Freedom of action and thought is the main secret of eclecticism, but here you have to be very careful so as not to break the fine line between contrast and chaos. 
Is it possible with the help of absolutely diverseobjects to create a harmonious design? Here's what Christina Brook thinks about this: Sure, but it comes with a lot of effort, thought and creativity. It is then that eclecticism takes on not only a unique look, but also becomes logically justified. Christina Brook There are several aspects that turn eclecticism into a work of art: furniture, color, fabrics, decoration.
- Furniture is allowed as classical forms, and absolutely non-standard;
- Different colors can be used. But it's better to choose a few neutral shades to tie all the elements together;
- As for fabrics, this is a very important component in creating an "eclectic species". Various prints are used in upholstery, wallpaper, carpets;
- A combination of decorative materials and textures.
The philosophy of eclecticism is simple: the combination of elements or specific styles of different periods within one project. And the highest goal of eclecticism is to create a space of unique content. Christina Brooke

The main color is walls, floor, ceiling; then secondary - tables, chairs, wardrobes, sofas; and two or three bright colors for interior details (pillows, bulbs, lamps).
