Welcome to the Jungle… of Home Decor

We’ve got trends that will make your home as unique and fabulous as your late-night Amazon orders. Here at Homespir, we’re all in on maximalist design: where more is more, and less is just… meh. Throw out all those minimalist manuals—the ones that told you to Marie Kondo your life—and let’s dive into the exhilarating chaos of 18 Maximalist Decor Trends that will leave your guests speechless, either out of awe or because they need a moment to recover from all the print and color combinations. Ready? Buckle up, buttercup. Here we go!
1. Fabulously Floral Walls
Who needs real flowers when you can cover your walls with oversized, neon-bright floral wallpaper that screams, “Take that, garden club!”? The bigger the blooms, the better! After all, subtle is for wallflowers—and these walls are anything but.
2. Glamorous Golden Fever
Gold accents everywhere—candlesticks, throw pillows, perhaps even pottery (we won’t judge). By 2024, your living room should resemble a treasure trove more Fabergé than IKEA. Make your home feel like Midas himself designed it… minus the whole turning things into solid metal problem.
3. Clashing Colors—Because Why Not?
Red and pink? Sure! Neon green and cobalt blue? Absolutely! Maximalism gives you permission to throw a rainbow party throughout your home, even if that rainbow looks a bit rebellious. Your home should feel like a kaleidoscope on a sugar rush.
4. More Mirrors, Majorly More Drama
Who doesn’t love a good mirror moment? Especially if your mirror reflects another mirror, which reflects another mirror… creating an infinite loop of fabulousness. Not to mention, you can always catch a glimpse of how great your outfit looks while adding depth to your space. That’s what we call a win-win.
5. Cherishing Chinoiserie Chic
Why have one bird when you can have a hundred making their swoopy, intricate way across a Chinoiserie-pattern wall? Use your home to channel centuries of design history and say, “Yes, I know what Chinoiserie is!” without ever having to spell it correctly.
6. Animal Print Adoration
From leopard print rugs to zebra-stripe couches, 2024’s maximalist decor is all about letting your inner animal run wild. And we mean wild. Because every jungle—whether urban or suburban—needs a zebra-striped throw and cheetah-spotted pillows. A perfect fusion of ferocious and fabulous.
7. Gallery Walls That Go On Forever
Who said there was such a thing as too many pictures? Maximalism says no way! Build a gallery wall that spans from floor to ceiling. Include pictures of your trips, your plants, random art, and that one time you met a dog that kind of, maybe, looked like Elvis.
8. Pattern on Pattern on Pattern
Thought one pattern was enough? How quaint. Layer floral curtains with striped chairs, on top of tiled floors, all under a polka-dot ceiling. Yes, it sounds chaotic, but oh my, when it works—it works. Your home will become a sophisticated quilt of delightful mismatches.
9. Velvet Everything, Friends
Velvet couches? Velvet curtains? Velvet looking suspiciously like a stretched-out ball gown from the 80s? YES. Velvet is the texture for people who want their furniture to be soft, luxurious, and ever-so-slightly reminiscent of “Dynasty” re-runs.
10. Delightful Decadent Chandeliers
Who says chandeliers are just for dining rooms? Hang one in your bathroom for that added touch of “I bathe in luxury, peasant!” Illuminating your home with sparkling prisms is like having your own personal disco ball, but with much more gravitas.
11. Dark Academia Nooks
Leather-bound books, moody lighting, and the strong scent of “I’ve read so many novels.” Even if you haven’t finished anything longer than a tweet, you can still fake your way into intellectual heaven by creating a corner that whispers ‘Oxford Library’. P.S. Plaid is not optional.
12. Boho Bounty Gone Bonkers
Take what we know as bohemian style and absolutely double, no, triple it. More macramé than your grandma could muster, more fringe than a Western saloon, and a plant sanctuary fit for tropical rainforests. Boho, but make it extravagantly eccentric.
13. Statement Ceilings Are In
Who said ceilings had to be white? Someone boring, that’s who. Paint your ceiling a blazing turquoise, cover it in an ornate mural, or—oh, we don’t know—install a mosaic up there? 2024 loves bold, unexpected ceilings that take neck-straining levels of appreciation.
14. Maximalist Monochrome Madness
Yes, maximalists, you can have monochrome—but with a twist. Think of one color, then drench everything in varied shades of it. Who would’ve guessed fifty shades of purple could look so gloriously chic? Throw in texture and layers, et voilà—a maximalist dream in a single hue.
15. Eclectically Fused Furniture
Fancy a Victorian armchair sitting next to your modern chrome floor lamp? Excellent, because furniture fusion is the maximalist way. Combine as many eras and styles as your heart desires. Just because the furniture didn’t come from the same century doesn’t mean it can’t be best friends.
16. Tapestries That Tell Tall Tales
Forget minimalistic, framed art. Maximalism says: go BIG or go medieval! Think giant wall tapestries, rich in color and texture, resembling something that once hung in the corridors of a king’s castle. Bonus points if it comes with an unverified story about knights or dragons.
17. Bold Jewel Tones
Your color palette should scream, “I just robbed a really fancy crown!” Sapphire blue, emerald green, ruby red, and amethyst purple—2024 is all about embracing rich, luxurious jewel tones that make your house feel like a royal affair somewhere between Windsor Castle and Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
18. Faux Fur Frenzy
Fur you can feel good about—even if your home looks like a chic Bigfoot. Faux fur throws, pillows, benches, maybe even a rug shaped like a bear but without the guilt! It’s perfect for lounging, creating cozy layers—and maybe starting your own caveperson-style makeover show.
