Add furniture in different patterns and colors—each layer should share the story of your home or the people who occupy the space. Combining rugs, wallpapers, paintings, and photos can be a great start for curating a maximalist room. Keep in mind maximalist can look cluttered, so try to avoid over-accessorizing or using too much of everything – maximalism doesn’t mean tasteless. Get inspired!
