The house evolves in time along with itsinhabitants. Many decorative objects and details in the interior give it a special individuality. Often they are an important part of the past owners of the house. These unique things, often belonging to different time epochs and currents in art, can harmoniously blend into the blending of styles, creating something unique, your own, brightly individual. It's about one of the most original directions in interior design - eclecticism.
This style first appeared about itself in the XIXcentury, when many artists and architects, trying to move away from the correctness and clarity of the classical canons, were looking for something unusual and interesting. Creating a new style, they were on the path of some borrowing from other eras and combining an existing one. The main direction in the architecture of Russia and Europe at that time was eclecticism (from the ancient Greek word εκλεκτος - "elected, selective"). It was characterized by a mixture of many "neostyle" and fit perfectly into the worldview of Romanticism, which proclaimed the synthesis of all arts. Innovative avant-garde concepts found their way out in the form of peculiar eclectic combinations. Eclectic in the interior meant mixing of completely incompatible styles. Decorative elements of Oriental cultures were used extensively.
In modern design is also observedthe application of such a principle of eclecticism: a mixture of the historical style with elements of the eastern fairy tale, corrected by the current level of technical capabilities. Interior design by stylistic compositiontoday it is multicomponent. A mixture of the eastern and the western, the old and the new is used. In the modern interior can combine, for example, elements of styles of ethno and high-tech, art deco and Mediterranean.
The main feature of eclecticism is decorationmission. Different motives, selected in a single stylistic approach, do not reflect the essence of the era, but merely emphasize decorativeness. This direction offers a solution for using old style forms and new ones based on materials, functions or constructions of objects. This in combination helps to create beautiful interiors for their personal preferences, in their understanding of coziness, fully reflecting the rich and diverse enough inner world of a particular person.
But eclecticism in the interior is not an accidental collectionelements of different styles. Things, furniture of different styles, trends and epochs should harmoniously coexist. In the choice of decor there is complete freedom of action. Textiles, details and small details of the interior set the main theme. Eclecticism is characterized by the use of ethnic motifs, soft rounded and curved forms, an abundance of decor, textiles. In such an interior there are past and present, comfort and convenience are combined. All
its large elements combine small details, allowing to consider it as a whole.
For this style is more suitable wooden furniture with decorative carvings. There are no color restrictions for her, but it is desirable that she has quality upholstery. The design of curtains, the selection of carpets depend on the personal preferences of the owner of the house or apartment. For convenience, various built-in niches, closets, which save space, are often used. In the design of rooms often use handmade furniture, art forging elements, vintage items, numerous pillows that seem to emphasize comfort.
Color is given a lot of attention, he oftenis a connecting element in the interior, gives it spontaneity and naturalness. So, neutral shades help to harmoniously combine all used elements. But often there is a lot of color. These are multi-colored stained-glass windows, mottled prints on fabrics, Moroccan patterns and other decorative elements. Both bright and dark and pale colors, combined together, make the interior unpredictable, lively and interesting.
Eclecticism does not lose its relevance. She helps express her desire for a certain freedom of love in interior design, is a kind of visiting card of extraordinary, confident and feeling people's style.
