Eclectic Décor with a pinch of Nature

My favorite décor style and what I am mostly known for is what I call eclectic with a pinch of nature. There fore as you know, the name of my décor business is, “As Nature Intended interiors”. I of course have many examples of this style thru out my home and one of my favorites is in the master bedroom. On either side of the bed I have chosen to use a chest instead of a more typical choice of shorter night tables. Both of these chest vignettes are perfect examples of eclectic with a pinch of nature. Let me explain.

One of the chest vignettes is a whitewashed chest of drawers that I have removed the hardware and put in its place driftwood handles. This of course added nature and uniqueness to a somewhat ordinary chest of draws. This piece also has a vintage Indian bowl filled with more driftwood and seashells. To balance out the nature and add a different texture I have used a vintage crystal box and lamp. The vintage lamp is balanced with a contemporary white linen shade and a crystal beaded tassel. This vignette is topped off with a vintage inspired mirror.

The second vignette is similar but different as not to be redundant. It includes a vintage chest of draws with its original hardware and stain. This piece is topped with a set of three whitewashed iron candle holders, a whitewashed iron urn, a driftwood photo frame and the same vintage crystal lamp with white linen shade as the other vignette. Both vignettes have the same vintage inspired mirrors to add sparkle and continuity.

What make them both work individually are the contrast of old with new and a pinch of nature. Notice, the vintage lamp has a contemporary shade. Also notice that because one chest is whitewashed I balanced this with the whitewashed candle holders and urn on the other. What makes both vignettes work in the same room is that they are different yet similar. Both have the same mirror and lamp which is what helps tie the whole look together in one room without being what I call, “too matchie poo”.

So don’t be afraid to mix old vintage with new contemporary and always remember to add a pinch of nature….this is a recipe for transforming your environment into a peaceful and healthy sanctuary….

Blessings!
