If you’re into rich, layered interior design highlighting a series of era’s and movements, eclectic style interior design might just be the right direction to consider for your home. But why eclectic style?
Eclectic style is all about harmony and the coming together of disparate styles, juxtaposing textures, and contrasting colors to create a cohesive, beautifully realized room that wouldn’t be out of place in a home décor magazine as this is one design style that takes verve and a great eye. And since eclectic interior design is all about experimentation and play, do have fun with the freedom it allows.
But if the thought of pulling together a brilliant mix of eclectic style furnishings with a confident hand seems daunting, we’ve compiled a handy guide with advice from Décor Aid interior designers to help you create your own eclectic space with authority.
Choosing a series of core colors to compliment your eclectic design is a great starting point and will double as a guide to help you edit and home in creating a cohesive look. It will also aid in pulling elements of eclectic design together for balance to boot.
We suggest you choose one neutral hue and one accent color to get started. Using a calming neutral throughout will allow for a smart base color to layer over, and prevent the room from feeling a tad too overbearing.
That neutral will work wonders along side your chosen accent color especially when applied to different aspects of a room to create a harmonious space instead of a mismatched and erratic one. As you go along add to and expand your core eclectic style palette by starting off with two classic tones for a studied yet nuanced take on eclectic home decor.
When charting your route to perfecting eclectic style decor, it’s best to keep your walls simple and straightforward – elaborate wallpapers can make it difficult to bring in other patterned elements without coming off as heavy handed.
Simple painted walls will create a solid foundation to bring in eclectic decor and add interest elsewhere. Adding vibrant accessories to a plain backdrop is far easier than adding plain accessories to a busy backdrop; you’ll have far more alternatives.
