Get the Look: Create an Eclectic Maximalist Home with Wall Panelling
Looking to add more colour, character and personality to your home? Eclectic Maximalism is all about combining bold colours, interesting textures and pieces you love to create a space that feels unique. This maximalist approach to home styling has grown fast in popularity through 2026, as homeowners move away from plain, neutral schemes in favour of rooms with real personality. Rather than matching everything perfectly, eclectic maximalism celebrates contrast: think vintage finds sitting alongside modern furniture, warm colour palettes paired with statement patterns, and clean architectural details like wall panelling grounding playful, curated accessories.
Our PaintReady® Shaker Style Wall Panel Kits and Classic Wall Panel Kits make it easy to introduce this trend into your home. Whether you’re creating a statement feature wall or adding detail throughout a room, our wall panel kits offer a versatile solution for both traditional and modern interiors.
Eclectic Maximalism Made Simple
Eclectic Maximalism is about layering different colours, patterns and textures to create a home that reflects your style. Wall panelling helps bring the look together by adding structure and interest to your walls.
Why Choose Wall Panelling for the Eclectic Maximalist Look?
Wall panelling provides the perfect base for experimenting with colour and texture. It allows you to introduce statement shades while adding depth and detail to your walls.
Easy ways to create the look:
- Paint your panels in a bold colour to create a standout feature wall
- Use the same colour across your walls and panels for a more dramatic finish
- Combine painted panelling with patterned wallpaper for added texture and interest
- Layer with artwork, mirrors and accessories to make the space your own
Our PaintReady® Wall Panel Kits come primed and ready to paint, making it simple to create a finish that works with your chosen colour scheme.
