At first glance, an interior decorated in an eclectic style may seem rather chaotic and disorganized, but over time this impression fades, and everything begins to appear quite fascinating and original. After all, the primary purpose of the “eclectic” style is to combine utterly incompatible and opposing things.

 

And despite the seeming ease of the task, it is quite difficult to accomplish. It requires wit, a broad outlook, and high professionalism. Because this “colorful mix” in the interior must also, surprisingly, adhere to strict rules to prevent the interior from looking like an overstuffed storeroom.

 

Thanks to its diversity and freedom, the “eclectic” style has broken out as a leader in global design fashion and has been at the peak of popularity for many years. I believe it will not soon descend from there, as more and more clients are approaching me with the desire to furnish their home or apartment precisely in an eclectic manner.

 

To stay within the bounds of harmony and good taste when creating an eclectic interior, the following rules must be observed:

  • Always choose one style as the foundation, onto which, like beads, we will string other interesting components, most often these are neoclassicism, minimalism, and Scandinavian styles;
  • All furniture in the interior should be matched in color, and sometimes even in texture, but it’s not necessary to create a multicolored environment, designers usually choose three basic colors;
  • Textiles also should be chosen following all the rules of color matching – they should harmonize in color with the entire setting;
  • Do not clutter the room space with furniture and accessories, as this will create chaos and confusion.
