Pattern, Personality & Plenty of Charm

@homeandtexture

@homeandtexture invites us into a world where more is more—and every detail tells a story. From the olive velvet sectional layered in global textiles to the rainbow bookshelf and vintage suzani wall tapestry, this living room is a vibrant tapestry of character and comfort.

We’re obsessed with the eclectic mix of patterns and earthy tones, all grounded by the soft Moroccan rug and caramel leather poufs. Add in oversized glass vessels and a lovingly curated coffee table, and you have a space that feels collected, soulful, and wonderfully lived-in.

This isn’t just a room—it’s a moodboard brought to life.


Color Confidence

@maxine.ypm

Step into joy. This room by @maxine.ypm is a fearless celebration of color, clashing (perfectly), and creative expression—with every corner bursting in personality and playful charm.

From the citrusy velvet sofa to the palm-printed pouf and that kaleidoscopic gallery wall, this is maximalism at its most delightful. The green-and-pink palette dances across stripes, florals, and trims, while unexpected pairings—like the botanical floor lamp and ruffled pillows—make it all feel fresh, not fussy.

It’s loud. It’s lovely. And it’s living proof that more really can be more.


Wildly Collected

@lola.decor

Maximalism at its most magnetic. This cozy, color-drenched living room by @lola.decor feels like a treasure chest of textures, stories, and soulful energy.

From the crimson walls lined with vintage finds to the fearless clash of animal prints, woven blankets, and eclectic artwork, every inch is unapologetically curated. It’s a space that leans into history, culture, and character—with heirloom trinkets, tribal art, and plush textiles that invite you to sit, stay, and explore.

And yes, even the cat feels perfectly at home in this boho jungle of layered life.


Curated & Collected

@homeandtexture

This is where art becomes atmosphere. @homeandtexture crafts a moody, maximalist living room that feels like stepping into a painter’s mind—layered in soul, texture, and quiet eccentricity.

The gallery wall commands attention with portraiture and surrealist touches, anchored by cozy, lived-in neutrals on the sofa and grounded by a punchy checkerboard rug. Natural textures—rattan, ceramics, linen, brass—breathe earthy warmth into the drama, while curious objects (like the all-seeing eye pillow and melting side table) spark instant conversation.

It’s maximalism with meaning. Poetic, personal, and irresistibly layered.


Sunlight & Soul

@elizabethwynnemarshall

@elizabethwynnemarshall’s living room glows with more than just afternoon light—it’s alive with color, memory, and joyfully layered detail.

The poppy-red sectional makes a bold anchor, softened with chartreuse pillows, patterned textiles, and an heirloom rug that tells its own story. Eclectic artwork, family photos, and collected curios spill across every surface, while playful shadows from the blinds turn the whole room into a living painting.

It’s not just maximalism—it’s heart-forward design. Cozy, collected, and filled with stories worth sitting in.


Beautiful Chaos, Indeed

@homeandtexture

@homeandtexture gives us a maximalist dream soaked in color, whimsy, and unapologetic joy. This living room is a full-body mood—with jewel-toned sofas, neon art, layered rugs, and shelves bursting with playful curios and creative energy.

The inky blue fireplace wall adds a sense of drama and grounding, while pops of canary, fuchsia, and emerald bring pure, expressive delight. And that oversized tufted ottoman? A centerpiece that dares you to lounge a little louder.

It’s fearless, fabulous, and full of heart—just the way maximalism should be.


Cottagecore Maximalism

@circawdm

@circawdm invites us into a room that feels like a floral novel come to life—layered with books, bloom-filled textiles, and soft English eccentricity.

Blush-pink walls and mustard drapery frame the space with warmth, while the well-loved bookcase and striped settee bring in that irresistible lived-in comfort. From velvet stools to a patterned rug that ties it all together, this room isn’t just styled—it’s steeped in personality.

A space to read, rest, and never stop adding to.


Eclectic Elegance

@apartmenttherapy

This living room by @apartmenttherapy is a maximalist daydream—where vintage glam, botanical romance, and playful color collide in the most charming way.

That velvet olive-green sofa? A statement in itself. Paired with a sculptural glass coffee table and flanked by florals tumbling over a brick fireplace, the space feels both collected and completely alive. A deep teal accent wall sets off gold-framed art and mirrors, while the shaggy checkered rug keeps things warm and grounded.

Every piece tells a story. Every corner whispers charm. Maximalism, but make it majestic.


Collected Grandeur

@beautifulhomes.india

Step into a salon of stories. This stunning space by @beautifulhomes.india is a maximalist masterpiece—where heritage, artistry, and opulence come together in perfect harmony.

Every surface is curated: from the framed miniatures on the blush-toned wall to the intricately carved screen and statues layered like heirlooms. The crystal chandelier floats like a crown above it all, casting warm light over velvet seating, marble inlay, and antique trunks turned tables.

It’s not just decorated—it’s deeply lived-in, loved, and layered with legacy. A maximalist mood that’s rich, refined, and entirely its own.


Pattern Play & Everyday Joy

@frankeenandesign

@frankeenandesign shows us the magic of a home that doesn’t match—but makes perfect sense. This maximalist moment feels like a sunlit collection of stories, where every pattern, print, and pop of color has a pulse of its own.

From the palm-print curtains to the charming mix of florals, stripes, and books stacked like sculpture, it’s a room that leans joyfully into the “more is more” mindset. We’re especially smitten with the turquoise pouf, vintage portrait, and the wicker chair dressed in whimsy.

It’s lived-in, light-filled, and completely lovable.
