Eclectic Coastal

Furniture: Lines, finishes and materials of the pieces in a room are tied together with paint, fabric or a more refined or rough or antiqued paint.

Fabrics: An eclectic look is partly defined by the multi-tude of fabrics, whether they be patterned, textured or both. Choose a color scheme and stick with a neutral as your grounding force, and add to it with colored and textured solids and patterns and trims, tas-sels or fringe.

Finishes: A combination of finishes and textures sets an eclectic look apart from the rest. source HGTV

Colors: The palette can vary, but it's best to stick with a few neutrals to help tie all the elements together.

Eclectic style encompasses a variety of periods and styles and is brought together through the use of color, texture, shape and finish.
