Imagine stepping into a room where every piece—lights, furniture, rugs—plays its own unique note, yet together, they form a harmonious, orchestrated rhythm.
Much like jazz, curating eclectic interiors thrives on intentional juxtaposition; a space
where seemingly disparate things fit in perfect harmony to create a masterpiece.
What might feel jarring at first, begins to grow on you in very little time.

THE RHYTHM OF ECLECTIC INTERIORS
The popularity of eclectic interiors mirrors the deep desire people have to express
themselves. It’s layered, complex, and deeply individualized.
Eclectic interiors require you to embrace contrast. What might feel jarring at first, begins to grow on you in very little time. Take, for instance, grounding a modern armchair an ottoman set with a vintage Persian rug. Or pairing a contemporary Scandinavian coffee table with hand-carved wooden stools.
These contradictions aren’t by accident. They’re curated for effect.
“Eclectic interiors are about intentional placement to evoke a visual and emotional
response. What does being in this space make you feel? Curious? Happy? Conflicted? When you’re in a space with eclectic interiors, every piece invites you to explore, question, and connect.”
Juhi Sakhuja, Head Of Curation, Beyond & More
VIRTUOSOS OF ECLECTIC DESIGN
While eclectic interiors can be curated for contradiction with a variety of sources, certain brands lend themselves better than others to achieve this aesthetic.
Take, for example, Moog. The brand’s designs are rooted in minimalism but have an artistic edge that pushes the boundaries of conventional furniture. Like their 7Pillows armchair; its unique design of layered cushions evoke a playful yet sophisticated feel—a perfect addition to the eclectic interior aesthetic.
Or even Lola Glamour. Their aesthetic is bold, dramatic, and quirky. This can be seen mirrored in their bestseller the Mesa Magic Dining Table—a masterpiece that transforms dining into a theatrical experience. Its sculptural base, a playful assembly of intricately carved wooden legs, feels almost in motion, as if dancing beneath the tabletop.
And then you have A Lot Of Brasil. Known for its bold innovation and avant-garde approach, the brand redefines contemporary furniture with striking designs and sustainable craftsmanship. Take the Icons Chair, for instance. It is designed to stand out in a room. The sculptural form and fluid lines are an eclectic masterpiece that would be a true conversation starter among many.
COMPOSING THROUGH CURATION
Eclectic interiors aim to create a sensorial experience that goes beyond just visual aesthetics. It’s about intentional placement to evoke a visual and emotional response.
Here’s how this plays out during curation:
- Eclectic Furniture: Combine contrasting styles or varying sizes—a vintage armchair with a modern table, or a grand sofa with a petite side stool.
- Eclectic Colours: Play with vibrant hues and muted tones—a bold blue accent wall with red-painted wooden beams in a room with neutral tones as the backdrop.
- Eclectic Lights: Highlight focal points, and play with light and shadow—natural light from large well-lit windows complemented by ambient concealed lights and a statement chandelier.
- Eclectic Textures: Create a tactile contradiction with pieces—a gilded brass bench with a woven seat cover, or a velvet sofa a with metallic table.
- Eclectic Art: Blend different art styles and mediums—an abstract painting with vintage tapestry, or black-and-white photographs alongside a colourful canvas.
“Much like a jazz rhythm, eclectic homes are all about embracing spontaneity while still staying true to who you are. It doesn’t have to be everyone’s favourite groove, but acurator can help you create a rhythm no one will forget.”
