What is Eclectic Design Style
Eclecticism derives from a Greek word that means “choose the best,” hinting at a style that is based on carefully-chosen elements assembled from a wide range of influences.
It was considered trendy for students and is now gaining more popularity for its support of ecological values and sustainability, with a preference for refurbished furniture and everyday consumer products converted into practical accessories.
Hand-me-downs and furniture found on the street are placed next to store-bought items and furniture pieces, creating a uniquely personal look made from multiple items that work well together.
Typical Colors
The typical eclectic color palette is very diverse, from red to green, yellow, turquoise, ochre, and grey. There are no real rules for colors or materials that would limit the freedom of this style.
