Eclectic Style
|
|
|
Eclectic style encompasses a variety of periods and styles and is brought together through the use of color, texture, shape and finish.
|
|
Colors - The palette can vary but it's best to stick with a few neutrals to help tie all of the elements together. In the red and gold room above, creams and browns are used to ground the palette so the great design isn't lost among the many hues.

Furniture - Take into account the lines, finishes
and materials of the pieces you're combining and
look for ways to bring them together, whether it be
with paint, fabric or a more refined or roughed-up
finish.
|
|
|
|
|
Fabrics - An eclectic look is partly defined by the
multitude of fabrics, whether they be patterned,
textured or both. Choose a color scheme and stick
with a neutral as your grounding force, then add to
it with colored and textured solids and patterns and
trims, tassels or fringe.

Finishes - A combination of finishes and textures
sets an eclectic look apart from the rest. Above,
burnished bronze lamp bases contrast with a black
and white box but tie in with the golden tones in
the ceiling and wall behind.
