Eclectic design is colorful and imaginative, taking on aspects from various time periods, cultures, and design styles. Though any theme you choose for your bathroom remodel will take on a personal bent, an eclectic theme will display even more individuality. This is because the rules of this genre are more open and dependent on personal instinct and taste. So have fun, be original, mix and match. But don’t forget that eclectic does not equate with chaos. On the contrary, anything does not go. As you find what you like from the flea market to the specialty store, you should find something cohesive to tie it all together: perhaps a unifying color or pattern, even a traditional design scheme turned inside out. Here are some ideas to get you started in one of the most important rooms of the house: the bathroom.
Patterns can be overpowering if applied everywhere. You wouldn’t go out wearing plaid pants with your striped shirt, for instance. The same idea goes in the bathroom. Even when you want to be bold, do so selectively. For a comfortable patchwork focus, for instance, install woven, patchwork curtains, place a patchwork screen in the corner, and design a comfortable, checkered cushion on a rocking chair. On the floors, walls, and ceiling, though, keep the colors neutral with soothing tans and beiges that coordinate well with your patterns. Or, do things the other way around, with patterned wallpaper, mosaic floor tiles, and fixtures with solid, coordinating colors.
Eclectic experts know all about purposeful mixing. Dark and light contrast one another and also balance each other out. In the bathroom, you can go with ultra-bold, modern fixtures that incorporate sleek reds and blues, with a classic white background. Or, blend dark furniture with soft pastels. You can also go with darker accents and room borders with classic egg white tubs, toilets, and sinks. The goal is to use color as a unifying theme, going with darks and lights or choosing just a few basic colors with many faces. For these dualities and everything in between, the possibilities are endless and all within reach of your eclectic vision. When you’ve got your concept down pat, contact a certified bathroom remodeler to help you install, restore, and invigorate your space.
