What is eclectic style? Join TD architects to discover how eclectic interior design blends multiple styles, colors, and materials in a harmonious, creative, and distinctive way.

What is eclectic style?

Eclectic style is a prominent interior design trend thanks to its ability to combine various styles within the same space. Without being confined to a fixed formula, eclectic brings freedom, creativity, and individuality. This is one of the styles highly favored by TD architects’ clients and has been applied in many of TD’s recent projects.

Key characteristics of Eclectic style

Diverse combination with intention

Unlike complete spontaneity, eclectic focuses on thoughtful combinations. Colors, materials, furniture, and accessories are selected to create focal points while maintaining overall harmony.

Flexible color palette

Eclectic often uses neutral tones as the base (white, beige, light gray), then accentuates with bold colors such as yellow, cobalt blue, or brick red. This makes the space lively without overwhelming the eyes.

Varied furniture and materials

• Furniture: A modern sofa can be paired with a classic wooden table, or an industrial leather chair with a vintage rug.
• Materials: The interplay of natural wood, metal, glass, and raw fabrics creates depth and a unique touch.

Emphasis on decorative accessories

Accessories play a vital role in eclectic design: mirrors, artworks, ceramics, or lighting fixtures can all become highlights, as long as they are arranged with intention.

Applying eclectic style in interior design

Eclectic living room

A modern sofa paired with a vintage coffee table, geometric patterned rug, and artistic wall paintings. Natural light is maximized to highlight the material combinations.

Eclectic bedroom

A minimalist wooden bed combined with a classic bedside lamp, vibrant bedding, and a handwoven rug. This is the perfect space to express personality while keeping a cozy feel.

Eclectic office

An eclectic workspace creates openness and creativity. A combination of industrial wooden desks with modern swivel chairs, plus a few unique decor items, inspires productivity.
