Harmony when mixing styles is the main principle
This style arose in the II century and designated the direction of ancient philosophy, uniting heterogeneous styles. Over time, this technique began to be used in architecture, visual arts and modern interior design.

Characteristic features of style
There are no templates for interiors in the eclectic style, since each project is a separate story based on the initial data and preferences of the inhabitants of the house or apartment.
To achieve a harmonious perception of space, it is necessary to adhere to several rules:
Tip: for an eclectic interior, they take styles gravitating to a neutral palette and free space (minimalism, Japanese style, etc.).

Tip: The color of wall and furniture is often used as a binder thread, filling the rest of the space with elements of another stylistics, or use furniture and decoration of a similar shape, and contrast is created by color or texture.
Examples of contrasts and similarities in eclectic interiors
-
In the interior, it is possible to mix no more than 2-3 styles, so as not to lose the individuality of each of them and not to allow the mess. Designers prefer to mix modern and hi-tech, classics and baroque.
-
The game of contrasts and similarities is allowed. To create a harmonious atmosphere, one sign is chosen, uniting several styles around which a contrasting situation is built. Example: Hi-Tech table and an old sofa with soft upholstery can be combined with plain decor (pillows, figurines, lamps, etc.).
-
The abundance of decor, which means paintings, posters, mirrors and photos, decorative textiles, figurines, candlesticks, woven and wrought iron elements, and much more. Small items will help create the necessary contrast in the right places or soften the difference in styles.

Color design
Eclecticism does not limit designers in choosing the color scheme of the interior, but it is not recommended to combine more than 4-5 shades in this direction.
The background is important, that is, the color of walls, ceiling and floor. The most gaining of heterogeneous and multi -colored elements look against the background of a neutral palette or in muffled single -color tones.

Professionals recommend using shades in the decoration:
-
White and gray
-
beige, cream and brown
-
Light blue and blue
-
light green or olive
-
Pink, purple and purple in a highlighted interpretation.
But in choosing the color for furniture, textiles and accessories in the eclectic, there are no barriers. If you are a fan of bright and screaming shades, eclecticism is your style! Complexed patterns and smooth textures, lace patterns and chess are combined here.
Tip: You can create an eclectic interior without construction work or acquisition of new furniture – add compositions from small paintings or mirrors in different frames to the walls, hang multi -colored curtains on the windows, lay a variety of rugs on the floor and the situation will immediately be transformed.

How to choose furniture correctly
Eclecticism is a direction where the use of your favorite furniture is allowed without binding to a certain style. The main rule is that all furniture elements harmoniously fit into the overall picture. Using furniture, you can mix various interior directions, which form the basis of the eclectic style.
For example, a classic soft chair and a decorative fireplace will compose a company of wooden carved furniture in the style of baroque or new-fashioned high-tech. It is important to find the perfect binder “thread”, which will combine furniture elements (wood, similar patterns, color or shape, etc.).

Decor and lighting for eclectic interior
Decorative objects and lighting devices help to give integrity to the interior and at the same time perform certain functions in a particular room.
If the room seems not comfortable enough, add textiles (pillows, rugs, blankets, curtains, etc.), and they will help to connect the furniture or other parts of the situation performed in a single color scheme.
Monochrome interior will dilute bright elements or lighting devices. To create a greater contrast, a Hi-Tech chandelier is added to the classic or rustic household items.

It is important to pay attention to the design of the walls. Eclecticism often uses saturated tones for decoration vertical surfaces, graffiti and wallpaper with a large pattern are appropriate in this direction. Play in contrasts: a modern mirror on a brick wall, different in the subject and style of paintings, cold metal and warm velvet upholstery, and much more.

Finishing materials
In the eclectic, there are no specific requirements for finishing materials, their choice is due to styles that are supposed to be mixed.
For example, we give several decoration options, and which direction they correspond:
-
Cold shades of walls are appropriate when connecting high-tech and postmodernism
-
Brick masonry, metal installations and ceilings with intricate backlight are used for a combination of loft and minimalism
-
Wall upholstery with fabric, the use of decorative plaster, stucco molding and patterned borders are suitable when combining ampira, baroque, revival and rococo in a single space
-
The tree in the interior is used in the Scandinavian style, ethno, country or eco, allowing the mixing of all these directions.

We make rooms in the eclectic style
Each room in the house or apartment has functional features, consider several examples of design of individual premises.
Living room
This room is intended for communication and rest, and therefore there is certainly upholstered furniture in the living room. It is noteworthy that it is the sofa group, armchairs and other elements that often become the basis for developing interior design in the eclectic style.
Professionals recommend choosing areas where the open space, Scandil, loft, minimalism, antique, etc. are welcomed. Furniture, decor and textiles will help to give the room a complete look, avoiding the unsystematic pile of objects.

Tip: You can successfully combine several styles using a fireplace in the living room, real or decorative.
Fireplace
Bedroom
The place for sleeping should not be overloaded with rich shades, but to combine the styles themselves without sharp contrasts. The mixing of styles gravitating to natural materials and palette looks harmonious.
Soft tones, elegant lamps and decorative elements create a single bedroom space
The game of patterns
The contrast of neutral tones
Kitchen and dining room
Both premises, first of all, should be functional and practical, and therefore in the decoration of the floor, tiles or porcelain tiles with intricate patterns are often used. In kitchens, often a rural style with ethnic decorative elements or objects in the high-tech style is taken as a basis.
So wooden beams are quite combined with ultramodern household appliances, and multi -colored facades are in perfect harmony with brick walls painted white.
