Expressive design of a private house in the eclectic style

Eclecticism, as a mixture and unification of diverse views, ideas and styles, is applicable both in art, philosophy, fashion and architecture. As for interior design, the eclectic room, as a rule, is a mix of European and Oriental, modern and ancient, contrasting and neutral, enclosed in the general framework of a vision of comfort and coziness by a designer or homeowner. An unusual and even exotic interior is formed using furniture and decor, textiles or souvenirs brought from trips to other countries. When elements of other cultures and even temporal epochs are woven into the canvas of the modern interior, an original, indescribable image of the room with its absolutely distinctive charm is obtained. For some, the eclectic design of the room seems too elaborate, cluttered and even eccentric. For others, eclecticism is always present in one’s own home - an old modern laptop table, inherited from my grandmother’s inheritance, has an ultramodern laptop, souvenirs brought from a trip abroad ten years ago and are located on shelves just made to order.

We would like to illustrate how cozy, comfortable and at the same time functional eclecticism can be in a modern design by the example of the design of one private house, how harmonious objects with a different history of origin, operation and stylistic affiliation can be. As soon as we get into the premises of this eclectic house, we see how interesting and colorful the mix of different cultures, styles and time periods of our life can be.

We begin an eccentric excursion from the most spacious room in the house - a living room connected to a free-plan kitchen. The first thing that catches your eye in this bright room is the original design of the window openings. Not only the bright elements of the stained-glass windows are eye-catching, but also a non-trivial approach to the facing of the near-window space. “Withstand” such brightness, as well as a variety of wall decor, only the snow-white, smooth finish of the walls of the room can do that does not distract attention and serves as an excellent, neutral background.

It may seem to some that the room is too loaded with furniture, decor, all kinds of details, located, it seems, in a chaotic manner. But for homeowners, this way of organizing space is the most convenient, comfortable and cozy.

A large snow-white sofa with many bright decorative pillows and two comfortable chairs with leather upholstery made up the soft area of ​​the living room. A small antique stand table of the original model completed the image of this functional segment.

Here, in the living room, there is a workplace for two, represented by a bright blue desk and the same tone with metal chairs and armchairs with snow-white soft substrates. In this area for work and creativity, everything is bright and varied - from lighting devices to writing accessories.

Another place for study, creativity and work is located in the opposite corner of the room. Being near a large window allows this functional segments to remain well lit most of the time. For the dark time of the day there is a table lamp with an original design of the base, which does not immediately strike the eye against the backdrop of bright and varied decor items in this area.

Decorative elements, like a kaleidoscope with colorful glasses of various shapes and sizes, fill the room, but at the same time preserve a single image of space for relaxation and communication, hosting guests and creative work.

It is completely unobstructed from the living room that you can get into the kitchen area, a large open doorway does not interfere with traffic between the rooms. The kitchen space is furnished with no less love for the combination of old and new, European and Eastern within the same functional zone.

Despite the apparent fragmentation of the interiors, in different functional segments of home ownership there are common design solutions, a color palette and decoration methods that combine different ideas and styles under the general concept of home improvement. Snow-white finish, the use of wood to decorate window and doorways, floor plinths and the manufacture of furniture elements, the use of lighting fixtures of similar models, the presence of living plants - these design solutions help to combine the living rooms into one bright, variegated, but such a unique setting.

Another small sitting area is located in the adjacent from the large living room. Here we see a repetition in the way of decorating the premises, designing the windows of the floor covering, which unites all the premises of an eclectic house with a common concept. But at the same time, the mini-living room has its own unique charm. Which, like a mosaic, consists of various elements with a different stylistic idea into one common, harmonious canvas with a beautiful pattern.

Comfortable corner sofas with many decorative pillows provide comfortable seating in the relaxation area, conversations and receiving guests.

Only at first glance it may seem that all the decorative elements, tables, stands and lighting devices are made using different materials, constructive and stylistic ideas. The general outline of the execution of decorative elements, textiles in all rooms echoes the theme of combining European and Eastern ideas under one roof of an eclectically decorated house.

Let's look into the private apartments - the bedroom. Here, amid pastel tones, the finishes are on display for both unique pieces of furniture and exclusive decor elements. An unusual chest of drawers with original decor has become the center of attraction of all glances, despite the fact that in the bedroom such a central focal object is usually a bed.

An elegant bedside table, an unusual desktop floor lamp and the presence of an old dial telephone - everything in this eclectic bedroom works to create an original, but at the same time outwardly attractive interior. Despite the many decorative details and non-trivial ways of decorating the room, the whole bedroom looks bright, its palette in pastel colors contributes to relaxation, a relaxing rest and a good sleep.

In the backyard of a private house, we see no less eclectic surroundings in an outdoor recreation area. Wooden loungers with metal frames, comfortable chairs with wicker elements, an original stand table - together made up a very harmonious alliance for arranging the leisure segment and sunbathing.

Unusual lamps in oriental style are in perfect harmony with a variety of vegetation growing both in the open ground and in all kinds of pots and tubs. A colorful print of bright pillows adds color to a picturesque place to relax.

For the eclectic style, there is nothing strange in using furniture from various materials in one composition. For example, rattan wicker chairs are perfectly combined with wooden garden furniture, ceramic or clay coasters and decor. With the help of the central element - a table and street flooring, all items of furniture and decor are combined into one functional sector, balanced by vegetation and lighting fixtures made in the same style.
