SHOPPING STYLE GUIDE:  Eclectic

All items available to purchase by clicking HERE

What it is: Eclectic style is the great equalizer. It reshuffles the rule book, mixing and matching old and new, East and West, luxe and humble, showy and quiet. It invites you to fill a space with objects you love and unique finds that strike your fancy. Simply put, it's you, curated. What it is not, however, is a free-for-all. If you toss a little of this, a little of that and a dash of the other into a room at random, it'll look like exactly what it is: a mess. The liberty and leeway that make eclectic style so appealing can also make it tricky — you'll need to be careful not to trip over the thin line between contrast and chaos. Why it works: When it's done well, eclectic décor broadcasts your confidence in your own style yet still adheres to the fundamentals of good design. You don't have to choose between profiles or periods; there's room for a range of favorites. Plus, isn't it fun to feel like you're getting away with something? You'll love it if... You can put together a smashing outfit from a jumble of sale-rack finds. Your iTunes mix skips from Bach to Bob Marley to the Black Keys. Matching furniture sets make you itchy. Friends tease you that you can never make up your mind. Purebreds are pretty, but mutts capture your heart.

Who doesn’t love a great statement chandelier? I just love these guys that can turn the glam in a room to 100%. Leave me a comment about your favorite!
