Adventures in Mixing and Matching – Make Use of Everything In An Eclectic Design!

Are you an eclectic design enthusiast? Do you find joy in making something extraordinary from nothing? Mixing and matching colors, shapes, textures and items from all over the house with your own creative touch can be a rewarding experience.

What’s the secret? Learning to take into account the usefulness of each item, understanding the harmony between colors and the disposal of what you are no longer using – it all makes a difference. Transformations are only limited by imagination and can be as simple as a small update or as complex as a whole interior makeover. It can also be interesting to experiment and create multiple scenarios.

Make use of the resources you already have while getting creative with common items! Paint with muted colors, incorporate meaningful objects and choose textures that make you feel at home. You can buy cheap items to decorate or even homemade pieces to add personality. Be mindful of your actions and you’ll have lasting satisfaction with your design.

Reimagine

Didn’t like the floor tiles you put in years ago? Not a problem! Take inspiration from your travels and culture to create new floors. Refresh your kitchen by painting the bloody-red countertop and presenting over-the-counter accessories. Add subtle light to walls with a touch of shimmery wallpaper.

The possibilities to create a unique concept are virtually endless. There are many sites loaded with inspiring interiors that can help you stretch your imagination and come up with the perfect way to reimagine your existing space.

Save

Space can be saved by opting for multi-function pieces. These can range from staircases with drawers and upholstered benches that can also be used as tables and shelves. Think outside the box and begin by asking questions and doing research on cost effective materials that can save you a few pennies.

When reusing items consider their size, shape, texture and color. With these elements all are sure to synergistically coalesce and that is really how eclectic design works! Have fun putting together what you have ever since sustainability has gained traction.

Interior Design Choices

Mixing and matching can also apply to other parts of your design. For example you may decide to blend modern classics with traditional furniture or choose furniture with brighter colors. You can also mix up different wall materials like wood and stone.

Rich fabrics and materials can add a unique touch to any room’s design. Look for fabrics with interesting textures and colors that can balance each other and keep the room grounded, like adding a neutral color to an area with a lot of patterns and colors.

Find Inspiration and Shine

Sneak peeks form inspiring interiors can be key when mixing-and-matching items. If you want to try something different, look for ideas on different blogs and online magazines. With careful planning, you can create a standout look that is bound to make your home the talk of the town.

Also, if you are looking to draw eyes to certain specific items of your interior design, you can add personal touches to turn them into statement pieces. Add small objects with colors and forms that break the “rules” of decorating, they add depth to your design.
