the-top riot of colors. If you love it, weave it into your design.

Break the Rules with Patterns

As if breaking the rules of matching colors isn’t enough, try breaking out of the box with a combination of patterns. A loud wallpaper and a contrasting floral sofa can actually look great together in this setting. A curated collection of patterned dishes doesn’t have to match the patterned tile floor, but they can complement each other. Factor in a few breathing places like a neutral, solid color floor or a neutral couch and chairs if you want to step up the sophistication.

Accent with Intriguing Textures

Here is where you can show off your stuff. If you have a basket collection, musical instruments, odd glassware, wood carvings or other accent pieces, find a way to display them in your maximalist design. Prized possessions belong in a maximalist design.

Your furniture choices are a great way to showcase a variety of textures. From shell-smooth end tables to hewn barn wood coffee tables to cool plastic chairs shaped like a hand, your furniture should spark interest and bring you happiness.

Repeat Colors in a Small Space

If you are going to maximize your bathroom, for example, staying with the same primary color will help keep it from feeling overpowering. Using patterned wallpaper for one wall in the color, and then the same color painted on the other three walls, will keep continuity.

A contrasting pattern in the tile adds interest and a plant or fern is always a great retro spa idea that adds texture. Show flare with your curtain, but it should still have the primary color in it.

Embrace the Pouf

The best part of the maximalist design is big, cushy couches or overstuffed pillows. Furry rugs also lend a lighthearted touch that tells visitors that this is a room in which to truly relax and be themselves.
