It’s a riot of colours, isn’t it? The bright pinks and blues in the painting find their match in the decor of the room through the steel chairs and the cushions. The pistachio-green, too, creates an identity of its own, all hues balanced well within a white shell.

It’s pretty clear that the dwellers love nature: the painting on the wall behind the bed shows birds flying free and a symbolic open bird cage. The wide windows embrace the green outdoors, drawing them into the room’s decor.
The colourful bird cages in the room range from impossibly tiny to unnaturally huge; then you spot their use as lanterns for fat, colourful candles. The eclectic mixing of objects, size, colour and purpose comes as a delightful surprise. A simple neutral-toned bedroom is transformed into one that tells a vibrant story about its owner’s personality.

This living room vignette offers useful eclectic decor tips as it packs in a lot of elements and balances them all with ease. The seemingly clashing collection of elements – the bright pink pouffe, the crowd of sculptures and artefacts, the framed drawings and, of course, the cream sofa sporting a shiny gold cushion look aesthetic together. The colour palette of the pictures in shades of sepia, ranging from near-white to deep umber, tie the disparate elements together, letting the pink and gold shine without jarring, and the sculptures stand out without being the proverbial sore thumbs.
