Maximalism in the Bedroom: More Colour, More Texture, More You

Minimalism Had a Good Run… But It's Time for More

For years, we've been told that 'less is more'—pared-back spaces, neutral tones, and a strict, clutter-free aesthetic. But where's the fun in that? Maximalism is here to shake things up, bringing bold colours, rich textures, and playful patterns back into our homes. And the best part? There are no rules—just layers, personality, and a whole lot of character.

At George Street Linen, we're all about making a space feel like you. Whether it's rich velvet, statement prints, or an unexpected clash of colours, maximalism is your excuse to break free from beige.

Where Did Maximalism Come From?

Maximalism has been around for centuries—think grand, over-the-top interiors from the Victorian era, the eclectic layering of the '70s, and the bold clashes of colour in the early 2000s. Today, it's having a full-blown resurgence, fueled by a desire to make our homes feel warmer, more vibrant, and full of life.
It's also a rebellion of sorts. After years of clean lines and neutral tones, people are leaning into spaces that feel lived-in, expressive, and completely their own. And thanks to social media, inspiration is everywhere—from colourful, pattern-filled spaces to rooms that mix old and new in the best possible way.

How to Bring Maximalism Into Your Bedroom

You don't need to go all in with floor-to-ceiling wallpaper (unless you want to—then, by all means, go for it). Maximalism can be as subtle or statement-making as you like. Here's where to start:

1. Don't Hold Back on Colour

Rich, bold colours bring warmth and personality to a space. Jewel tones? Yes. Earthy hues? Absolutely. Unexpected combinations? Even better. Our Venus Velvets are the perfect way to introduce lush, saturated colour—whether through cushions, throws, or a statement headboard.

2. Layer Your Prints & Patterns

Stripes with florals? Geometric prints with soft, organic textures? Maximalism is all about the mix. Our Bamboo Cotton, Cotton Jersey, Pure Linen, and Liberty collections are made for layering, bringing depth and interest to any bed. Start with one print you love, then add another—because one is never enough.

3. Texture is Everything

A truly inviting space is about more than just colour. Soft Cotton Jersey, breathable Pure Linen, plush Venus Velvets—mixing textures adds that extra something, making a bedroom feel thoughtfully put together. It's the difference between a flat, one-note space and one that feels rich and inviting.

4. Collect, Don't Just Decorate

Maximalist spaces tell a story. They're filled with pieces that mean something—favourite books stacked on a bedside table, artwork picked up on a trip, a vintage lamp that adds a little quirk. It's not about filling a room with stuff—it's about curating a space that feels collected over time.

Make It Yours

The beauty of maximalism? It's completely personal. Start with a bold duvet cover, throw in a patterned pillowcase, or layer in some textured cushions. Play with colour. Mix prints. Make your bedroom feel like a place you actually want to spend time in.
If you're ready to add a little (or a lot) of maximalism to your space, check out our latest collections. More colour, more texture, more personality—because more is definitely more.
