What is a Maximalist Interior?

Maximalist bathrooms are all about embracing colour, pattern and personality to create a space that feels unique and unapologetically bold. Unlike minimalist design, which strips things back, maximalism leans into layering, mixing materials, finishes and styles to build a bathroom that tells a story. It’s curated rather than cluttered, where every element is intentional and adds to the overall impact.

This style often features statement tiles, rich colours, mixed metals and striking shapes, turning everyday fixtures into design highlights. Think terrazzo basins, patterned tiles, coloured vanities or sculptural tapware paired together in a way that feels eclectic yet cohesive. The key is balance, while there’s more going on visually, the space should still feel considered and harmonious.

 


How to achieve a Maximalist aesthetic:

  • Colour! Lots and lots of colour! Use any colour that you love and create bold contrast with bright combinations
  • Don’t be afraid to incorporate vibrant patterned wallpaper, tiles and furniture.
  • Fill every inch of an accent wall with artwork - you can have multiple gallery walls - more is more!
  • The maximalist aesthetic is a friend for book lovers! There is no limit to the amount of books you can have on display. Place them on shelves, on the floor, on coffee tables...place them everywhere!
  • The key is to GET CREATIVE! Homes can often be seen as functional, minimal spaces - take this opportunity to be creative to design a maximalist home that oozes personality

Traps to avoid:

  • Avoid having too many bright colours with no blend
  • Don’t over accessorise rooms with hundreds of small accessories
  • Opt out of using too much white - that isn’t the maximalist style!
  • Avoid using different colours in different rooms with no real flow between them - it’s important to keep your rooms somewhat cohesive
