Maximalism is all about bold expression, vibrant colors, and layering textures to create a space that feels both rich and personal. While minimalist interiors can be sleek and simple, maximalist rooms invite you to celebrate abundance—where each piece tells a story and no corner is left untouched by personality.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to create a maximalist bedroom that blends Middle Eastern and Eastern elements for a magical, almost fairy-tale vibe. Imagine rich jewel tones, intricate patterns, and opulent fabrics that whisk you away to a world of djinn tales and lavish palaces.
A Maximalist Color Palette
Maximalism embraces rich, deep colors that command attention. For this bedroom, we’re focusing on a palette that pairs bold hues with subtle accents:
- Ruby red and navy blue are the anchors, setting a dramatic backdrop.
- Accents of dark teal to add a jewel-like touch.
- Soft notes of cream to balance the richness.
- And finally, gold, woven throughout the space, adding that luxurious, reflective quality that ties it all together.
This combination of colors is opulent and warm, drawing on both Middle Eastern and Asian design sensibilities because jewel tones and metallic accents have long been celebrated for their vibrancy and beauty.
Layering Rich Textures
In maximalist design, textures are just as important as colors. The right mix of materials brings depth and tactile interest to the room. For our maximalist bedroom, we’re incorporating:
- High-thread-count Egyptian cotton from the Royal Garnet Oasis bedding, which feels like pure luxury on your skin.
- Plush velvet in deep jewel tones for curtains and soft furnishings, adding a tactile richness.
- Gold and metallic accents that reflect light and catch the eye.
- Woven materials, perfect for layering on pillows, rugs, and throws to build up the cozy yet elegant feel.
With textures this rich, every surface in the room will beg to be touched, enhancing the sense of indulgence.
The Royal Garnet Oasis Bedding: A True Masterpiece
At the center of this maximalist haven is the Royal Garnet Oasis Egyptian Cotton Bedding Set, a true showstopper:

This set is made from 1,000 thread count Egyptian cotton in a stunning deep wine-red hue accented with navy blue. The intricate embroidery—featuring swirling circles, leaf patterns, vibrant florals, and playful golden-winged creatures—adds layers of whimsy and sophistication.
It’s perfect for those who want their bedding to be more than just comfortable—it tells a story that demands center stage. Don't believe us? Just check out a close-up of this embroidery:
Furniture for a Luxe Retreat
Maximalism invites you to mix and match styles, and we’re starting with a gold canopy bed featuring a headboard of gold circles, which ties beautifully into the circular motifs in the bedding:

Complement this with a navy and gold nightstand, featuring a chic gold pull rings that echo the circular design of the bed:

Add a teal dresser with gold pulls, pulling a color from the embroidery and adding even more visual interest to the space:
You may even want to upgrade the pulls to match the circular theme!
For seating, a navy velvet tufted chaise lounge sits by the window—a perfect spot to relax and take in the luxurious surroundings:

Layering Soft Goods: Rugs, Curtains, and Pillows
One of the easiest ways to embrace maximalism is by layering textiles, starting with the floor. Begin with a multi-color jewel-tone rug:

Layer in a whimsical leopard-print rug for that playful touch:
And ground the set with a navy oriental rug in a more traditional pattern for balance:
Next, add gold velvet curtains with a swirling design and a hint of shimmer to complement the opulence of the room:
When it comes to pillows, more is more! Layer ornate throw pillows on the bed, including a gold mirrored pillow, teal velvet pillows, and red pillows with gold borders:

Red & Gold Throw Pillows (Amazon)
These add visual depth while bringing out the colors in the bedding.
Top it all off with a luxurious fringed throw blanket in honey gold, artfully draped over the chaise lounge:

Curating the Perfect Wall Art
Maximalism isn’t just about piling things on—it’s about thoughtfully curating each piece, including the art.
Start with a canvas print of a traditional Persian pattern in jewel tones to evoke that historical flair:

Then balance it with a modern gold wall sculpture made of dozens of circles (picking up the circle motif again):
And finally, a bold abstract painting in jewel tones that feels like a celebration of Holi, full of energy and vibrancy:

Statement Lighting
The lighting in a maximalist room should be as bold and beautiful as everything else.
Start with a gold drum chandelier featuring more circles (because repetition of shapes ties the room together!) and hanging crystals to add sparkle:

Next, place a colorful Moroccan mosaic table lamp with a swan neck on the nightstand for a warm, ambient glow:
And to top it all off, bring in an ostrich feather floor lamp with a gold base, a conversation piece that’s as extravagant as it is chic:

Final Decor Touches
Now it’s time to pull the room together with finishing touches. A vintage look gold floor mirror adds elegance while bouncing light around the room:
On the dresser or another table, place a ceramic and gold bowl filled with mosaic decorative glass balls for a touch of sparkle and intrigue:
Finally, bring in a bit of nature with an oversized palm plant in a decorative pot—adding greenery to a maximalist space helps ground the room and brings in a natural, refreshing contrast to the luxurious textures and bold colors:
Conclusion
Creating a maximalist bedroom is all about embracing abundance in a thoughtful, curated way.
By blending Middle Eastern and Eastern influences with a whimsical, yet sophisticated vibe, you can turn your bedroom into a space that feels like a luxurious fairy-tale retreat, where every piece, texture, and color works together in perfect harmony.
