Eclectic style encompasses a variety of periods and styles and is brought together through the use of color, texture, shape and finish. Here’s how it breaks down:
Colors: The palette can vary, but it’s best to stick with a few neutrals to help tie all the elements together. In the red and gold room pictured, creams and browns are used to ground the palette so the great design isn’t lost among the many.

Furniture: Lines, finishes, and materials of the pieces in a room are tied together with paint, fabric or a more refined or roughed-up finish.
Finishes: A combination of finishes and textures sets an eclectic look apart from the rest. The burnished bronze lamp bases contrast with a black-and-white box but tie in with the golden tones in the ceiling and wall behind.

  • Color, the creator of illusion and maker of mood

  • Line, the implied direction or boundary of an object can be thick, thin, jagged, organic, mechanical(Guides the eye to focal point) Line sets Form

  • Form, the overall shape of any object (when the eye draws to a focal point it is good to have another object in the room with the same form.) Organic, or manmade

  • Mass, the bulk of objects that occupies space (how open or closed the room is)

  • Texture, the touch me, feel me of matter (Flooring, Furniture, Upholstery, Curtains, etc..)

All artists, whether painters, sculptors, architects, or interior decorators work with these same basic elements to achieve certain effects, all of which must work together to form a unified whole.
