Maximalist Entryway & Hallway Interior Design
Ideas, layouts, colors and materials for a maximalist entryway & hallway — plus the pieces that make the look work.
Designing a maximalist entryway & hallway
A maximalist entryway & hallway blends the maximalist look — collected + exuberant, printed textile, velvet, ceramics — with layouts and details that suit a entryway & hallway. Start with the palette, anchor the room around a focal point, then layer in texture and lighting.
Maximalist entryway & hallway palette
Choose three main colors from the anchor piece, assign one to the largest surface or furniture item, repeat the others at different scales and retain a few natural or pale pauses.
Color roles
A deep blue that can connect wallpaper, ceramics, upholstery and rug details.
Adds warmth through velvet, lacquer or a recurring thread in patterned textiles.
A dark architectural anchor for cabinetry or one large piece of furniture.
A bright but earthy accent best repeated in curtains, stripes and small art notes.
Natural grain gives dense color schemes a consistent, useful foundation.
