What’s eclectic home decor? It’s not basically a style, it’s a blend of colors, patterns, styles and epochs doing it so effortlessly and organically that it seems that these elements have been created for each other. Let’s see how to create eclectic kitchens so that they looked cohesive showing off your personality and style.
Mix And Match
The key to creating an eclectic interior is to mix and match different objects using contrasting colors and even epochs! These can be various furniture items, accessories and decorations, even porcelain and glasses, and depending on what you choose, display them with a contrasting detail – a backsplash or a shelf that doesn’t match at all!

Include Repetitions
To add a cohesive feel to the space, use visual repetitions, which will help you bring your kitchen design together. Choose a color or geometric shape that is repeated across ornaments and in pictures and wall hangings or even some parts of your kitchen cabinets. If your room has a brightly colored focal point, this would be a strong color to repeat in accents throughout the room. Make sure your overall color palette fits well together and that it doesn’t overwhelm the onlookers when trying to create a colorful kitchen.

Incorporate Vintage
Upcycling is a great way to add lived in touches to your kitchen design. Add small elements such as turning cool-looking wine or gin bottles into candle holders or vases for wildflowers; or make vintage furniture like shabby chic chairs, traditional pub bar stools, or even an old country kitchen-style dresser a focal point of your kitchen design. Vintage items look especially cool paired with sleek minimalist or modern design and add life to it.
