Whether you’re a seasoned decorator or new to maximalism, these ideas will inspire you to turn your living room into a colorful work of art.
Here, I’ll show you some bold and beautiful designs to help you create the perfect maximalist living room for your home. I’ve even included some maximalist small apartment ideas too!
Maximalist Living Room Design Trends for 2025: 12 Bold and Beautiful Ideas
1. Maximalist living room walls
To create a bold, maximalist living room, your walls can really help you out by acting as a focal point.
Start by choosing vibrant colors—consider alternating walls with colors like blue, orange, and pink to give the space an energetic vibe.
If you want to go even bolder, try painting colorful murals or abstract designs. Don’t be afraid to mix in pops of yellow for a striking contrast.
Next, enhance the walls with unique art pieces, such as framed eclectic art or oversized statement mirrors.
Creating maximalist living room walls from prints
You can also create maximalist walls using your favorite photos, prints, and art works.
The key is to select prints in different sizes and pre-plan where to hang them to get your desired look. Hanging a large collection of prints together can require some careful forethought and planning; kind of like a game of tetris.
If you’re renting your home or apartment and can’t do anything permanent with the walls, you can easily recreate this. Just use command/adhesive hooks so that everything stays damage-free and is removeable.
2. French country maximalist living room
If you love a vintage-inspired French country look for your living room, but you want to do something different with more of an impact than your every day look, definitely consider French country maximalism.
First, you’ll want to choose a color scheme. Here we see how vintage elements are pulled into a green and cream color scheme for a beautiful and eclectic result.
You can add a modern coffee table for an unexpected pop.
Pick two or three shades and stick to the palette. You can mix and match shapes, hues, patterns, and textures, but staying within the color scheme will make your room feel effortlessly cohesive in the end.
I’m obsessed with the wallpaper of this room – it adds a dramatic effect that’s somehow peaceful. If you go the wallpaper route, it looks especially great if you have high ceilings and arched doorways you can include. Dramatic wallpaper can really make a living room look maximalist!
3. Boho maximalist living room
Boho and maximalist don’t usually go together, but I love the outcome!
You can create a cozy, boho maximalist living room by layering bold textiles and rich earth tones.
Start with a large Moroccan rug in deep reds, oranges, and browns to ground the space. Add throw pillows and cushions in complementary shades, and hang eclectic tapestries on the walls.
Make the coffee table a focal point by choosing an eye-catching shape.
Finally, bring in natural elements like a potted palm and dried pampas grass to tie the room together with warmth and texture.
4. Maximalist blue living room
If you love a blue living room, and you want it to be the main color without overtaking the whole room, there are ways to make that happen without making a solid wall of blue.
For example, in this room a jute rug is layered with a blue rug, a beautiful blue couch, and a woven coffee table to complement the jute rug. The room is blue overall, but has natural elements and patterned curtains that add a warmth to the cool tones of blue.
The key is to embrace a mix of hues, colors, patterns, and textures without worrying about matching every element. That’s the main trick when you want one main color – don’t try to match everything.
Think of your decor as having a conversation – each piece should complement the others while bringing its own flair and personality to the space. This is where you can avoid uniformity and let your imagination run free.
The result is a space that’s dynamic, artistic, and uniquely yours.
5. Raspberry and teal maximalist living room
Pink and teal is the unexpected color duo we didn’t know we needed! They’re the color scheme that shouldn’t technically work according to the color wheel, but they just WORK. There’s something fresh and electic about the two colors together.
I’m obsessed with this room and adore how carefully curated each item is.
You can recreate a similar look at home by starting with a rich, deep pink rug accented by a unique coffee table. Then, go with teal accent chairs in a plush fabric like velvet or chenille, coupled with a bright pink couch or loveseat.
6. Cozy maximalist living room
This maximalist, cozy space would be perfect to spend time in during the evening.
Something about the different patterns and plush textures looks so cozy and inviting.
The prints and colors are individually bold but they all flow so well together in tandem with the decor pieces.
Pick a color or tone and accent it throughout the space. For example, the golden hues in the leopard print ottoman flow into the gold sun mirror, and warm gold fringe lamp, and gold accents in the wallpaper tie everything together effortlessly.
You can also mirror the hues of your couch or accent chair with a bright pop of color from a neon sign for an unexpected element.
7. Cream maximalist living room with green and pink
Creating a neutral, green, and pink maximalist living room is all about playing with shapes, textures, and pops of color.
Start with a soft, cloud-like couch paired with a matching ottoman for a cozy yet sculptural base. Ground the space with a textured neutral rug to balance the bold hues.
Add visual interest by layering a green and white checkered throw pillow and a pop of bright pink on the couch.
Complete the look with a bright accent chair for a fun twist.
8. Pink maximalist Dolly Parton living room
Pink works perfectly in a maximalist living room. It’s feminine and the perfect backdrop for unique statement pieces.
Think of pink as the fun cousin of cream – it’s a neutral color if you have a penchant for fun. It creates a calm mood and you can use it in the same way as cream, oatmeal, and soft grey. It’s just not used as frequently!
9. Retro maximalist living room
A retro maximalist living room is easier to create than you may think, especially with the help of second-hand stores and flea markets.
To design a retro maximalist living room that feels both cozy and stylish, start with a retro couch for a classic base. The medium brown leather couch they’ve used here works so well – olive green or navy would be perfect too.
Add checkered and retro-print throw pillows for pops of pattern and personality, and a faux cowhide rug to anchor the space with a rustic touch.
Finish the look by filling your walls with vintage posters, framed retro photos, and quirky memorabilia.
Colorful retro maximalist living room
You can also do retro maximalism with a pop of color instead of browns and greens. I’m loving how lively this look is.
The secret to retro maximalism is mixing textures, patterns, and personal keepsakes for a unique, nostalgic vibe that still feels modern and inviting.
10. Colorful maximalist living room
This living room seriously hits all the notes! It has varied textures, patterns, and shapes that all fall within a color palette that just WORKS.
Choose a color for your couch that acts as the focal point of the room, and accentuate that color with decor items in the room. For example, this light purple couch is mirrored beautifully in the decor and tones in the rug and wallpaper behind the couch.
Then, choose a secondary color for throw pillows and art, and a third accent color you can showcase in pops of color around the room.
If you keep it cohesive, you can really mix and match textures to the full effect and it will look like it’s all supposed to be there.
11. Navy blue and plum maximalist living room
If you love the color navy, and you’re wanting it for your main color, make the biggest statement with your paint color.
Navy not only serves as the perfect backdrop for a bold sofa, but it’s a fantastic color to echo in the rug and decor pieces. It’s vivid, rich, and elegant.
Pair a jewel-toned sofa like deep plum or emerald green with a richly patterned area rug that has navy blue hues, and layered throw pillows.
Add eclectic art and metallic accents to create a cohesive, dramatic space.
12. Dark maximalist living room
Why not try a dark green, black, and cream theme? The result is rich, dark, and stunning!
This living room has a decor piece on every surface yet looks styled and intentional. You can accomplish a similar result by choosing pieces that A.) fit seamlessly with the space, and B.) have meaning or hold beauty to you. Consider the height and depth of shelves, mantle space, and coffee table height.
Most importantly, you’ll want to take your time curating decor items that fit both your vision and your space.
