Together with the designer, Tatiana Zaitseva we tell what finish to choose for an eclectic interior, how to combine different items and choose the decor.
Eclectic in the interior, compatibility of non-compatible - Trend 2020. What is its uniqueness and popularity? For eclectics, the complete absence of rules, a mixture of new and old, modern and past, but at the same time the fine line between spectacular and restrained is always observed. Eclecticism is one of the most complex styles, because balancing between a mantle and a competent combination is quite difficult. It is important to choose the items so that they do not lose their individuality, and at the same time successfully complemented each other. We tell how to act.
1 Supplepen modern vintage furniture
Table, chairs, small dressers and shop windows pick up in a vintage style. And in addition to them, you can put modern chairs and sofas. Choosing furniture from different materials (metal, wood or glass), oriented on their proximity in color. Upholstered furniture should be comfortable, quite large size, so that it performs its main function.
2 Use no more than 4 bright shades
Color - the basis that will help combine all objects of the situation. Color palette Choose to your taste, but use no more than 4 bright shades, otherwise it turns out too very pestro. Natural clean shades are perfectly suitable for eclectic interiors. In those rooms where the family spends a lot of time, use the reception of the "flow" of one shade to another. For example, a light-milk sofa can be supplemented with bright pillows and the same bright paint duplicate in accessories: on the picture on the wall or in the decor.
3 Do neutral background
Large surfaces (walls and ceiling) must emphasize furniture and not stand out, so make them neutral, careless shades. Seems boring? Then paint one wall with bright color or place a variety of paintings on it, use a bright carpet or re-adjust the windows with color curtains. It is important that such registration is easy and fairly budgetically transformed and removed if necessary.
4 Choose a finish depending on the dominant style.
The finish depends on the styles that you combine. So, if you used the classic, then the ceiling will be appropriate. If the interior is more loft, it is better to make ceiling beams.
In the wall decoration, use paint, wallpaper or brick, tile or decorative plaster. Do not be afraid of experiments, try, for example, graffiti on the walls.
On the floor, it will be perfectly watching a set of parquet or an interesting tile with a pattern.
5 Use as many textiles as possible.
Textiles can be a lot in various manifestations: curtains, pillows, blankets, decorative elements on the walls, furniture (fabric kettle or headboard). On the example of this bedroom you can see that even the facades of the cabinet are made of color velor.
6 Pick the right decor
Decorative elements can correspond to the overall setting of the room or, on the contrary, to be contrasting and attracting attention.
Eclecticism - style for those who like experiments and is not afraid to risk to create a unique personal space. Eclecticism will allow not to give up things and furniture close to your heart (for example, from the wardrobe of your grandmother) and at the same time stay in trend.
