How 6 Real Homes Make Maximalist Decor Their Own
Photo by @glassandkittiesvintage
At Lany Space, we make rugs with bold colors, playful patterns, and unexpected shapes. Seeing what customers do with them at home is half the fun. We picked six of the rooms they've shared with us to show how differently maximalist decor can look from one room to the next. Each has a rug pairing worth a closer look, and maybe an idea you'll want to try yourself.
01
Pink Pop Culture in Full Bloom
If pink is your color, there's no need to stop at a cushion or two. Here, it runs from the walls and sofa right down to the rug, where larger-than-life flowers take over the floor. The pink stays soft behind the vintage movie posters and gets brighter in the rug's flowers. Green leaves, sunny yellow, and touches of purple break up all that pink without pulling the room in a new direction.

Vintage Americana Meets Graphic Stripes
Once you've chosen a sofa with this much pattern, the obvious next move is usually a plain rug, but this room goes the other way and pairs those small-scale florals with curving stripes in rust brown and cream. The color palette is intentional and the scales are varied, so the two prints stay distinct even as they share the same warm tones. Vintage liquor ads, classic car prints, and, of course, that cherry-red fridge round out the vintage Americana look.

Artful Eclecticism From Wall to Floor
Anything can be artwork in a room like this, from portraits and family photos to a carved mask, a bright blue sculpture, and the faces sketched across the sofa. The eye rug is simply one more piece in the collection, only this one is layered over a vintage-style rug instead of hanging on the wall.

Modern Geometry in a 1970s-Inspired Room
With so much vintage already in the room, the rug can go more contemporary. Amber glass, dark wood, rattan, macramé, and crochet set the '70s mood. The mustard yellow talks to the warm tones around it. The cream ground and bold geometry give the room a dose of modern.

Retro Eclecticism Layered With Greenery
When you have this many houseplants, green becomes part of the room's color story. Tall plants rise by the windows, with smaller pots tucked among the furniture. The rug's olive green plays nicely off the foliage, while its coral and deep navy appear again in the art and cushions. The wooden coffee table beside a chrome side table gives you a sense of the room's easy retro mix.

The Maximalist Side of Cottage Style
In a cottage kitchen, checks can go on smaller things like café curtains and a sink skirt, leaving the floor for bigger flowers. The rug's cream daisies spread around the sage island, among leafy greens and warm orange. Then you notice the pottery on the counter and the fridge covered in magnets. The curtains and rug both have green in them, so the little things can be as mismatched as you like.

Final Touch
What makes these six homes memorable is how differently their owners put things together. If a pairing caught your eye, try it with the things you already love at home. And if a Lany Space rug is part of your room, send us a photo. We'd love to see what you come up with!
