As we all know eclectic design is the one that implements the mixing technique into the decoration. There won’t be any limitation and rules just as long as you do the right combination and doesn’t make your home looks overserving. This one can really match the grandmillennial decor style where it combines the modern and traditional elements into the decoration. In this case, the modern and traditional will bring you into something old and new, into simple decoration and homey design.
Related to the eclectic design and grandmillennial home, there are some ways that you can do to make both styles work together such as
- mixing the antique and modern pieces
- having fun with the colors (you can even use bold colors)
- combining different patterns
- playing with the textures
With all of the freedom that you may have in decorating the grandmillennial home, you should consider the purpose of the decoration itself. Don’t be mistaken with other decor styles like maximalist that will be too wild in applying the freedom principle. Or, don’t be too stuffy like cottagecore decor style. Remember that the grandmillennial decor is about combining modern and traditional elements to make a simple yet fun and calming decor in this modern era without making it too striking or stuffy. Here are examples of ways to create a grandmillennial house by applying eclectic decor techniques.
