For the bold and daring designer, maximalism is about storytelling through collections, color, and pattern clashing. This master bedroom pairs terracotta walls with vibrant rugs, gallery walls, and velvet upholstery.
How to Make It
- Wall Treatment: Paint the walls in a rich, spicy terracotta to serve as a grounding canvas for an extensive gallery wall featuring eclectic vintage oil paintings, prints, and mirrors.
- Textiles: Mix animal prints, rich kilim rugs, velvet bolster pillows, and patterned kantha quilts in a fearless display of color and texture.
- Furniture: A jewel-toned velvet armchair in emerald or sapphire paired with an intricately carved wooden headboard.
Variations & Tips
- Variation: Paint the ceiling in a matching or contrasting jewel tone (like deep indigo) to envelop the entire room in rich, immersive color.
- Tip: Embrace the “more is more” philosophy by filling bookshelves with vintage books, globes, and curiosities.
