27+ Best Eclectic Living Room Ideas
Topics such as “eclectic designs” and “eclectic living room ideas” have grown in popularity as the importance of expressing people’s real character and personalities in their home design has flourished.
And I have to admit that this particular interior design aesthetic is suitable for anyone in this era when the trend is now mixing between various schools together. Not going to beat around the bush anymore; the fascinating living room layouts below can blow your mind!
First, Let’s Talk About Eclectic Style
Eclectic style, to put it simply, does not require a particular aesthetic. You are free to create a room based on your personal preference but still, need to rely on a few considerations.
- The overall harmonization between sizes, proportions, and layout should be noticed.
- Repetition will help increase the balance effects.
- Use contrastive factors but not overdo it (believe me, it will be messy!)
- Opt for a simple background (solid color) that will work well with more designs.
- The materials and colors used are varied; you can use anything you want with this style since there is barely any limitation.
- The distinctiveness lies in your creativity, and you should show it off.
- Try to add some highlights or focal points; they will be helpful.
Are you ready for my suggestions on those different eclectic living room layouts? Let’s scroll down, and you can see it right below!
Vintage And Classic Eclectic Living Room Suggestions
Let’s start with something simple and classic first! These traditional, lovely and delicate living room looks will definitely please you. Don’t miss out and see what I will offer to you!
1. Small Living Room Decorated In Vintage Style
The first design to start this list off is relatively bucolic. It is not an aristocratic design, but it will undoubtedly bring a feeling of coziness, comfort, and natural closeness.
In this layout, the support of natural decorations such as cotton wool or natural blue from hanger planters also plays a considerable role in accentuating this rustic and classic breath.
2. Leather Brown Couch With A Large, Bright-Colored Rug
As I said, one of the special features of an eclectic living room (or any other room) is the focal point. And in this design, this bright-colored rug has played its role well.
The other features should wear neutral tones to make the whole look balanced, such as light brown couch and white-gray wall.
A leather couch is not only beautiful but very easy to maintain, so here is how to clean them!
3. Upholstered Tan Brown Sofa With Classic Chandelier
With the placement of a vintage chandelier, a sofa, and an area rug, this living room exudes a strong classic vibe even though being furnished with various modern equipment (TV, speakers).
The tip here is to create coherence between all the details. As illustrated, the brown shades have been repeated in the flooring, rug coloring, and sitting areas, which help to deliver the lovely harmony.
4. Dreamy-Looking Front Room With White Tone
If you want a slightly vintage-inspired room, this design is definitely for you. The area is filled with soft white objects, which lend a dreamy and clean feeling. To avoid the monotony, you should add some additional accents with cool brown tones or pastel colors.
As I introduced, the highlight will lie on the picture on the wall and the small, round coffee table.
5. Traditional Eclectic Living Room With Zebra Print Rug
A cowhide rug with natural textures or prints is the perfect addition if you want to add a touch of luxury and extravagance to a traditional room.
Usually, in a room with a neutral color scheme (with chairs, table, and walls in dark colors), a cowhide rug with contrastive color patterns will not create any disappointment.
Since the cowhide rug is vulnerable, here is how to choose the best hide rug to put in your room.
6. Mid-Century Vintage Design With Gray Sectional Couch
This mid-century eclectic layout is one of the best living room suggestions for a condo if you are after the vintage design. It is because the living room does not look too old-school/rustic or too futuristic; it is just in the middle of the two.
Furthermore, to accentuate the vintage breath inside the room, you should add some minor highlight points by using a bright-colored throw or cushion.
7. Classic Farmhouse Vibe Front Room
This layout definitely lends you a solid feel of an old-school, Victorian-inspired parlors’ inspirations with the fireplace, those dark brown leather armchairs, and other features.
Furthermore, the effect from the room’s coherence is prominent (tan wall, brown chairs, and the lightly fawn rug), which effectively enhances the coolness of this classic area.
8. Vintage Eclectic Living Room With Pink Shade
If you are a pink lover, this delicate pink-dominant parlor should be on your consideration list. The furniture design looks absolutely classic and vintage, yet the exotic patterns exude a hint of the adorable boho aesthetic.
Because of that, this layout will be suitable for those who love to combine these two styles together.
Charming Boho Eclectic Parlor You Will Not Able To Resist
Mentioning boho design, you will immediately think of those colorful features and diversified patterns/textures. It is to increase the comforts and enhance the unique aesthetic. How to decorate a perfect boho-eclectic living room? Here are my recommendations!
9. Decorating Your Rooms With Artworks
The easiest way to decorate your room artistically is to put on artworks, and in this illustration, my recommendation for you is to put them onto the walls. Trust me; this method will fit in any rustic living room wall decorating project!
Why so? Because these areas are noticeable, there will be no better way to show off your aesthetic taste than this directly.
Let’s start your DIY artworks for wall decoration today following this recommendation!
10. Dark Green Wall With Eclectic Lounge Ideas
Similar to the previous idea, this design makes use of a wall gallery yet with a striking difference. The rattan swivel lounge chair (or armchair) makes a significant contribution in adding the uniqueness point to the whole look.
There are many different lounge chair design alternatives to pick from and match with your room’s theme, so don’t wait to test them out!
11. Large Area Rug In An Boho-Looking Living Room
Even if your furniture looks neutral, you can always emphasize the boho-vibe in the room with various decorations like rugs, throws, or cushions.
I think you should refer to the ethnic pattern and bright color decorative items, plussome dark green leaves plants. They will be so prominent and immediately boost the close-to-natural feeling.
12. Colorful Bohemian Parlor With Rock Coffee Table
My initial impression of this entire space is the mix of many color tones, which might result in a cluttered appearance if you don’t know how to handle it effectively. Here’s what I will recommend to you!
Keep the walls and ceiling as neutral and simple as possible, and place some distinctive artifacts in the center of the room with a lighter or darker hue to draw the eye and help balance the ambiance.
The suggested image shows that the modest gray coffee table is vividly displayed on the blue striped carpet.
13. Stylish Living Room With An Outstanding Rug Interior
The furniture is a bit more contemporary, but the style is still vibrant. This eclectic room’s centerpiece, in my opinion, is a touch of a shaggy chic look paired with the unrestrained use of color.
However, anything needs balance, and this room is no exception. Adopting relatively light wood floors with a monochromatic couch and two armchairs generates a sense of harmony.
14. Huge Window In A Glam Boho-Eclectic Parlor
Instead of finding ways to install a mirror into the living room to create an area expansion illusion, how about installing a vast picture window?
Thanks to this glass wall, this Bohemian living room has fully received the sunlight, effectively brightening up the whole space.
If you don’t know how they install the picture window into your room, here is the instruction!
15. Beautiful Arched Window In A Bohemian-Eclectic Room
It is another window option to apply in your wanted boho-eclectic living room. This arched window style does pair well in this area.
Besides the fact that it will help with the lighting, this window design complements the overall ambience and accentuates the hint of classiness inside this area. From that, make the room more diversified.
16. Contrastive Sofa Colors
The contrasting color of the sofa is the highlight of this room (besides the vibrant red of the Persian carpet).
Together with the inclusion of many other decorations such as the white fluffy lounge chair, the unique wall-hung paintings, and the green color from plants, all of them make this design very eclectic.
These Modern Eclectic Living Rooms Will Surely Impress You
Now let’s move on to something more trendy and begin with the modernistic eclectic living room! It is time to learn more about them!
17. Large, Modern Patterned Rug
To distinguish this look from the boho style, you can notice the minimalist coffee table with sharp edges and the color combination.
Instead of using various bright and hot color tones, this modernistic design prefers installing the neutral cold hues significantly represented in the rug’s pattern and sofa/armchair’s color.
18. Broad Vaulted Ceiling
Overall, from the top down, you can see that this living room is quite bright and airy, thanks to the installation of a relatively high vaulted ceiling.
With a modern design and minimalist color scheme, gentle touches like murals and plants are enough to create a pleasing whole.
19. Basic Eclectic Living Room With Bright Colors
How about a bit of a twist? Let’s give your living room a unique accent with dark blue paisley wallpaper that stands out from the surrounding white-gray tones.
However, repetition is still needed to not become out of place. And installing a sofa of the same color is a wise move.
The best guidance on how to stick the wallpaper onto your wall is here!
20. Earthy-Toned Sofas For A Modern Eclectic Parlor
Basically, the opposite of this room lies in its difference between the top and the bottom. While the lower half of the room used colorful details and carpet textures that are quite eye-catching, they kept the tone of the upper half white, bright, and simple.
And this is the right direction and directs your gaze to the main living area, including the table, sofas, and rustic-designed lounge chairs.
21. The Highlight Is On The Paintings
If you just want to use simple furniture with absolutely pale tones, how to create the focal points? With a few neon paintings, your living room will become an outstanding place, ensuring that no one will ever want to leave.
As illustrated, the bright pink shade has changed the whole minimalistic look of this room.
22. Furry, Comfy Living Room In Eclectic Style
Do you want to see how a modern design combined with a classic one would look? With basic sofas’ design and extremely minimalist rug pattern with a modern twist, the materials that make them are entirely different.
Fur rugs, plush sofas, and sophisticated chandeliers are the focal point of the classic style added to this room. What a weird and exquisite comeliness!
23. White Transitional Living Room Following Eclectic Design
It never goes wrong if you use white in a modern design, and this is a top suggestion for you if you are looking for that.
With modern interiors designed in white minimalism, the presence of a fireplace area and simple beige patterned carpet make this space genuinely eclectic.
24. Futuristic Blue-Toned With Gray Sectional Couch
The global-like light fixture in the center of this blue-dominant living room does its job quite well in increasing the futuristic aura.
And that’s still not enough! This eclectic design is made more complete thanks to the small decorative details from the pillows, throws, bookshelves, and the contrast between the floor and the ceiling (black and white).
Lastly, the use of the bicycle as a decoration is genius, it will not cover the blank area but also add a distinctive vibe.
25. Dark Eclectic Living Room
If you are used to designs filled with bright colors and bright feelings, this black-toned living room will be a breath of fresh air. It is an entirely modern room furnished with cool-looking furniture and details, such as a gray couch, black walls, and a black minimalist fireplace.
And as I said above, the remarkable thing that makes this room eclectic is the contrast. As you can see, it is the contrast between the walls and the interior with the floor and ceiling colors.
Other Stunning Suggestions For Eclectic Living Room
What about the other aesthetic layouts that do not belong to those above categories? Don’t worry; I will provide you with some of them here.
26. Swimming Pool-Inspired Living Room
With a living room overlooking the pool, you can completely choose this design and create a pleasant surprise for everyone who comes to your house.
Look, with the blue carpeted floor (resembling the water surface) and the sofa that looks like floats, your living room, compared to the outside pool, is not much different.
27. Strangely Harmonization Of Pinterest-Inspired Front Room
There is only one word to say to describe the layout, which is “unique”. If you are a lover of miniature design, then you should definitely check it out.
The special feature in this room is that although the furniture is relatively small and has almost different colors, they all connect with each other well in a strange way. And after all, the pieces give off a gentle warm feeling.
28. Small Eclectic Living Room On A Budget
To be honest, this is one of the simplest designs on the list that I show you today. Because the room is relatively small, decorating it won’t need to cost too much.
All you need to do is buy wallpaper in elegant patterns and apply accents like a bright red sofa and a neutral-coloring jute area rug. Adding a lounge chair in the corner of the room is entirely optional.
