Your Guide to an Eclectic Bathroom

Neutral tones and traditional designs can be so overrated. Vintage furniture, minimalistic fixtures, and contemporary accents are cliché and a bit bland. It’s all been done over and over again, and that can be incredibly boring. Sometimes, you just want to shake things up because you’re not just someone in the crowd, you are your own person with your own sense of style and unique taste. You need a bathroom that matches you in personality, and if you’re a person of bold color and dynamic designs, then an eclectic style is the one for you.

What is an eclectic style, exactly? Well, it is a style that intentionally curates pieces of different styles and eras together to create a fully personal and unique look. Instead of following rules and structured conventions that many other styles like minimalism and vintage design have, eclectic styles offer complete freedom to explore and combine different styles that appeal to you.

So, if you’re interested in building your own one-of-a-kind bathroom, then here is your guide to an eclectic bathroom.

“Confident, Customized, and Creative”

Bold and Confident Color

From dynamic contemporary to funky vintage design, eclectic style is one of bold and confident colors. Bright and loud, dark and dramatic colors and patterns are often associated with this style because colors are the most flexible and versatile feature of the design. There is an abundance of color patterns that can be mixed and utilized to help pull together your bathroom’s personal style. From bright neon yellow paired with pastel greens to teal blue with rusted orange, the potential is limitless.

Kingston Brass offers a wide array of bright bathroom finishes, like golden polished brass or silver-y polished chrome, to help you add bright, bold colors.

Not Rule-Bound

The greatest aspect of the eclectic style is that there is no “right” way to do it, it is whatever feels right to you. Eclectic style is one of the most unique designs that exist because it is the melting pot of all other styles that just seamlessly blend together. This style offers you the quirky freedom to customize your own style and personalize your bathroom as you see fit, and no one can stop you.

Layered Designs

The eclectic style comes with the freedom to play with different textures and materials. Mix wood and stone, soft and hard, matte and shiny. This style is famous for bringing together patterns that many would not consider. Step out of your comfort zone and combine various finishes and materials together to bring out your individuality.

One unique feature that Kingston Brass offers are a mix of finishes on their bathroom faucets, like the Magellan Widespread Lavatory Faucet KB964.

Wallpaper

If you can’t choose between polka dots and stripes when designing your bathroom, then with the eclectic style, you don’t have to choose. Pick both. One of the advantages of this style is that you can play with design and patterns. Mix and layer whatever catches your eyes to add a sense of variety to your bathroom. Wallpaper is going to be your best friend with this style because it will give you the ability to mix any patterns. So, why stick to one solid color when you can have beautiful patterns decorate your bathroom?

Statement Makers

Bold, vibrant statement pieces are a hallmark of eclectic style because statement pieces are what will bring out the personal touch in your bathroom. Accessories will truly give your bathroom the personality and pizzazz you are looking for. Add a touch of a glittery mirror, a natural wooden vanity accent piece, or green plants in colorful pots to finish your bathroom and give it that element of your unique taste.
