Eclectic style

Interior designers have long used the trick of pairing differing styles with one another to great effect, and it is easy to recreate with a few details. Highlight a love-worn kitchen table with contemporary ceramic kitchenware; top a leather sofa with richly patterned cushions or a velvet sofa with satin smooth ones and place decorative pieces into unexpected places where you would not normally find them. The look is all about creating a room that is perfect in its imperfection.
