01. Forgetting to Edit Your Space<\/h3>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to love a lot of styles, and usually, I buy whatever I like and try to make it work,\u201d designer\u00a0Bari Ackerman<\/a>\u00a0says. But, she adds, there isn\u2019t\u00a0room<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0everything<\/em>\u00a0in a home, and a bit of editing is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

02. Not Defining a Color Palette<\/h3>\n

FORBES + MASTERS<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other words, use color intentionally,\u201d Ackerman advises. She personally decorates her home with orange, green, pink, and a few pops of blue.<\/p>\n

Home design<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0influencer\u00a0Tiffany Barino<\/a>\u00a0feels similarly. \u201cNot having one signature color throughout, conjoining the different styles, can make the space appear more messy than collected,\u201d she comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

03. Not Paying Attention to Scale<\/h3>\n

DAN RAK<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen attempting to achieve an\u00a0eclectic style<\/em><\/strong>,<\/a> often people will\u00a0collect pieces<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0over time,\u201d designer\u00a0Michelle Gage<\/a>\u00a0explains. \u201cThat\u2019s certainly a good way to achieve the look, but if you aren\u2019t\u00a0designing a room<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0all at once, you really need to be paying close attention to the scale of each and every piece you\u2019re sourcing.\u201d<\/p>\n

04. Forgetting About Scale When It Comes to Prints<\/h3>\n

STUDIO PEAKE<\/p>\n

The concept of scale isn\u2019t just important with regard to\u00a0<\/a>furniture,<\/strong>\u00a0it\u2019s also key to keep in mind in terms of prints in wallpaper, art, and textile form.<\/p>\n

05. Incorporating Too Much D\u00e9cor Off the Bat<\/h3>\n

\"6<\/a><\/p>\n

LOUIS DUNCAN-HE<\/p>\n

\u201cI think people mistake eclectic for\u00a0maximalism<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0so they pack on the d\u00e9cor<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and then feel overwhelmed,\u201d home design influencer\u00a0Monica Benavidez<\/a>\u00a0says. \u201cThe styles definitely go together, but if you\u2019re transitioning to a more eclectic style in your home, resist the urge to add a lot of\u00a0d\u00e9cor<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0right off the bat.\u201d<\/p>\n

06. Paying Too Much Attention to Traditional Design Rules<\/h3>\n

KATHERINE CARTER<\/p>\n

Why not make the design process joyful? \u201cBuy and collect pieces<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0you love, whether they\u2019re from the 18th century or the 21st, and just have fun,\u201d Pearce encourages. \u201cOne of my favorite spots in my home combines a 19th-century ornate chair, a sleek mid-century desk, postmodern d\u00e9cor pieces, and a kitschy popsicle stick table lamp.\u201d Though this feels like it shouldn\u2019t all work together, it does.<\/p>\n
