Eclectic Interior Design is a style that encompasses a wide variety of styles and periods. This design is a mixture of textures, time periods, styles, trends, and colors. To the untrained eye, an eclectic design may come across as a bunch of items randomly thrown together that magically work. But creating an eclectic interior that works is not quite that simple. It involves creating a harmonious look by using contrasts and variety. However, moderation is important when creating contrasts and to create a balanced design. Originality and individuality is another important factor in this style. So, don’t be afraid of displaying your collections in your eclectic living room or making bold color choices for your eclectic bedroom! Although, do make sure that the whole output is interconnected and harmonious.
Eclectic Design is unique and unusual. It gives you a chance to experiment with ideas and bring your own style to the design. It allows you to showcase your individuality in the design. You can mix and match colors and layer textures. You can also mix the old and new era’s elements and add your personal touch. However, you need to make sure all the elements in your design come together to give a complete and cohesive design. When designed well, eclectic style broadcasts your confidence in your own style while still adhering to the fundamentals of good design. In this post, we will look at some eclectic living room designs that are unusual as well as original.
