Eclectic decor trend was never meant to be a singular trend but in fact was simply a rebellious trend followed by artists and architects who could not adhere to one particular design trend. Eclectic is not simply a mix of this and that kind of a style. It is a medley of well thought out pieces that come together to depict a beautiful set up.
Wondering if the style is for you? Do you love your colours bold and flashy? Are you a souvenir collector? Does each piece of furniture and decor piece have an emotional significance?
If your answer to the above questions was an affirmative yes or a wow, then eclectic is your style.
If the eclectic trend is a new thing for you, start small and start with tiny accessories. Accessories include small or medium sized pieces that have the potential to act as centrepieces in your decor style without being too overwhelming. They are the easiest and prettiest way to convert a space into an eclectic haven.
Now that we are thinking accessories, eclectic tableware that includes small accessories that adorn a table, are also a great way to bring home the trend. Think dining table peppered with opulent vases along side Turkish serve ware. African sculptures on a console table or a set of agate coasters or some nomadic design. Tableware is yet another easy way to bring the eclectic design home.
Need a balance but not an overload? Maybe you do not want to go heavy duty furniture with your eclectic discovery but you also don’t have to settle for small accessories to do the trick. Fabric can be inspired from the trend and used to fashion your decor.
Pakistani Ajrakh prints and mirror works from India, all the way to Turkish, Iranian, Scandinavian or nomadic designs, eclectic designs are easy to find across cushion covers, curtains, throws, bedspreads and so on. They not only occupy a larger space but are also controllable changes you can afford to opt for.
Hope you’ve been inspired to show more of your eclectic side at home!
