8 best maximalist decor pieces for every room in the house

Throws can be used as either a defence against the cold or purely as decorative pieces, but this oversized style manages to do both incredibly well. Designed by French print designer Camille Gressier, it features a bold tiger motif in bright orange against a background of muted pink, making it a great way to add interest to any room. The woven throw is also made from 100 per cent cotton, so it’s super-soft to the touch, and we also love the subtle fringe edging which adds to its craft-driven appeal.

It’s ideal for adding an extra layer of comfort and texture to your living space, whether you choose to swaddle your sofa with it, use it as a cosy bedspread or hang it as wall art – which is why we’ve chosen it as our best buy.

Think maximalism is for living rooms alone? Think again – plush bath rugs are a great way to add some flair to your bathroom too. Proving that art isn’t just for your walls, this runner is just as pretty as it is practical; the tufted sunburst design in a vibrant mix of minty greens and white promises to put a smile on your face each morning, while the extra-long shape means you can splash away in the tub without fear of stray bubbles

Crafted from 100 per cent cotton, it also feels satisfyingly thick under your feet, helping to create a luxury bathing experience every time. We also love that every piece from Peachy Parrot is ethically handmade in small batches by artisan producers using all-natural materials, and wings its way to you in eco-friendly packaging.

If you like a tipple, put your favourite drink on display with this gold octopus bottle holder. Crafted from resin and coated in shimmering gold, the quirky aquatic creature promises to add a playful touch of glamour to your dining table and is sure to be a talking point at your first post-lockdown dinner party.

The perfect accessory to be displayed on a shelf or bar cart, the octopus doesn’t have to hold onto just wine, as it’s just as effective at cradling a more awkwardly-shaped bottle of whisky or gin.

For those looking for a striking mirror that will get everyone talking, this circular style from Perch and Parrow is a must-have. A show-stopper of epic proportions, it’s composed of a series of individual circular mirrors framed with antique gold for a retro-inspired look that makes a stunning focal point to any room. The mirror can be hung horizontally or vertically and, while we think it would look best in an entranceway for all to see, it would work just as well in a living room or bedroom.

While art prints can make an impact on their own, creating a gallery wall made up of clashing styles and a whirlwind of colour is key to maximalist style and Desenio has a huge range of high-quality spanning a number of different themes, from pieces inspired by the natural world to graphic posters.

Tapping into the abstract interiors trend for 2021, this illustration of a woman drawn in purple surrounded by pink flowers is one of our top picks owing to its fun and contemporary feel. Suitable for any space, it comes in three different sizes and you can choose to add a frame – in black, white or light wood – for just £9.95 extra.

Love history and daring interior design? Look no further than this glossy gold vase that’s inspired by ancient Greek statues. An exclusive collaboration between Courthouse Interiors and homeware brand DOIY, the vase will never fail to impress amongst any interior scheme, whether you need to liven up your Zoom background or inject some fun into your WFH view.

A modern nod to antiquity, it proves that a vase can be so much more than a vessel to hold your flowers. This one is bold enough to make a statement all on its own.

Every maximalist home needs a playful lamp in its decorating arsenal and this one from Pooky promises to turn the style dial right up.

Appropriately called the “wobster”, the lamp is certainly an eye-catching piece with a statuesque base made up of tiered bubbles that are finished with a shiny orange lacquer. It’s available in two different sizes and, because the shades are sold separately, you can pick the perfect one to suit your interior style. One of our favourites is the marbled paper shade in blue sesia (£63, Pooky.com), which creates a colourful contrast to brighten up your living space.

A true maximalist knows that any sofa or armchair should never be left bare but no ordinary cushion will do. Perfect for adding a bit of extravagance to your lounge area, we love these vibrant cushions that are made from soft velvet and embellished with intricate hand-appliqued tiger designs. Plump and luxurious, each one comes complete with a sumptuous feather-filled pad. The only problem? We can’t decide what colour to get ours in. The cushions come in four lively hues – yellow, teal, red and grey – and we love them all equally.
