Color and Contrast with Aesthetics

A neutral backdrop is the perfect way to bind the various bright elements of an eclectic nursery together. Throw in that classic crib in wood, a bright rug in orange, accent wall with a dash of pattern and a comfy seta in the corner even as you paint the backdrop gray of white to give the room a curated look. Colorful lighting fixtures add to the brightness of the room while wall sections in brick or stone can add textural contrast. White and wood is another color scheme that is currently popular in the eclectic nursery as well and you can use either pops of pink or depending on whether it is a girls’ or boys’ bedroom.

Using Pattern to Change Things Up

Adding pattern to the eclectic bedroom is all too easy and unlike other styles you are not constrained in here by traditional decorating norms. Be it bold chevron pattern, bright stripes in gold or even hexagonal prints; pretty much everything fits into a carefully planned eclectic nursery. Even the couch or drapes can add pattern to the nursery and once you wish to switch to a different style, it is easy to switch them out and bring in new décor. Vivacious wall murals full of color or custom wallpaper-clad accent walls accentuate this flood of pattern.
