Embrace Contrast with Patterns

The eclectic style thrives on contrast and variation. Consider mixing different patterns to add depth and interest to your space. For a balanced look, pair bold prints with simpler designs. The Landyn Stripe Pillow Cover is perfect for adding subtle yet engaging lines to your pillow setup, anchoring a mix of prints with its understated elegance.

Play with Color

Color is a powerful tool when styling an eclectic room, helping to tie diverse elements together. When choosing throw pillows, select colors that echo or complement other shades in the room. The Gávea Solid Color Pillow Cover in Terracotta can infuse warmth and earthiness, acting as a grounding element amidst more patterned pieces.

Layer Different Textures

Texture adds dimension to your design, an essential factor to consider in eclectic styling. Mix materials like linen, velvet, and leather to create tactile interest. Incorporate the Pillow Combo #4 to introduce a mix of textures, combining softness with rugged charm.

Size and Layering for Impact

Varying the size of your throw pillows adds depth and visual intrigue. Start with large pillows at the back, gradually layering smaller ones in front. For a balanced yet eclectic look, aim for a mix of sizes: large 22” throws paired with 18” or 16” cushions can create an inviting and curated stack.

Placement and Symmetry

An eclectic style doesn’t mean a haphazard arrangement. Aim for a sense of balance with your pillow placement. Even in an asymmetrical arrangement, repeat colors or patterns to create a subtle sense of order. The Vintage Hmong Pillow Cover offers an intricate design, perfect as a standalone focal point or balanced with simpler accents from our Designer + Vintage Throw Pillow Covers.
