Eclectic or boho chic design? Which should you choose?
Discover how to achieve the perfect eclectic or boho chic home with Casalgrande Padana porcelain stoneware tiles.
Eclectic interior design is bold and original. It crafts spaces filled with charm by blending different styles, shapes, and materials from various periods. An eclectic-style home tells stories about life experiences and trips to faraway lands. Its spaces are never the same, and creativity and imagination create a harmonious atmosphere throughout.
Eclectic design captures attention by juxtaposing and blending different styles and materials without ever overdoing it. Décors and accessories in contrasting colours and shapes – curved, rounded, linear, and squared – add the perfect final touch. The result is never random. It’s a fascinating, balanced look that adds flair to any room, whether it’s the living room, kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom.
A well-thought-out palette blends contrasting colours and textures into a cohesive scheme, creating the right atmosphere in every room. To achieve an eclectic-style space, it’s a good idea to identify a few elements and maintain their proportions while playing with the repetition of lines, shapes, patterns, and colours.
Eclectic interior design is all about creating a consistent, innovative look through original juxtapositions and colour combinations. This applies to floors and walls as well. For example, pairing a wood-effect, stone-effect, or concrete-effect floor in soft, warm shades with brightly coloured walls is an excellent way to achieve a modern, playful look without overpowering or cluttering the space.
The boho chic style stems from the 19th-century Bohemian aesthetic movement, where artists and writers chose a free, unconventional lifestyle, taking a stance against society's norms and constraints.
Boho interior design is charming, refined, and contemporary. Similarly to eclectic design, it creates unique, cosy spaces by mixing and matching colours, fabrics, patterns, and ethnic influences. Typical boho chic elements include warm earthy shades, natural fabrics like linen and cotton, wooden or rattan furnishings, floor lamps, rustic trunks, wicker baskets, and green plants. These elements spread energy throughout the space while creating a unique atmosphere.
Floors are another essential element in a boho chic home. Opting for the same stone-effect or wood-effect porcelain stoneware tiles throughout the house ensures a cohesive look and a nice sense of wellbeing. That’s because porcelain stoneware tiles are made solely with natural raw materials. In addition, they are environmentally sustainable, fire-resistant, non-absorbent, and easy to lay and clean.
