We simply can't get enough of modern eclectic design. As a matter of fact, it typically defines our own style aesthetic. Sure, we cover a broad range of styles with the work we do, but this one definitely feels the most natural to us. The modern eclectic home is one that blends vintage and modern architecture, furniture and decor to create comfortable, lived-in spaces. But don't think that means just anything goes! Rather, this look is all about finding balance. Items are thoughtfully chosen, and give an overall feeling of being collected or curated over time. From slightly worn furnishings to pops of contrast and pattern, these style elements showcase especially well against a crisp, modern backdrop. There is certainly an ease to this style that feels fresh and inviting. Scroll through to see some of our favorite ways to get the look we love!

E-Design: Desert Chic Bedroom

May 5, 2017 Scout Modern

When an old friend reached out recently looking for ideas to style her daughter's bedroom, we knew putting together a mood board and E-Design would be the best and easiest way to give them an overall design plan to follow. Lucie is twelve and wants a sophisticated desert-chic bedroom (no more kid stuff) and gave us these style words: shibori, mud cloth, cacti, woven texture and gold accents. She was off to a great start with a few pieces she'd already purchased. With those items and her style words as inspo, we created a look that incorporates textured materials like jute, rattan and rope with shades of indigo and warm desert tones like pink, red and copper.
