If your living room is overdue for a style update, this marvelous mix can be just what it needs. By opting for an eclectic style<\/a>, the odds are in your favor when it comes to incorporating a myriad of your existing favorite pieces.<\/span> What’s better is that it works everywhere: even your eclectic bedroom decor allows you to sensibly showcase your passions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Let Surfaces Set the Room\u2019s Mood <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A surface in an eclectic interior makeover<\/a> should introduce rhythm and pause. Choose materials that carry different kinds of reflection, from waxed wood to thick enamel, and let them coexist. Combine glossed ceramics with woven trays, or matte-painted walls with metal-framed windows.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong> Limit each surface to two distinct textures. Introduce a third only if one of the objects changes shape dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Clash Furniture on Purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to develop an eclectic decor style if you have all the furniture in a set or looking like it came from the same store. You\u2019re building tension, not teams. So, don\u2019t be afraid to pair a plastic chair with a thick wood table, or place something sharp beside something soft. The trick is to let one piece lead, and then spread the weight. If you cluster too much contrast in one spot, the room will tilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip: When it feels like the room is fighting itself, shift the boldest piece to a wall and give it air.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Groupings Are Grammar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A few things match in eclectic decor, but nothing should float as a single, accidental moment. If an element looks sharp or stiff, it needs something solid next to it. That could be a soft blanket against the edgy armchair, or a round lamp\/a wide vase atop a rectangular side table. You can hang an antique mirror next to a factory shelf if something else nearby ties their edges together. If everything in the room has skinny legs, the space will probably feel jittery, so you\u2019ll need something boxy or heavy to settle it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong> If two things look like they match but don\u2019t do anything for each other, separate them. One stays, the other moves<\/p>\n\n\n
