A melting pot of interior design styles and eras, eclectic decorating is not for the faint of heart! Characterized by bold colors, patterns, textures, unique objects, collectibles and funky wall decor, this style of decorating absolutely oozes confidence and personality.
Today we’re taking a look at eclectic living room decor in particular, where common themes and objects include:
- Bright color choices
- Mix-and-match furniture, think new and old
- Animal print, animal sculptures and statues
- Jungle-like plant life and leafy patterns and prints
- Risque artwork, wall decor and bold wallpaper designs
- Deer heads, faux taxidermy, faux fur, peacock-like color combinations
- Carved wood furniture and other natural textures like jute and rattan
- Layering of different textures
- Unexpected decor accents – like pineapples! (pssst… there’s one hiding in one of the designer pics in this post – see if you can spot it!).
For a “well-resolved, eclectic look” Homes to Love suggest that the smart placement and selection of objects is absolutely essential, paying careful consideration to the creation of visual links with colors, shapes and patterns.
