15 maximalist bedroom ideas to transform your space
Maximalist interior design doesn’t follow a strict set of rules — it follows a feeling. A maximalist bedroom can be elegant and stately, wild and bohemian, or somewhere in between. The one rule? It better be big on personality.
In this guide, we’ll share maximalist bedroom ideas that combine bold colors, layered textures, and eclectic furniture to pack a punch.
1. Pattern on pattern
This bedroom doesn’t shy away from florals — it doubles down. Bold floral wallpaper explodes across the room, while a more delicate floral rug introduces a different color palette underfoot. The contrast in scale and tone is a smart choice. Rather than two loud patterns competing for your attention, the rug mellows out the gorgeous wall treatment. Simple white bedding acts as the visual anchor, with pink velvet pillows and a matching bench bridging the room’s two decor standout pieces.

2. Eclectic gallery wall
A gallery wall isn’t inherently maximalist, but this playful one sure is. Spreading across every inch of the headboard’s bedroom wall, it mixes ornate gold and simple black picture frames with white, beige, and even red mat boards. There’s no uniform spacing or matching palette — just a bold, collected feel that merits a closer look. With the help of colorful paint and crisp trim, the display feels museum-ready.
3. Oversized patterned wallpaper
Go big. Then go a little bigger.
In this maximalist bedroom, giant tiger lilies bloom across the wall in a wallpaper pattern that brings just the right amount of drama. The rest of the interior design is smartly restrained — pink tones from the flowers repeat in the throw pillows, curtains, and side table, while off-white grounds the space through the duvet, benches, and rug. For anyone craving maximalism with a side of calm feng shui, this look proves you can have both.
4. Dramatic headboard or canopy
Versailles called. They’re looking for their velvet canopy.
This maximalist room decor skips the bold colors and graphic wallpaper and goes all-in on old-world elegance. A floor-length velvet canopy and matching curtains create deep, dramatic shadows, while the tufted headboard ups the luxury factor. Paired with antique lamps and a candle chandelier, the room feels like a guest suite in a French estate. This is maximalism at its most regal — layered, luxurious, and unapologetically grand.
5. Ornate antique furniture
If your version of maximalism leans more heirloom than eclectic, this is your room. In this bedroom, every piece of furniture — from the upholstered headboard to the antique mirror frame and matching dresser set — showcases ornate, hand-carved detailing. It’s not loud with color or pattern, but the richness comes through in scale, texture, and craftsmanship. If maximalism is about adopting a narrative, this one takes you straight to a gilded past.
6. Mural ceiling
Few decor choices say maximalist bedroom like commissioning an artist (or undertaking an ambitious DIY home decor project) to paint your ceiling.
In this room, a custom mural stretches overhead, setting a dreamy, hyper-personal aura the moment you walk in. It’s paired with an oversized painting behind the headboard that shares the same color palette — a subtle thread that ties the space together without making it feel too controlled.
7. Plush fabric layering
This bedroom makes a big statement with careful use of texture and color. Wood panel inserts behind the bed frame draw the eye to the maximalist bedding, where soft fleece, tactile velvet, and cool cotton mix in layered red tones — from pale pink and burgundy to orange-wine. Complementary accent colors (like olive table lamps atop sailor blue nightstands) cool it all down, adding balance and keeping the bold colors from running too hot.
8. Mirrored or metallic finishes
A maximalist bedroom is a little like a bird of paradise: designed to dazzle us through bright, reflective colors that dance across our eyes. In this bold bedroom, mirrors and metallic finishes reflect every glimmer, from the chandelier above to gold-plated nightstands that catch the sunlight slipping through the curtains. Whether it’s a double-mirror vintage wardrobe, metallic wraps for furniture pieces, or gilded shelves and drawers, reflective decor keeps our eyes engaged and the decor glamorous.
9. Curated personal decor
Curated means fully committing to the look. This modern maximalist interior design goes all in on a red color palette, with every furniture detail reinforcing the fiery aesthetic.
Personalized maximalist bedroom ideas can take many forms. That might mean a deep dive into a recurring motif or design style, like Moroccan patterns or Japanese interior design. Or picture an aquatic dreamscape with mermaid wallpaper, seashell lamps, and a hand-painted vintage wardrobe to match. The goal of finding your home style is neither chaos nor restraint — it’s clarity of vision.
10. Statement chandelier or pendant
In a dark, maximalist bedroom with an all-blue paint job, it takes something truly special to steal the spotlight. Enter the glass chandelier, center stage. Sculptural, oversized, and impossible to ignore, it is the moment.
Decorating with dramatic light fixtures brings a sense of personality that nothing mass-produced could match. A mid-century modern Sputnik, Moroccan mosaic chandelier, or vintage-style disco ball light can all pull off the maximalist design sensibility.
11. Jewel tones or neon accents
Both jewel tones and neons lean into maximalism naturally — they’re bold, eye-catching, and unapologetic.
In this room, deep blue-green jewel tones take center stage, covering the walls, ceiling, curtains, and bedding in a rich, immersive palette. That monochromatic intensity sets the perfect backdrop for the neon accent lamps, which pop even more against the saturated jewel tones. It’s a smart, gutsy move: using neon sparingly shows restraint and creative confidence.
12. Wallpapered walls and ceiling
When the walls and ceilings are dressed in wallpaper, there’s no mistaking the mood — or escaping the full-wrap drama. You might pair this punch with quieter furniture and decor, or add showstopping pieces there too, since with maximalism, less is never more.
13. Bold wallpaper bedroom reading nook
Red, blue, and green floral wallpaper sets a vivid backdrop to crack open a book on a lazy afternoon. Carefully considered decor accents echo the color palette — a velvety red chair, leafy green plant, and pink and blue rug. It’s a small interior design moment, but in true maximalist fashion, even a quiet bedroom corner gets dressed to impress.

14. Moroccan patterns or global textiles
Maximalism tells a story — and this one speaks to a designer who knows how to barter. The colorful chaos of global marketplaces speaks the same language as maximalist interior design. This room layers a patterned rug, quilted duvet cover, and Japanese prints on the wall — all in faded red and orange tones that feel well-traveled.
15. Bold graphic rugs
This maximalist bedroom takes cues from mid-century modern but swaps the usual neutrals for wild curves and saturated, retro colors. A bold, graphic rug anchors the room with playful energy, turning the floor into the focal point. It’s a reminder that even in a vintage-inspired space, maximalism always makes room for pattern, contrast, and cool chaos.
