Eclectic Design: Elements That Make a Design Unique

Eclectic design is the blending of elements from different design styles and eras to create a harmonious and unique space. Eclectic design thrives on the idea that each element has a story to tell, inviting homeowners to mix different patterns and textures to create a curated yet cohesive space. It’s about embracing the unconventional and eccentric elements that make a space uniquely yours.

The Essence of Eclectic Design: A Blend of Diversity

At the heart of eclectic design is a mix of contrasting styles, making it a dynamic approach to interior decorating. “Eclectic spaces are like visual stories,” says Panji, lead interior designer at Homprep. “Because it’s not just a mix of furniture or interior decor trends, but rather combining elements that have different characters, histories, and personalities, according to the owner’s mood.”

The eclectic design mix allows you to place a classic design vintage chair with a modern lamp, or add a contemporary modern artwork. Each element is different, but complements each other, creating a harmonious balance that is not only attractive but also comfortable.

In this article we will explain some of the key elements that make a room a distinctive piece of eclectic design.

   Eclectic designs often embrace a variety of furniture, colors, and bold accents. “The key is balance,” Panji explains. To create visual balance, non-monotonous walls are an important element. That way, you can add various decorative accents, to provide focal points that enrich the atmosphere of the room.

   
   

2. Personal and Unique Touch

What really sets eclectic design apart is the personal touch it brings. It’s about creating a space that feels authentically yours. That touch could be a collection you own such as elephant ivory, vintage items, or anything else. “Taking it to the owner’s personality to make it feel personal and express their creativity,” Panji said.

3. A Mix of Time and Culture

Eclectic design also has design characteristics that combine various styles and eras. The contrasting combination of old and new, or various cultures in many countries, gives eclectic spaces their own appeal. "Eclectic design is not tied to a particular style, it can be a combination of Afrohemian style with traditional Indonesian, which will look elegant," explained Panji. The harmony of time and culture is what makes eclectic special.
