By selecting similar tones in fabric on the finely crafted formal chairs with the comfortable modern couch, the designer allowed this living room space to be harmonious.
Furniture is linked based on shape, fabric or finish. Finely crafted formal chairs can be teamed up with a comfortable modern couch when there are common elements such as colour, pattern, scale, texture, finish or shape. This doesn’t mean every piece needs to be predictable; beads, trim and fringe can be added to unique blends of patterns and textures that share similar tones.
Accessories are varied, but have a common element like colour, theme or texture. An antique Victorian mirror could be paired with some modern metal vases and candle holders, carved wood African heads could be matched with antique wood suitcases with the common element – wood. Since accessories are varied, neutral colours including white, cream, gray, black, brown and taupe are preferred on the walls to join the space together.

The eclectic design is really hard to point out. The easiest way to define this style is if there are two or more styles combined.

Hi Johnbo, I usually get inspiration from what is going on in my life. For example for this post I had to do a homework assignment on the different types of design styles. For some posts I get ideas from friends, family and neighbours, sometimes from a current event in the news. Hope this helps. I liked your post on how reliant we are to PowerPoint presentations. Keep it up!
