Trends & Influences: Vibrant Eclecticism

Often a person’s unique style can’t be squeezed into one box — that is — one design box. The good news is, there are so many ways to creatively (and tastefully!) combine a few design styles to achieve a look that is individual and elegant. Eclectic style encompasses a variety of periods and styles and is brought together through the use of color, texture, shape, and finish.

This kitchen becomes an eclectic space by combining Mid Century Modern cabinetry with colorful statement appliances, a minimalist subway tile backsplash and Transitional Ombré faucet. 

Convert a basic bathroom into a multi-faceted spa space with an Art Deco mirror, a Contemporary angular faucet, and a statement piece Sputnik chandelier.  

Any room can become a more eclectic space with powerful statement lighting. Choose mini pendants, chandeliers, traditional ceiling fans, and mixed-metal fixtures in complementary or contrasting design styles for a fabulous, sophisticated look. 

Eclectic style is all about harmony and the coming together of disparate styles, juxtaposing textures, and contrasting colors to create a cohesive look. Consider using sentimental items for inspiration. If you decide you don’t like the look, change it up! It’s all about enjoying the discovery of your own personal style.
