New Country Eclectic Decorating
Irwin Weiner ASID - There are many distinct home decorating styles, from Country French and High Tech to Mid-Century and Industrial Chic. I happen to like eclectic design above all else, mixing the styles and creating a we-don't-have-to-match-everything interior. I'm tired of seeing everything in matching pairs, and although this video does show a few "correct" pairs, it shows more than anything else an interior that's relaxed, eclectic, and proud of the homeowners' blend of modern and rustic collectibles. Our own Design2Share video tour of a rural Connecticut studio-home will inspire you to start collecting masses of objects on eBay, just for the sure pleasure of seeing well-curated collections and how they have great visual impact. (Or mimic this couple's top-of-kitchen-cabinets collection of vintage sap buckets by going to VandM.com - see photo above.)

I am an owner of an archtectual company. My opinion is the exterior of a home should be balanced .
However, the inside must be must be designed toward the specific lifstyle of the owner. The specailized features need to be made up of what makes the person or family happy.
The Family Triangle of Kitchen , Eating Area and Entertainment must be close enough to share togetherness.
My personal style is Eclectic because it allows me to be creative.
