How can a passion for collectingchange the interior, what to replace the sofa in the living room with, what minimalist eclecticism looks like and why you need a large table - read in our article When American screenwriter and producer Tom Wheeler bought a villa on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza, he firmly decided to turn the new home into something completely special, and to reflect his love for eclecticism and vintage items as vividly as possible. Designer Ed agreed to bring the bright idea to lifeGodrich (Ed Godrich) filled the space with an eclectic mix of styles and objects. According to the designer, he tried to create a home that could equally successfully host noisy parties and serve sedate dinners.Ed Godric decided to take a risk, and insteadThe traditional sofa was replaced by three couches in the center of the living room, around which a whole collection of various armchairs was placed. The designer emphasized the height of the ceiling with vintage lamps. The dining room is deliberately decorated to the extrememinimalist. The thing is that this room is supposed to be used only in winter - in Ibiza, as long as the weather permits, all meals are served outdoors.Our opinion - Notice how great it is inThe owner's numerous collections are organized in this house. The butterflies are matched to the glass figurines on the wooden shelves, the vintage silk behind the glass enters into a dialogue with the carpet, the vinyl discs of the most unusual shapes, thanks to the black frames, match the chairs and table opposite, and the plates perfectly set off the chairs in the winter dining room. Isn't that a good idea? Why keep your dear trinkets under lock and key if you can decorate your interior so successfully with their help? Do you have several collections of cute but useless things in your home? Release them immediately! And our tips will help you understand how to do it correctly.

  • Create ensembles - magnets to magnets, watercolors to watercolors. You shouldn't mix up items from collections, even if you are almost sure of a fabulous result.
  • Choose a background - frames, shelves, boxes, even a glass display case, as long as your treasures are not displayed naked, unless, of course, you are planning to create a sculptural composition.
  • Work with color. This concerns not only the color scheme of the "background", but also the collectibles themselves. They should match each other and the details of the surrounding interior.
  • Make an accent.Are you proud of your lithograph collection? Group it on the wall in your living room and arrange the furniture so that all eyes fall on it. This way you will always have a great reason for an intellectual conversation with your guests.
  • Stimulate.Who said that you collect trinkets? Any collection is a great motivator for action: souvenirs from travels charge you with energy and inspire new adventures, a collection of dried flowers will surely invite you to the park more than once, cross-stitched pillows will hint at continuing your handicraft creativity, and children's drawings will make your offspring even more actively search for their own style in painting. The main thing here is to find the right place for each collection, and boredom will never visit your home again.
