Maximalist interior design and the role of modern rugs
When embracing maximalist interior design, the most fascinating challenge is creating spaces that celebrate abundance without descending into visual chaos.
Maximalist decor represents a design philosophy that goes far beyond simply accumulating objects: it’s the art of orchestrating bold colors, vibrant patterns, and rich textures in a harmonious dialogue that tells the story of who inhabits the space.
For Deanna Comellini, founder and art director of G.T.DESIGN, the contemporary designer rug is the definitive element capable of anchoring and balancing maximalist style interiors. In an eclectic environment characterized by furniture from different eras, layered artworks, and personal collections, the statement rug becomes the bridge between architecture and furnishings, the focal point around which to orchestrate all other decorative elements.
Maximalism and Design: abundance guided by planning
Maximalist interior design doesn’t mean filling spaces randomly. On the contrary, it requires a clear design vision where every element – from velvet fabrics to elaborate wallpapers, from sculptures to overlapping paintings – finds its place in a studied composition.
In this context, designer rugs become the visual and conceptual foundation on which to build the entire project.
A custom designer rug allows you to define functional zones even in the most eclectic open spaces, to introduce or echo complex color palettes, and to add that structured texture fundamental for creating visual depth. Working side by side with architects and interior designers, G.T.DESIGN integrates the textile element as a design pillar, not as a mere accessory.
Bold patterns in maximalist decor: Moving Forest
Maximalist interior design celebrates the courageous use of color and the layering of different patterns.
Deanna Comellini’s Moving Forest rug perfectly interprets this philosophy, drawing inspiration from the optical and chromatic magic of the plant world.With its botanical motifs that suggest movement and its vibrant decorations, Moving Forest becomes the visual catalyst of a maximalist style environment. In a room where Art Déco elements, vintage pieces, and contemporary design coexist, this statement rug manages to unify apparently contrasting styles through its chromatic energy and scenic presence. It’s the perfect example of how a designer rug can guide the eye through overlapping patterns without creating confusion, but instead generating interest and dynamism.

Versatility in maximalist decor: In-Touch
One of the keys to success in maximalist design is knowing how to balance exuberance with moments of visual breathing room.
The In-Touch rug represents this philosophy: highly customizable and with unique brilliance, it was created to accompany any style, from contemporary to classic, serving as a continuity element in eclectic spaces. In-Touch’s versatility makes it ideal for those who desire maximalist style interiors but want to maintain the possibility of evolving their space over time. This modern rug becomes the canvas on which to experiment with the abundance of decorative objects, paintings, plants, and personal collections typical of maximalism, without fearing the environment will become suffocating. Its ability to dialogue with rich materials like marble, carved wood, and ornate mirrors makes it a fundamental element for building depth and luxury in interiors.

The power of pure color: Campi di Gravità
Maximalism celebrates chromatic courage through the use of bright, decisive colors that escape neutral palettes.
The limited edition Campi di Gravità rugs embody this philosophy of pure color: intense red, deep purple, cobalt blue, chocolate brown. No beige, gray, or taupe, but saturated pigments capable of creating true chromatic oases at the center of the space.It’s precisely the power of bold color that makes Campi di Gravità the perfect tool for bringing together elements from different cultures and eras in a single room. A vibrant red rug can unify a gilded baroque sofa with a modern green velvet armchair, while an intense blue becomes the common denominator between vintage dark wood furniture and contemporary brass lamps. In well-planned maximalist interior design, pure color becomes the connecting thread that holds eclecticism together without neutralizing it, allowing each piece to express its own personality while participating in a harmonious dialogue guided by the chromatic force of the designer rug.

How to apply maximalist style with sesigner rugs
To achieve balanced maximalist decor, custom modern rugs offer several strategic advantages:
- Define the Design Foundation: a personalized designer rug immediately establishes color palettes, style, and the environment’s mood, preventing the space from becoming chaotic.
- Balance Textures and Patterns: in G.T.DESIGN rugs, the layering of rich textures dialogues with other fabrics like velvets and brocades, creating that stratification fundamental to maximalism.
- Create Visual Impact: like the elaborate wallpapers typical of maximalist interior design, a bold statement rug becomes a signature piece capable of defining the entire environment’s identity.
- Personalize with Taste: working with a custom rug allows you to express your personal story through chromatic choices, materials, and patterns that authentically reflect who you are.
