Eclectic Design Ideas

Eclectic style design is just what it sounds like; many styles in one, it’s eclectic. There are many approaches to this style, and many people identify as eclectic because of its fluid nature and wide range of looks. On one hand, Eclectic style is about mixing different elements together, however eclectic is also all about a collected and globally inspired space that is both informal and approachable.Where may you see Eclectic style design? It’s quite popular in pop culture television and movies. This is because eclectic spaces can feel familiar and comforting, and definitely give an artsy and interesting vibe. Eclectic design can feel very youthful with a boho side. From floor poufs and woven textures to colorful palettes, this style speaks widely to youth and can even feel a bit hippy. In contrast, but not differing in style, there is also a more sophisticated approach to Eclectic design. Though still mixing elements and styles, eclectic style can feel put together and curated.Eclectic style is not for those who shy away from layers and patterns. Eclectic style takes the prize in bold patterns, saturated colors, and mismatching elements that all come together harmoniously. Patterns aren’t the only layer of importance in an eclectic style, texture is quintessential as well.  Contrasting textures, like a smooth armoire next to a woven rattan stool, is what eclectic design is all about. There needs to be enough visual stimulation in an eclectic room, but not so much that it seems random. Think opposites, smooth versus rough, soft very hard, and pair them together accordingly in an eclectic mix.If you are looking for eclectic style furniture, there isn’t a style label you’ll want to search for. That’s because everything can be eclectic depending on how you pair it. A rustic dining table could be paired with molded plastic Mid-Century Modern dining chairs in an eclectic dining room. It’s not the furniture that makes it so, it’s the pairing of elements. Of course, there are unique elements that are inherently more eclectic, such as globally-inspired items. Throw pillows with bold patterns, carved wood coffee tables that sing of Morocco, and perhaps a vintage desk that has been passed down from generation to generation...all are eclectic in their own sense. However, a common element in eclectic style spaces is use of wall art. This includes tapestries, gallery walls, photo walls, you name it. This style is the perfect home for a wall full of art, mixing styles of art of course. If you find yourself drawn to old and new, an array of styles, and multitude of colors, an Eclectic style could be the perfect blend for you. Curating this look can take time, but be oh-so rewarding when you have a space that not only is beautiful but is a reflection of individual items you love, in harmony with one another, creating a masterpiece. This is what eclectic style is, and we have so much beautiful inspiration to show you! Enoy.
