Eclectic decorating style
Eclectic style is the deliberate collision of the other five — one modern line, one traditional silhouette, one industrial material, held together by confidence rather than a formula. It is the hardest style to get wrong by being too careful, because the whole point is that nothing has to match. It rewards a good eye over a strict rule.

Furniture categories to prioritize
A general overview of what to look for in this style — descriptive categories, never a retailer or brand.
Seating
Mix one vintage-silhouette piece with one clean modern piece, deliberately unmatched.
Lighting
A different fixture style in every room rather than one matched system.
Storage
Mixed materials — wood, metal, and woven, side by side.
Textiles
Pattern-mixing by scale, not colour — one large pattern, one small, one solid.
