Maximalist Style for Maximalism Interior Design

Maximalism is the colorful, bold, artsy cousin of simplistic minimalism.

Mixed and matched colors, asymmetry, and different textures highlight this interior design style. A fantastic way to play with textures, colors, materials, and patterns in your home is to add a vintage rug.

1) Go Bold.

Vintage rugs are more colorful, vibrant, and eclectic than modern, mass-produced rugs. These bold patterns and bright colors fit well in a maximalist interior. More is more when it comes to maximalism.

2) Mix Patterns and Textures.

Maximalism gives you the freedom to mix prints, combine textures, and experiment with colors in a fun and unique way. Try matching an ornate oriental rug with the clean, bold lines of modern furniture, or mix a bold tribal rug with soft, neutral furniture for a free-spirited vibe. For extra layers, consider pairing different vintage rugs in the same room.

3) Create A Narrative.

While maximalism is all about mixing it up, there is a fine line between creative and cluttered. Stick to a common theme or mood in your room. If you are going for a colorful Victorian style, a bold floral vintage rug can help you pull the room together. A room with a more eclectic, boho vibe could benefit from a rich, geometric Persian rug.

4) Be Unexpected.

Ultimately, maximalism is all about trusting your creative intuition. If you fall in love with a rug that doesn't match your décor in a traditional sense, it might be the perfect piece to jumpstart maximalist design in that space.
