Miley Cyrus's pattern-clashed dressing room indicates this maximalist design trend will prolong for 2025 – experts say it's surprisingly replicable

For many of us, a new year means a home refresh, and what better way to change things up then with a little color and pattern-drenching?

After seeing a photo of Miley Cyrus' delightfully pattern-clashed dressing room, designed by Mat Sanders and Cyrus' own mother, Tish, we are convinced that maximalism is the way to go for 2025.

Cyrus' dressing space features a couple 'of 70s-inspired chairs, one in orange and one in purple, both delightfully patterned, along with black-and-white leopard curtains and a subtly patterned, traditional purple rug. The mix of patterns is cut by the sleek glass coffee table and matte, green and red vanity. The variety of textures and patterns fits right into the enduring dopamine decor trend, proving that more is more (and that the philosophy is right on trend this year).

According to experts, pattern clashing and color drenching should be playful and experimental, but there are a few tips and tricks to be mindful of when infusing your home with vibrant prints. First and foremost, ensure that there is some form of cohesion in your space.

'Stick to designs in the same color family to keep things feeling calm and collected,' says Jo Plant, head of design at Pooky. 'If you’re going bold with a busy print, pull out one standout color and weave it through smaller furnishings for a look that's perfectly put together.'

We can see that purple is a recurring color in Cyrus' dressing room thanks to the vintage chair and the rug, while the black spots on her curtains go with her vanity chair. The slight matches are pleasing to the eye and make the room look more uniform.

Plant recommends basing a space with mixed patterns around your favorite or most interesting patterned piece (for example, a printed chair or bold rug) and then adding pieces around that.

'Start with your most large-scale or complex pattern, then build out with smaller, simpler designs,' she says. 'Choose combinations of patterns that compliment instead of compete, such as an oversized floral print paired with a simple pinstripe.'

She continues, 'To keep the calm and avoid any hint of clutter, mellow patterned items out with solid-colored furniture or large surfaces like rugs and paint. Weave in plain curtains, ottomans, or throws to rest the eye and really make the other patterns sing. Grab pattern swatches and play with different options to find unexpected combos. Mixing patterns is all about experimenting and adding personality to your space. Even if a pattern doesn’t work in one room, there will always be another spot in the home where it could fit, so take the plunge!'

Another great way to make a maximalist space feel tied together is matching the colors of small items, such as coffee table books, with larger items, like sofas or rugs.
