Eclectic maximalist is definitely one hell of a mouthful! So let's break it down into bitesize pieces to really get into nitty and gritty of this interior design style:

Maximalist décor: Maximalist décor is the one time you'll hear us say more is definitely more! It's all about bold colours, rich textures, and an exciting mix of patterns. With maximalist interiors, every corner of your home should tell a story.

Eclectic interior design: Eclectic décor is a delightful mishmash of styles, where rules are meant to be broken and creativity reigns supreme! It's all about blending different elements, from vintage finds to modern pieces, in a way that feels uniquely you.

Vibrant and bold colour palettes: As soon as we talk about going bold with colour, our clients can get worried, but it's often one of the best things you can do to input some energy into your home! Everything is within moderation and with feature walls and statement furniture, there are so many ways you can infuse a little more vibrancy.

Even though maximalist and eclectic homes are all about going big and bold, we still suggest adding a bit of variation into the mix.

Our designers swear by a rule they call the "70/30 rule" whereby 70% of your space gets the maximalist treatment, leaving the remaining 30% for other styles you adore. - this is how you create a truly unique space that is totally eclectic.

And don't worry if you're not sure about what other design styles will work with your eclectic décor, we have more on that later!

Now, we're excited about this one - because colour schemes can be the real star of the show in eclectic interiors.

This is the time when our designers really push clients out of their comfort zones and help them create a space that they could have never imagined, but absolutely adore.

Our designers thrive on pushing boundaries and helping clients create spaces that are as unexpected as they are delightful. With eclectic maximalist décor, there's no playbook for colours – whether you're drawn to the moody vibe with dramatic, dark blues or enjoy a vibrant twist on the timeless pink and blue combo, there are so many choices.

The best idea is to always pick shades that you love, trying to embrace contrast and play with adding different accent colours with the use of soft furnishings or artwork.

Plus, bringing up the trusty 70/30 rule again, it's never a bad idea to balance it all out with some more neutral shades to prevent your space from being too overwhelmed.

Let us do the legwork for you! Our pro designers are ready to create your maximalist space, book today:

Eclectic furnishings and layouts

The great thing about being an eclectic maximalist is that you can appreciate each and every design style and instead of restricting yourself to one furniture theme, you can simply pick pieces that speak to you.

Mixing and matching is the name of the game here, try blending pieces from your favourite brands with vintage or one-of-a-kind furnishings - after all, opposites attract in the world of eclectic style interiors. Common styles we like throwing into the mix include Art Deco, retro, boho, contemporary and mid-century modern.

To make your maximalist house feel a little more cohesive you could look out for furnishings that all have a common thread, such as pieces that are all from the same colour family or that use similar materials.

When arranging, think outside the box – layer textures, mix patterns, and don't shy away from bold statements. Remember, in the world of maximalism, more is more, so let your creativity shine.

Styles that pair with maximalist interiors

Wondering what other stunning styles you can pair with your eclectic style interior? We have all the juice on what to look out for!

Boho: With its free-spirited vibe and love for global influences, boho style is a natural companion for maximalism and eclecticism. Think layered textures, bold patterns, and a mix of cultural elements for a boho-chic fusion.

Industrial: Embrace the raw and rugged charm of industrial style to contrast with the boldness of maximalism. Exposed brick walls, metal accents, and reclaimed wood furniture can add an edgy vibe to your eclectic space.

Art Deco: Cue the glitz and glam! Art Deco design simply shines in maximalist interiors with its luxurious materials, geometric patterns, and decadent details. Add a touch of old Hollywood glamour with velvet sofas, brass accents, and geometric motifs.

Avoiding design dramas

Overcrowding: While maximalism applauds the "more is more" mantra, drowning your space in an avalanche of décor can turn it into clutter. Find the sweet spot where abundance meets harmony – think curated chaos, not chaotic clutter!

Fear of Color and Pattern: Are you tiptoeing around bold colours and patterns? Maximalist and eclectic styles thrive on this, so don't be afraid to experiment with vibrant hues and eye-catching prints. Embrace your creativity and let your personality shine through in your design choices.

Lack of Cohesion: Mixing different styles, patterns, and colours is a hallmark of eclectic design, but without some level of cohesion, the space can feel disjointed. Look for common elements to tie the room together, such as colour palettes or textures.

Eclectic lounge room

This eclectic open-plan space is home to a luxury maximalist living room which is bold, beautiful, and begging to be explored!

Artwork is one of the ultimate ways to let your personality shine and with the use of both a gallery wall and a picture shelf, there was just so much space to display such an eclectic collection of prints. 

Moody, dark blue is a common theme in this eclectic lounge room with it being used as a feature wall and sofa shade, perfectly complimented by the dazzling bright pops of pinks, yellows and oranges.

Soft furnishings play a crucial role in elevating comfort levels in maximalist and eclectic living rooms. From the bohemian-style rug to the array of scatter cushions and a fluffy white throw, every element adds layers of cosiness. Paired with expertly executed layered lighting, this open space exudes instant warmth and comfort.

Maximalist bathroom design

As Interior Designers one of our favourite things to do is go BIG and bold in small spaces - it's always unexpected and will instantly become the talking point of your home!

If you're dipping your toes into eclectic design and maximalist decoration, why not start small and gradually expand? It's a tactic we often employ to gently nudge clients out of their comfort zones and introduce them to the world of eclecticism.

In this maximalist bathroom, the quirky wallpaper reigns supreme, becoming an instant focal point, while the moody blue shade simultaneously compliments and contrasts the space.

While bathrooms may not offer ample space for elaborate décor, you can still go big in other ways. Consider incorporating unique, geometric tiles, stained glass windows, or eye-catching hardware to create a truly maximalist bathroom.

Eclectic maximalist kitchen

The incredible thing about eclectic home décor is that it will grow and adapt with you over time, always welcoming in new pieces and styles - it's like a fine wine, only getting better with age, making it beautifully timeless in its own individual way!

Take this eclectic kitchen, for example - it's a vibrant mosaic of cherished pieces collected from around the globe, each telling a story of its own and adding depth to the space.

What's more, opting for second-hand and vintage finds not only adds character but also champions sustainability, a win-win for both style and the planet!

And didn't we say earlier that industrial design pairs perfectly with eclectic maximalist décor?! The exposed brick, metal shelving and contemporary lighting just complete the eclectic kitchen look - it's a match made in design heaven.

We could honestly talk about this maximalist kitchen all day with its bold orange bar stools, moody blue island and delightful mishmash of dining chairs, which make the space just so unique.

Bold bedroom ideas

This colour scheme is top on our list for bold bedroom ideas with the half-painted wall being such a clever way to implement a dark and moody shade without making the bedroom feel like it's suffocating in darkness.

Did you notice the dark green bed sheet? It oh so sneakily makes this maximalist bedroom look much more cohesive.

This small bedroom proves that even in a snug space, you can layer on the patterns and textures with soft furnishings and finishing touches galore.

Boho elements such as the rattan lampshade, house plants and dried flowers make this eclectic bedroom feel much more natural, bringing the outdoors in and creating a warm and inviting environment.
