Practice Balance
Make it a goal to find balance in scale and symmetry. Similar lines create design harmony, even if the pieces are different styles, textures, or from different periods. Don’t sacrifice organization for diversity: as you determine the decor you’ll incorporate into your eclectic design, don’t forget that the room is meant to be lived in. Consider baskets, bookshelves, drinks trays, and card tables. These elements lend a cozy, lived-in atmosphere to your room.
