Eclectic Decorating Style

 If you love the look and characteristics of several different decorating styles, you’ll be happy to know that there is a method to pulling a cohesive, stylish, unique and naturally appealing look to your home.

Eclectic decorating style combines the elements of two, sometimes more, distinct decorating styles and creates a unique, unduplicated look that is unmistakenly individual.

Notice that I didn’t say, “throw anything and everything you like into a room and you’ll end up with a fantastic eclectic style space.” You’ve probably been in one of those rooms before, and your first instinct is to turn and run.

With a style of decor that is defined as eclectic, there is a method to the creation of the space. While you are mixing and matching styles, there are three main elements that you will use as guidelines.

First, think function...color...shape. Use one or more of these elements to create your eclectic space.

Next, combine two styles with accents of a third, as a general guideline. Don’t throw too much together.

Finally, find the commonality in the pieces you’ve elected to use in this space.
