Eclectic Living

i always say my decor style is very modern - but in reality i'm hands down eclectic - when it's all put together and you walk into a room of mine, it's a mix of different elements and design .. so i need to start saying i'm "eclectic with a modern vibe"

here's a few eclectic looks i found:

love the peacock rug, reto chair, butterfly art, and rustic table mix!

this not the best girly game room?!

mix of traditional with contemporary

loven' the old church chairs re-purposed here!

acrylic, mirrors, wood, leather, cowhide, metal - mixing all the elements here

loven' the play on the British flag

works, right?!

hello farm kitchen mixed with shabby chic

how cute is that Westie (i had one named Mr. Riley)!
loven' all the elements of old and new, mix of colors and fabrics

let me just say - none of the above represent my "style" - but all have great elements to them, no?

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT ECLECTIC DECOR?
ANY OF THE ABOVE PHOTOS INSPIRE/WORK FOR YOU?

  1. I love the eclectic look! Some times true modern style seems to cold and boring to me. I love these pictures!

    XOXO

  2. I love an interior that is not homogenous. A room with layers is far more interesting than one without. I like mixing modern with traditional elements to ground a space.

  5. I'm with you on eclectic decor. I always think I'm leaning one way or another, but when I look in magazines or even do a little shopping I find myself picking all different things and wanting to put them together.

    I love the pictures you posted here. A lot of terrific elements. This is style I wish I could master in my own home. Kinda looks like a bit of a mumble jumble when I try it. Yikes!

  6. Totally love. I'm a big fan of eclectic interiors. They're far more interesting and teasing to the eye.

    Happy Thursday, sweets! xoxo

  7. I love it- I don't have a style... because I just put a little bit of everything that makes me happy into a room :)

  8. I am definetly eclectic. The 1st photo is my favorite. I love a mix of traditional/transitional and the clean lines of mid-century modern.

  9. Our place is pretty eclectic as we have furniture from my grandmother, my husbands generation, new stuff, old ikea crap from when we were first married....but somehow it all works because as a home decor sewer I usually stay on top of the trend as far as colour for tosses/drapes/slipcovers. Like that first photo's bamboo green chair and then later the hot pink mirror... Great collection here!

  10. Yes, great elements in all rooms. I'm eclectic too. Love the Anthro look, but like modern pieces as well. I think it's the best way to go because you can change it up easily ;)
