The Eclectic Edge In Bedroom Furniture

by Kelly Kim

It’s a good thing we no longer dress the way we do since it’s how others think we should. These days, the trend is no trend. The better news is our homes have been benefiting as well. Eclectic is the word to describe how we’ve been able to make our homes come alive to those modern-vintage-exotic trios. It’s a breather to know we’ve finally broken out of the chains of traditional and ventured into out-of-the-way. More than anything, the autonomy of being able to find that harmony in a mismatch is what makes everything a surefire hit.

Eclecticism is the motivation for those who’ve been walking this less traveled road of interior design. People tend to choose a more spontaneous, freedom-evoking style since it creates a stronger sense of personality both for the end product and the one who put it together. But it’s not precisely as easy as it looks because eclectic designs only work when done within a zone of harmony running along each of those pieces of furniture. That zone is quite difficult to create that’s why it takes an important person with real talent to keep those misfits on the track.

That doesn’t mean you can’t learn it, though. First things first – you’ll need to decide on a focal point for your design. It could a paint color, a couch, a side table or any piece of furniture, or the fluidity of your curtains and other fabrics within your area of focus. This is where you begin the design process. Once you’ve decided on a focal point, you can go look for stuff that blend into it.

There are a few staples of eclectic design that you might want to incorporate into your master plan. For example, contemporary and country go well together and, as a pair, are known as Modern Country. Its appeal lies in the marriage of industrial and technological touches. Another example of an eclectic design that works is the mixture of modern furniture and and tropical-inspired furniture. The highlight of this combo is the way the contemporary part ends up complimenting the tropical.

A good eclectic design gives you the impression that the pieces weren’t actually put there at once but collected in a certain chronology and somehow fell into place by accident. The point of an eclectic attempt is to have everything from different furniture genres blending together and sealed by a cohesive element somewhere in those combinations.

What’s great about eclecticism is it tends to quantity to a exact level of energy that results from the dynamics of multiple theming in bedroom furniture. Particular colors such as earth tones are quite flexible and serve to counteract a potentially loud effect created by an eclectic motivation.
