Well, it can’t be doubted that we don’t feel satisfied with only one decoration style. Or, we are confused about deciding the style that we want to apply the most. Only applying one style feels like can’t represent your imagination of the house version that you want. Here, applying the eclectic decoration style is the best thing you can do.
Basically, there are some kinds of mixing and matching techniques that you can do for eclectic decor, those are
- Mixing different decoration styles
- Mixing different eras
- Mixing different colors
- Mixing different materials
- Mixing different patterns

From all of those choices, if you want the simple one, you can do the color mixing. It is really common and quite easy to do. However, of course, you still need to find the right color to be mixed. You should be able to know well about the color tones so that you won’t do the wrong color mixing and ruin the decoration impression.
To do the color mixing for your eclectic decoration, we advise you to find the color scheme first. It means that you should decide the main or the dominating color to be made as the concept of the decoration. With this, the decoration won’t be seen as random and complicated. After you find the right color scheme, you can then decide on the shades or tones that fit the color scheme you choose. You’ll find it easier by using this technique to do the color mixing. Here we have prepared some colorful eclectic decoration ideas to be your reference.
