Home decor, interior design tips for decorating in eclectic style

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Ankit and Anand Ojha, Principal Designers of Anand Atelier Associate, echoed, “Eclectic interiors is a combination of different eras, style and different bunch of elements which, when comes together create magic and give us statement spaces. One of the home décor trends that can mean many different things to many different people is eclectic style.”

Decorating with an eclectic style might be daunting but the duo advised:

• Decide your theme - Deciding a theme always help before we go crazy with the colours. This is what will help us in achieving a statement look as compared to a chaotic one. We can always start with a neutral colour palette and then expand it with our interior inventory, using pop up rug, toss cushions, side tables and floor lamps.
• Patterns and textures - Mixed patterns is a defining characteristic of eclectic design. Use artistic pillows or woven carpets to pleasantly incorporate many design eras into one space. When combined with other patterns, geometric forms, and even polka dots, for instance, may provide a captivating look.
• Furniture styles - Playing with furnitures of different styles and era is a fabulous way to beautify your space. Think of the traditional couch with carved legs alongside modern armchair and modern coffee table. For flaunting fabulous furniture find unique handcrafted pieces.
• Don't let it get messy or clutter - Eclectic doesn’t mean messy and overflowing with belongings. Even when it comes to the great art, less is still more! Make sure that objects don't get lost in the surrounding décor that you truly adore rather than a sentimental floor and shelves stuffed with decorations. Keep everything organised, and put your most prized treasures on display. So have fun while achieving eclectic design as there are no rules and regulations for such style. Mix and match of different eras, styles is what eclectic is all about.
