Bringing Earthy Eclectic Charm Into Your Home

If you’re drawn to interiors that feel collected, characterful, and effortlessly stylish, the earthy eclectic look might be just what your home needs. This design style embraces a mix of textures, tones, and patterns — creating a space that feels both grounded and full of personality.

This scheme combines mid-century influences with a touch of modern rustic warmth, featuring natural materials, sculptural shapes, and a palette inspired by nature’s richest hues — mossy greens, burnt terracotta, and golden ochre.

 

Building the Look

 

Start with a neutral base such as a woven jute rug or natural seagrass flooring to add warmth and texture. From there, layer in furniture with tactile finishes — think velvet upholstery, matte ceramics, and soft wood grains. A curving armchair in deep olive, paired with a mustard velvet sofa, brings a luxurious yet lived-in feel.

Lighting plays a key role in this style. Opt for sculptural wall lights or table lamps in deep, earthy tones — like the statement red lamp featured here — to create cosy pools of light and a touch of drama.

 

Pattern and Colour with Ashleigh Mercia Fabrics

 

Pattern is where this look truly comes alive. The scheme features three of my signature designs:

• Starfall in Green — a bold geometric fabric with retro flair that draws the eye, perfect for Roman blinds or statement cushions.
• Kelp Drift in Rust — a rhythmic, organic pattern that adds a warm, textural contrast to solid velvets or earthy neutrals.
• Kelso Stripe in Green — a timeless stripe that grounds the space and ties the palette together with understated elegance.

These fabrics balance beautifully — geometric and organic patterns working in harmony, creating visual interest without overwhelming the room.

 

Finishing Touches

 

To complete the look, introduce abstract artwork, ceramic vases, and woven throws in complementary tones. The beauty of this style lies in its mix — old with new, smooth with rough, structured with soft. Every piece tells a story and adds to the layered feel that makes the space feel truly yours.

Earthy eclectic interiors are as comforting as they are stylish. They feel personal, curated, and timeless — a reflection of your own taste and creativity. With Ashleigh Mercia’s Starfall, Kelp Drift, and Kelso Stripe fabrics, it’s easy to bring this look into your home and create a space that feels both elevated and inviting.
