Eclectic Living Room Ideas

Eclectic style is known for showcasing the personality of the homeowner. With unique accents, wall decor, furniture, and rugs, this style isn't bashful about being unique and unconventional. But that does present its own set of design challenges. To help you create your ideal style, we've created a list of our best eclectic living room ideas along with guidelines on how to maximize this style's potential.

Open Book

Eclectic style is all about showing off your unique personality and tastes. Large bookshelves and open shelving units are great ways to highlight unique decor like books, statues, vases, and other trinkets that impact you.

Unconventional

Eclectic people and eclectic living rooms walk to the beat of their own drum. That gives you the freedom to use accents, rugs, and furniture placements in unconventional ways. This room with the abstract rug, built-in sofa, and propped up wall art is a prime example of what a contemporary eclectic living room can be.

Eclectic Elegance

Many people associate eclectic style with boho or global styles. However, this elegant room displays how even more sophisticated rooms can be eclectic with experimental lighting fixtures, unconventional area rugs, and bold elegant finishes.

Unique Displays

Instead of placing an area rug on the floor, consider using it as a decorative wall tapestry. Rugs already serve as unique works of art with various patterns, designs, and colors, so it's natural that they can be wall art as well.

Bold Colors

Even if the rest of your living room has fairly subdued colors, you can still incorporate a bright area rug into the room. In fact, doing so will help the rug stand out as a unique accent and highlight your eclectic style without overwhelming the room.

Fabulous Furniture

It can be daunting to choose brightly colored furniture, but the end results can also be stunning. Plus, not all the furniture has to match in color or pattern-- in fact, mismatching pieces is a central component of eclectic style.

Oversized Art

Aside from using unconventional wall art to highlight an eclectic style, you can also display this art in grand size. Once again, breaking away from normal scale and design conventions is a simple yet effective way to create a unique room.

The Open Concept Dilemma

Open concept homes can be a challenge to decorate, since you want each space to be distinct from one another but still complementary. In these cases, you may find inspiration with this room: the living room features bold colors and patterns while the neighboring spaces simply carry over the modern aesthetic with minimal color. This type of setup ensures that your living room stands out and the other spaces don't compete with it for attention.

The Role of Rugs

Rugs make the room more comfortable, but they also highlight your style. By using multiple rugs with different shapes, patterns, and sizes, you can create a truly custom living room and show off more of your unconventional eclectic style.

Eclectic Traditions

Even traditional oriental and persian rugs can accentuate an eclectic style. These rugs come in so many different patterns, color schemes, and finishes, so you can easily find a sophisticated classic rug to suit your room.

Starting Point

Designing a room from scratch can be intimidating. Choosing an area rug first can be a great way to get started. The rug can highlight your style with its pattern, establish the room's color scheme, and help you plan the room's floor plan.

Sharp Shapes

Rectangular and round rugs are the two most popular options for living rooms thanks to their versatility and many design options. However, if you truly want to create an eclectic living room, look for unique shaped rugs. This will help you truly set the space apart and give you more opportunities for unique rug placement and intentional design.

Dare To Go Dark

Today's most popular interior design styles use light and airy colors to brighten the room. This living room displays just how effective dark colors are in creating a more moody atmosphere and highlighting bold colors and patterns.

Textural Details

Some rugs have designs printed into them while others have raised patterns that are woven into them. That is the case for this rug, and as you can see, it helps create a bold impression fitting for an eclectic living room.

Details Big and Small

Your living room accents, decor, and accessories play a big role in deciding the room's style. If you are struggling to draw your style together, consider similar theming or color across your decorations. In this case, animals are used multiple times throughout the room, as are plants and neutral colors.


Eclectic living rooms are incredibly diverse as they highlight different tones and aesthetics. Now that you've see our top eclectic living room ideas and tips and tricks, you can start designing your own space to reflect your one of a kind personality.
