If you’re looking to create a unique interior design by blending different styles, an eclectic approach may be just what you need! In this FloerTube video, we’ll introduce you to this style and show you how to achieve it in your own home. Whether you’re seeking inspiration or practical advice, we’ve got you covered!
The basics of an eclectic interior
Get your paintbrushes ready because this style of living is versatile! In an eclectic interior, you have the freedom to express your own taste and interpretation. The most important aspect of this bold interior design style is the ability to combine different living and interior design styles into one. This combination is the basis of an eclectic interior style. Unlike other interior styles such as industrial, Scandinavian, and classic interiors, which are limited to certain colours, materials, and fabrics, the eclectic style allows for much more flexibility. To understand the basics of eclectic interior design, we need to look to history and different art movements, such as the Cobra movement, that laid the foundation for this style. In an eclectic interior, the focus is on combining favourite aspects of different styles and bringing them together into one cohesive look. The possibilities are endless, making an eclectic interior a dream come true for anyone looking to make their home unique and personal.
You can learn to combine!
The golden rule
More people than you might expect have eclectic furnishings. The golden rule of this living style is that combining different styles can be learned. The foundation of eclectic decor lies in the combination of various styles into one. This combination creates a mix-and-match of different features from a range of home styles, such as hotel chic interiors, modern living styles, and bohemian furnishings. This combination lays the foundation of your eclectic interior and is what we call the golden rule.
Distinctively colourful
Eclectic decor is eye-catching and easily recognisable. This style blends various design and interior styles to create a vibrant and cohesive look. As such, a key aspect of this style of living is the use of bold and diverse colours. So, grab your paintbrushes and prepare to unleash your creativity because the crazier, the better! Pink walls, purple furniture, and colourful rugs are all welcome in this eclectic style.

More is more
An eclectic interior design incorporates several styles into one, resulting in a unique and exciting space. Unlike minimalist interiors, where “less is more,” an eclectic interior embraces the “more is more” philosophy. Rather than limiting yourself to a certain amount of furniture and accessories, this style encourages you to add to your collection and experiment with different styles and materials. You can mix and match small trinkets, choose accessories in a variety of styles, and even incorporate a teddy fabric chair with a high-pile rug. The beauty of an eclectic interior is that you can truly express your personal style and preferences without the constraints of traditional design rules. There are no strict guidelines on which materials, fabrics, or colours to use, making it a liberating and creative style. In an eclectic interior, there are no limits!
Say it in NEON
Neon letters on the wall can create a real eye-catcher in your home, as you may have seen in one of the episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians. You can choose your own text and colour for this accessory, making it a unique addition to your home. Whether it’s a fun quote, catchy text, or valuable sentence, saying it in neon will add a cool touch to your space.

Do the eclectic boogie at your home!
To create an eclectic interior, feel free to mix and match colours, patterns, prints, and materials. Dare to be adventurous and choose colours that you like. For example, you can paint one wall dark blue and another purple. In an eclectic living style, colours have become an essential part of the atmosphere. Combine different colours, materials, fabrics, and furniture to create a unique and special atmosphere in your home. Choose a velour sofa with a cool table with steel base and vintage accessories to add to the eclectic look. Don’t be afraid to be colourful! Remember, an eclectic interior is all about mix and match. If you have guts and are willing to try something new, then the eclectic living style is perfect for you!
Which Floer will match eclectic interior?
A unique living style calls for a unique floor. That’s why we love to combine an eclectic living style with one of our unique flooring collections. For example, the XL Country House Laminate offers planks that are more than 32 cm wide. These wide laminate floors provide a distinctive foundation in this particular style of living and go particularly well with colourful surroundings. However, opting for a neutral light oak base is also possible! It gives you the opportunity to go all out in your eclectic decor. Whether you choose a vintage and aged Reclaimed Wood Laminate floor, one of the Nature Rigid Click Vinyl floors, or the Herringbone Vinyl floors with register embossing structure, with the right floor as a foundation, your eclectic interior will stand out.
If you want the ultimate foundation for your new living style, consider a unique Whalebone Vinyl floor. These XL Whalebone Vinyl floors offer the foundation you’ve been dreaming of.
