A modern living room with an element of suprise

Dare to be different with a bold and eclectic room. Mix materials, textiles and colors for a fun, contemporary take on a retro look. With clever use of furniture, one room can be transformed into separate spaces, while smart storage solutions are blended seamlessly into the interior. The result is functional and quirky 24/7 living.

More than just a coffee table

Get creative with a small space by using furniture with added storage, like this lightweight coffee table that doubles up as a storage basket to keep blankets, throws or extra bedding. A structured coffee table with easily accessible shelving underneath is a great solution for storing books, games or toys.

Make storage part of the decor

Stylish and simple shelving storage works as an instant room divider as well as a cool feature in itself. Here we’ve built the boxes to fit the space and create a funky cube wall to display books, plants, candles or decorative pieces. Inserts and accessories, like baskets, drawers and boxes hide the clutter.

Be brave with textiles

Textiles can act as a “red thread” by bringing all of the other elements of the room together. Using bold shades and textures in the cushions and throws can set the tone of the look. By being brave with patterns and colors, you give the room a creative, playful and spontaneous vibe.

A bright and bold bed for guests

A stylish sofa transforms into a spacious bed when you have friends over. This one is easy to unfold, and there’s no need to change the cover, so making up an extra bed is no big deal. Add vibrant bed linen and artwork overhead and catching zzz’s is an adventure in color.

Light up the details

Interesting details draw the eye in and become a curious and fun attraction to discover in the room. Here’s a bright and funky feature wall where you can display your favorite artwork, photos or decorations, and use hidden spotlights to put them all in focus.

When mixing it up is the perfect match

Create a laid back and unconventional vibe with mismatched armchairs. Play around with contrasting shapes and materials. Ironically, by using different styled armchairs, you get a cohesive look to the eclectic style. Blend it seamlessly by adding different patterned textiles that share a color tone.

Make a cool music nook

Have a designated place to chill and enjoy your favorite tunes. Store your vinyl collection on perfect-fit shelves that look made to order, add a record player on top, and hook your headphones to the wall. Make it pop with some funky artwork or add some bold color to your walls.

Eclectic pieces that makes a statement

A focal point like a gallery wall or statement furniture, like a colored sleeper sofa or an overhanging lamp will draw in the eye. You can mix and match different designs, patterns and motifs, but remember to break up your eclectic interior design with neutral colors and blank spaces to create visual harmony.
