A Rad Movement <\/strong><\/p>\n

The field of art had a movement called Eclecticism. <\/em>This is still an unrecognized style on its own despite the movement\u2019s success. For many this is still seen as a distinct movement. The term eclectic <\/em>was first brought to the public\u2019s attention by Joha Joachim Winckelmann. This was a term used by Carracci<\/em> when painted and fused traditional and Renaissance pieces.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a wonderful story behind this art movement. Eclectic style means the combination of elements or styles coming from different eras or periods. These then become a single project despite their varied origins.<\/p>\n

Balance Is Key <\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t think that eclecticism is all about putting in different styles and praying that they would work. On the contrary, there is a beautiful harmony that is happening in every eclectic piece. Let eclectic style into your home by adding different pieces of furniture coming from various unique places. Think also of all the elements that you could add to make the entire design look like a whole, willed piece.<\/p>\n

Achieving Eclecticism <\/strong><\/p>\n

The eclectic style is very easy to love. While this is so, it is not easy to achieve. If you want your next design project to center on this style, then you need to outline and do\u2019s and don\u2019ts. Here are the DO\u2019s \u2013<\/p>\n

Do remember the layout. When you are planning the space for an eclectic space, you might get caught up on what textures, colors or patterns you need to bring together that you forget about proper placement.<\/p>\n

The layout is one of the fundamental things that you need to consider when setting up a room. The furniture layout is equally important. This is what would give you comfort and aesthetics. So before you begin purchasing the things that you will bring in, check out the furniture options. You might end up realizing that you don\u2019t actually have ample space to welcome a sectional.<\/p>\n

Consider utility as well. Remember always that the room is meant to be lived in, eventually, so let utility lead the decorations. Utility is a wonderful decorator. Allow it to make the decision for your fabrics and colors. Consider bookshelves, baskets, card tables and drink trays. These provide a lived-in look to any home.<\/p>\n

As for the don\u2019ts, let\u2019s begin with don\u2019t forget the focal point. As you arrange your layout, while you are combining different pieces from different eras, you must still remember to have a focused look. This means that some of the pieces will serve as accessories while one significant piece should serve as the focal point.<\/p>\n

Be consistent. The nature of the style that you chose is varied so every room \u2013 while being different \u2013 must still complement the others. Have eclecticism throughout your home but create a flow that\u2019s obviously there.<\/p>\n

Always make sure as well that you\u2019d pick one dominant color. This will serve as the unifying factor for the rest of the design elements. Color is also a great equalizer so you need it to create an overall look. While color is quite powerful, make sure that you do not compare hues. Don\u2019t go sampling on all available paints for your wall. The trick is to make a decision then create a lineup of colors that are a shade or two lighter and darker than your chosen color. Don\u2019t confuse yourself into lining up so many different colors that you end up feeling nauseated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
