Beyond minimalism there is a more ornamental approach to modern interiors. By combining interesting antiques and modern design classics with today's furniture we can satisfy our yearning for individualism while retaining a thoroughly modern look. Modern Eclectic shows you how inventive use of unusual textures and colours and how the use of one-off, commissioned pieces as focal points can create unique and individual interiors.
This is the ultimate guide to eclecticism. It not only defines the trend in interior design, but also provides advice on successfully putting the look together. Using actual examples of eclectic interiors, including her own, author Orianna Feilding Banks explains how each was conceived. Combine an antique chandelier with modern aluminium blinds or a generous red sofa with a unique modern sculpture; there are no rules, if you like it and it looks good - mix it.
Modern Eclectic will appeal to all those who love modern design, but don't wish to live in the clinical environments so often dictated by architects. More than 200 photographs, specially shot in both Europe and America, will guide and inspire you to turn your home into an eclectic haven.
