Ah, the wonders of an eclectic home! There’s something dynamite about a space that resists the urge to meticulously match items to one design aesthetic. Let’s face it, most of us are eclectic! We like a little bit of this and a little bit of that. So resist the urge to throw away items that don’t fit into a cookie-cutter image of what you imagine your ideal style to be or what you see in glam mags. Instead, go with what you love and see how your space evolves. Power up traditional design with unexpected modern twists like faceted colourful lamps and sculptural accents that lend a curious finish. Or use a bold patterned rug to tell a story bottom-up! Combine a modern mirror with ethnic wall-art from another country. Or pair-up a traditional lantern with a very modern wall panel. So if you can't decide on a style for your living room, why not make it every style? Nothing brings life to a room like a healthy mix of pieces from different eras and inspirations and a whimsical eclectic style can be a favourite! (title picture credit here)
