Indulge in an Eclectic Mix at Da Rocha Interiors

Achieving a beautiful eclectic interior is easier said than done. We’ve asked the professionals from Da Rocha Interiors to help us achieve the look. Here they share five ways to create an indulge in an eclectic design scheme in your home.

Consider The Space

Don’t get caught up in the details of the room before you have considered the layout and placement of key furniture items in your desired eclectic scheme. Decide upfront where your big ticket items will be placed in the room. In the living room, things such as tables, sofas and consoles will need to be best positioned to create a comfortable and inviting space.

2. Mix Textures and Patterns

Eclectic schemes often work best with a lovely mix of fabrics, patterns, colours and textures in a room. Play around with different materials – include wood with metal, plush fabrics with streamlined materials. Incorporating both rough and smooth textures adds interest and will certainly help you create a dreamy eclectic room you’ll love.

3. Carry The Look Throughout Your Home

The very nature of an eclectic design style is that is is varied, but in order to create flow in your home, you’ll need to have each room complement the others. Carry your eclectic theme throughout your abode to create a sense of flow and depth and create a seamless design that won’t feel disjointed.

4. Mix Furniture Styles

What makes a room feel eclectic is that there is a mix of styles and design periods captured in one space. Don’t be afraid to include your vintage cabinet and your modern table in the same room. The key here is to consider balance and scale before placing any items in an eclectic scheme. Consider the size of your items and if appropriate, be bold and embrace a mix of styles and items, even if they are from different centuries.

5. Skilful Use of Colour

Use colour to harmonise your eclectic mix. Mix and match your colours as you like, but remember to bring balance to your room. As a tip, if you like bold colours, don’t let them appear haphazardly in your space. Spread them around the room so that they work to create a designer scheme with skilful use of colour. Below we see the skilful use of black and gold shining through in various items around the room – creating a wonderful mix that anchors the space.
