The eclectic style is complex, but can be defined as a set of elements chosen specifically to bring great energy to a space, and create a whole culture within it. In this way, many eclectic interiors are reminiscent of a hodgepodge. It's a collection of different styles, a juxtaposition of textures and colour contrasts, all designed to create visual harmony.

It can also be interpreted as the freest or most creative design style, but also the most unpredictable and varied, generally seeking a balance between colour and texture, and a mix of old and new.
