Modern Eclectic: How to Get the Look
MAY 07|4 min read
Modern eclectic presents that perfect balance between the past and the present, the nostalgic and the modern.
If you love experimenting with colour and textures, or collecting meaningful pieces for your space, this style might be the one for you.
Mix prints for maximum impact
A good way to get started with modern eclectic styling is to layer print upon print to create a unique one-of-a-kind feel. Do you have a set of printed sheets you love? Try playing with those by adding a beautiful vintage-look rug as seen here.
Pieces that speak a thousand words
Take your look to the next level by leaning into character pieces that pack a punch. Memorable furniture elements, like a rattan chest of drawers, vintage-look rugs and wall art, can bring interest to your space, enhancing it with depth and nostalgia.
Bring balance and contrast with home decor
Anything goes when it comes to modern eclectic home decor. If you’re looking for a place to start, pick a chair in an interesting colour, then layer the space with cushions and throws in complementing colours. Bring in unique ceramic pieces and finish with floral elements. But remember – the best eclectic rooms have a common theme that connects the various styles. Connect the dots with a harmonious theme – a common material or colour story works beautifully.
The final touch - a gallery wall
A gallery wall suits modern eclectic styling perfectly. Pick your hero piece, then layer in some eclectic artwork, such as a beautiful floral painting or print. Finally, add a personal touch with mementos from your favourites trips or images of your loved ones.
