It’s Fall. It’s the perfect season to infuse an eclectic design to your home. While the rest of the world may be intimidated by this style – don’t. You can unleash your creative side and create a space that’s all too dreamy for others to even venture into.
Okay, don’t think that eclectic interior design is all about mixing a lot of designs with a whole lot of different interior design elements. Even a stylish person can become a fashion victim if she’s not careful. Eclectic style does not require an impeccable sense of fashion so don’t fret.
The best eclectic pieces celebrate harmony even in the differences in textures, styles, and colors. There are a few tricks, though, that can help make these varying elements cohesive. Here are some basic guides –
No to Sets
The initial step in eclectic interior design is to resist the temptation to buy furnishings as a unit. While buying furniture in sets can cut your shopping time in half, still, this is the straight line towards a showroom like home.
Do not coordinate your pieces, instead, find varied styles and vibes especially with your larger furniture pieces. If you’re a bit uncertain because you have always done pairings with your furniture, then do not worry. You will still be able to unify the pieces with some underlying methods.
Go ahead and fuse different accent chairs but those with related color families. Using more furniture to connect the different pieces is also an effective strategy.
Plan Your Color Palette
Don’t think that eclectic design is supposed to throw all guidelines in picking colors. Your color chart still has a purpose. What you will need is a deliberate and well-chosen color scheme that will harmonize all the mixture of genres and styles in your home.
If you still want to play it safe, then go ahead and pick a single color palette but one that comes in different shades. The shades will give your room ample variety so that it won’t look like one solid block of color that hit your guests in the head.
‘Tempted to go wild? Then don’t hold back. Pick a feature that will pull all the hues in the room (e.g. a Persian rug as an accent wall), then find accents that will all ground this one piece.
Different Eras In One Style
The furniture pieces that you eventually pick for your home must be diverse enough. Pair that modern desk with an Art Deco chair. Go rustic but, at the same time, Parisian – now ain’t that sublime?
The twist in eclectic interior design is knowing how to fuse two different eras and styles to achieve a stylish room.

Texture Is Life
If you’re in an eclectic space, then you have to remember to make sense of the chaos. Add layers without creating heavy aesthetics. You must learn to create just enough visual layers from sleek pieces, velvet bedding, mud cloth, natural hide, and wallpaper.
These different textures create an amazing impact while limiting the palette. If you want to establish a more masculine look, then pair dark metals with exposed bricks and other such natural elements.
If you’re feeling more experimental, use lacquered pieces with velvet and other plush fabrics. It is also not wrong to mix rough with smooth textures. These opposing looks will add visual and tactile interest.
Now don’t forget to use a single texture many times. Use it in different rooms to, once again, achieve a cohesive look.
Eclectic Means YOU
The whole point of eclectic interior design is making a space that suits and describes you. So go ahead and keep the stuff personal. Fuse all the colors and textures that you love because, at the end of the day, these will make you happy.
