The eclectic design style is something that you either love or hate. I like to acquaint it to jazz music in that it's cacophonously beautiful and layered, weird and wonderful. Here we share some tips on how to perfectly pull off an eclectic space in your home.
Layering:
As you can see in the amazing inspiration images above from Eclectically Vintage, layering plays a huge role in creating a space with eclectic home decor. Layering can exist in so many different parts of your design. Layering rugs is so chic and easily achievable. Start off with a basic jute or neutral rug and lay a fun, patterned rug on top to add character and style.
Patterns:
Anyone who has told you that mixing patterns is a no-no simply needs to see these images. Florals with geometrics with stripes and toiles - all mixed perfectly and working with each other in beautiful harmony. The trick to getting this look right is sticking to a similar color palette. If your colors are pastel, stay with pastels, or if you're going for bold graphics, keep all your patterns bold and geometric. One thing with the eclectic look is a lot of volume, so don't be afraid to turn it up.
Textures:
In eclectic design you will never see one note of texture. Often there will be fur, jute, leather, linen, cotton, velvet and stone. That is just how eclectic people roll. They are not afraid to mix textures together to create depth and interest within the space. The key is difference that compliments with a touch of flair.
