What Bad Eclecticism Looks Like

An eclectic interior that avoids three types of failure. First, not messy: colors are limited to three or four hues, and there is only one pattern. Second, not crowded: there is space to move between furniture, and one entire wall is empty. Third, not fake: every item has a clear purpose or origin, with no decorative items bought just to fill space. The overall look is rich but breathable. Avoid: using more than five colors and multiple patterns, stuffing every corner with furniture and decor, adding mass-produced decorative items without origin, leaving no blank space on the walls.

一個避開三種失敗的折衷室內。第一,不雜:顏色收在三四個色相以內,圖案只有一種。第二,不擠:家具之間留有走動的空間,牆面有一整片是空的。第三,不假:每一件東西都有明確的用途或來歷,沒有為了填空而買的裝飾品。整體豐富但可以呼吸。避免:使用超過五種顏色與多種圖案、把家具與擺件塞滿每一個角落、加入沒有來歷的量產裝飾品、讓牆面完全沒有留白。
