What is Eclectic Design Style

Eclecticism derives from a Greek word that means “choose the best,” hinting at a style that is based on carefully-chosen elements assembled from a wide range of influences.  

It was considered trendy for students and is now gaining more popularity for its support of ecological values and sustainability, with a preference for refurbished furniture and everyday consumer products converted into practical accessories.

Hand-me-downs and furniture found on the street are placed next to store-bought items and furniture pieces, creating a uniquely personal look made from multiple items that work well together.
