Find the Perfect Balance of Boldness and Sophistication in Your Decor
We're so excited to talk about one of our favorite design styles: maximalism!
It's all about expressing yourself and creating a home full of personality. We're seeing a big comeback for this style in 2025, which is why we're here—to share some of the top trends with you.
If you love bold colors, playful patterns, and statement pieces, you're in the right place.
Let's get started on creating a stylishly bold home with furniture decor.
What is Maximalist Furniture Decor?
Think of maximalism as the opposite of minimalism. It's about celebrating abundance and showcasing the things you love.
It's NOT clutter!
Maximalism is curating a collection of furniture and accessories that tell your story.
The maximalism look has a rich history, drawing inspiration from grand European palaces and opulent Victorian interiors. But today's maximalism has a modern twist, blending vintage charm with contemporary flair.
At Statements by J, we love this style because it's overflowing with confidence (not arrogance) and expresses your uniqueness.
It's about more being more, and doing it with style.
Elements of Maximalist Furniture Decor in 2025
The trick to maximalism in 2025 is mixing and matching. Think bold colors, like deep jewel tones or vibrant pastels, combined with unexpected patterns.
We're seeing a lot of interest in textures, too, from plush velvet to sleek metallics. It's about creating a visually interesting space that's full of surprises.
A Kaleidoscope of Color
Don't be afraid to use color! Think beyond bare white walls and play with vibrant hues.
Imagine painting your living room in a rich sapphire blue or a deep emerald green – instantly glamorous!
Bring furniture in perky colors, like our Alexa Green Barrel Chair, which adds joyful sophistication. Or how about layering in pops of deep purple or burgundy with accessories like cushions and throws?
The key is to create a space that energizes and excites you.
Pattern Play
Mixing and matching patterns is where the fun really begins! Florals, geometrics, animal prints – the more, the merrier.
But remember, there's an art to the mix.
Try pairing a large-scale floral wallpaper with a geometric patterned rug. Or introduce an unexpected twist with patterned furniture pieces like our Spike Mirrored Chest Cabinet. Its unique spiked texture is infectious, while its mirrored surface reflects light, amplifying its surroundings.
Remember, have fun and experiment until you find a combination you love.
Scene-Stealing Statements
Every maximalist room needs a few spotlight pieces that command attention. These are your statement pieces – the furniture that anchors your space and gives it that "wow" factor.
This could be a dazzling dining table like our Round Waterfall Dining Set for 6 in Blue, with its sleek golden lines and luxurious marble top matched with bright blue velvet chairs.
Or maybe a dramatic accent chair like our Anika Black Balloon Chair. This monochrome back metal and velvet chair demands awe while complementing other pieces.
Layer Up
Layering different textures and accessories creates depth and interest.
Consider combining a plush velvet sofa with a sleek metal coffee table, like our Modern Irregular Kaylee Coffee Table, which adds modern chic to the mix.
Or, layer different throws and cushions on your bed, mixing and matching materials like velvet, silk, and faux fur. Top it off with our Crespo Gold Accent Chair, featuring a bold golden design that adds the perfect amount of drama.
Don't be afraid to play with contrasting textures and finishes – it's all about creating a rich and inviting space.
Collections with Character
Displaying your favorite collections of art, books, or other objects is a hallmark of maximalist design. It's a way to showcase your personality and tell your story.
Use shelves, cabinets (like our Flamm Accent Cabinet with Ball Feet, which offers ample space for showcasing your treasures), and tabletops to create vignettes that spark conversation.
Vary the heights of your objects and group them in odd numbers for a more dynamic display.
The Heart of Maximalism
Furniture decor is the heart of any maximalist space. It's the foundation upon which you build your design.
We offer a range of pieces perfect for creating a bold and stylish home.
Consider a bouclé sofa in a rich color, like our Bernard Green Bouclé Sofa, which adds playful sophistication to any living room. Or a patterned accent chair for a pop of personality, like our Olivia Channel Tufted Armchair Barrel Chair in Green – Statements by J, perfect for creating a cozy reading nook.
For a more maximalist look, add these two pieces to the same room for playful luxury.
These pieces will make your space truly unique.
Rich, Harmonious, and Affordable
The goal of maximalism is to create a space that is visually rich but also harmonious. This means you should be thoughtful about the pieces you choose and how you arrange them.
You need to find the right balance between boldness and sophistication.
But don't be afraid to experiment and play around with different combinations until you find what works for you.
This might sound like it'll cost you your annual salary to get right; it needn't be so.
As any sophisticated shopper will know, there are special places to shop for quality luxury at premium prices. Statements by J offers high-quality furniture decor at prices that won't make your bank account shudder. Why?
Because everyone deserves a touch of luxury in their lives.
