Do you believe the bigger and bolder, the better? Then maximalism might be for you. This design style celebrates the mix of diverse, contrasting elements to create a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that wows. While maximalism may initially conjure images of over-the-top rooms packed with excessive color and quirky decor, the real magic is in curating these elements into perfect harmony in a way that feels thoughtfully collected and tailored to your tastes. Here's how to create a maximalist nursery that’s vibrant, functional, and uniquely your own.
1. Bold Colors and Patterns That Pop
Mix rich hues like deep greens with an exciting animal print, or primary colors like vibrant blues, reds, and yellows with basic shapes that spark imagination. The key to a maximalist design is balance—layer complementary colors and patterns, remembering that unexpected combinations can create a dynamic energy in the space. Blend in neutrals from the Pogo 8-in-1 Convertible Crib to add balance, or go full color with options from our Swell and Hudson collections. Tie it all together with our GOTS-certified organic cotton bedding in fun prints like Terrazo, Golden Hour, and more.
2. Textures That Transform
Layering different textures gives your maximalist nursery depth and dimension. Think plush rugs, velvety fabrics, soft linens, and natural wood elements. Blending these materials allows you to add visual interest without overwhelming the room. Made with FSC®-certified, sustainably harvested wood, the Pogo Tambour Assembled Dresser features chic fluted paneling that adds a rich texture to the room, making it the perfect piece for balancing the softness of your fabrics with sturdy design.
3. Functional Furniture with Style
Maximalism isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating a room that works for you and your baby. Choose statement furniture that also serves a purpose, like the Kiwi Electronic Recliner and Swivel Glider with USB port. Upholstered in premium fabrics, it elevates your nursery design while offering you unmatched comfort. Luxe materials ensure the space feels as good as it looks, while the functionality guarantees the room stays stylish and practical as your little one grows.
Maximalist design is about embracing bold choices and curating a room that feels unique and full of life. With thoughtful curation, it’s possible to mix styles, colors, and textures in a way that feels both lively and refined. Go ahead—make your nursery as colorful, creative, and special as your little one. For more maximalist design ideas and nursery inspiration, explore our other design blogs.
