In many homes, you will find years of accumulated furnishings that are the result of impulsive purchases. Often, people buy something because they like it – without thinking: – does it fit with their existing furniture; – are they planning to replace older pieces?
Such thoughtless purchases can result in a space looking disorganised, and many people believe that this naturally creates a sense of eclectic harmony. However, the end result may be that such a home becomes a ‘warehouse effect’ rather than a tastefully put together interior.
The kitchen in the picture, however, is a perfect example of how eclectic style is not a random assortment of elements, but a consciously designed and thought-out space where every little detail is in harmony with each other.
Contemporary eclectic is one of the most exciting trends in the world of interior design, perfectly balancing elements of different styles to create a unique yet harmonious overall effect. The kitchen shown here is a great example of this, blending different aesthetic influences while remaining functional and attractive.
