The basic meaning of a maximalist home is all about applying your personal touches to the home decoration. You can surely have the freedom to apply anything in the decoration without feeling too much. It will be ok if there are too many colors being applied or too many patterns that you have because it is a maximalist style. Anyway, for the maximalist decoration, layering is the technique that the designer uses. Besides having the details that represent your personality, you can also display your collection to bring your personal touches to the decoration. Commonly, people also have a wall gallery in their maximalist house that displays photo collections, paintings, or any other artworks. Back to the layering technique, as a whole, here are some possible layering that you can do to create a maximalist home.
- Color layering: The color choices of the maximalist design can be anything but mostly, people use bold colors. You can do the layering color by combining some colors in a room without worrying about being too much.
- Texture Layering: You can have the texture from the furniture, home accessories, or interior parts like the wall. The texture itself can be the rough ones or the soft ones.
- Pattern Layering: There are so many pattern choices you can take from the dots, lines, floral, geometric, etc. Create an aesthetic look by combining some of the different patterns.
With all of the possible combinations and layering applications you can make in creating a maximalist design by implementing your personal touches, you should be a little bit careful because the decoration can be overserving. The point is that you decide the concept. You will need references in making a great maximalist home design and here we have the ideas for you.
Living Room
The living room is the public room where there won’t be only you who use the room. That is why you should consider more for things that you apply there. However, it doesn’t mean that you can present your personal touches to the decoration. You can still have it but not too much. You should also think about others’ impressions when they are in the room. That is why, here you need to balance the decoration. You can do all the layering but still apply the neutral colors to balance the impression.

Bedroom
Bedroom is your private room so that you can surely do anything there. From the color choice, pattern, and anything that you apply there, you can do it based on your personal taste and passion. However, remember that the bedroom is the place to rest and relax so that don’t make the room being overserving and distracting you while you need to have a qualified sleep or rest.

Dining Room
The dining room should be intimate because it will be the room where you have the meal. The ambiance should be able to bring a grateful feeling and a warm environment. We recommend you apply the warm bold colors but if you want to have the bright ones then it will be ok. The point is that you should be able to balance the ambiance.
Yellow is a fun color but can be warm if you choose the right shade. To make it have the maximalist style impression, it is then added with the details which are in patterns and colors. The chairs are also implemented with the details and there is one chair that has a red color to make the decoration be seen as more festive. Yellow Scheme from @thatrebelhouse
