Eklektische Poster

The trick is to pick one unifying thread and let everything else clash freely. We'd recommend choosing a consistent frame finish (our natural oak or classic black both work brilliantly) and then going wild with the subject matter: a botanical next to an abstract next to a vintage portrait. Stick to odd numbers (3, 5, or 7 prints), keep spacing tight at around 5-7cm between frames, and anchor the arrangement with one larger piece (50x70cm works perfectly above a sofa) surrounded by smaller ones. Our eclectic art prints are all giclée-printed on thick matte paper, so the quality stays consistent even when styles vary wildly.

Absolutely, and we'd argue it's the best way to make a room feel like yours rather than a showroom. The key is the 70/30 approach: let about 70% of your prints share a loose colour palette or tonal mood, then let the remaining 30% be your wildcards. For example, pair warm-toned abstracts and vintage illustrations with one bold graphic print that breaks the pattern. A consistent frame style pulls everything together, which is why our solid wood frames in a single finish are ideal for mixed style art prints. It looks curated, not chaotic.

If you've got a blank wall above a standard UK sofa (roughly 180-200cm wide), start with one statement print at 50x70cm or 70x100cm placed centrally, then build out with two or three smaller pieces (30x40cm or 40x50cm) around it. This asymmetric cluster is the signature eclectic look. Avoid going too small: prints under A4 size disappear on a living room wall and make the space feel even emptier. Our eclectic wall prints go up to 70x100cm framed and arrive ready to hang, so you can have that wall sorted the same day your delivery lands.

Neutral rooms are actually the perfect canvas for eclectic art prints because you can go bolder than you think. We love a mix of burnt orange, deep teal, and mustard tones against warm whites or greige walls. Pick prints where those accent colours appear naturally (think vintage botanicals, abstract compositions, retro travel posters) and the room will feel layered and alive without needing to repaint or add furniture. If your walls are cool-toned (pure white, light grey), lean towards prints with dusty pinks, sage greens, and charcoal to keep the palette feeling cohesive.

Eclectic style is essentially the art of thoughtful rule-breaking. It means pulling from different eras, movements, and aesthetics (mid-century, bohemian, contemporary, vintage) and making them sit together with enough visual rhythm that it feels deliberate. In practice for wall art, this means your gallery wall might feature an abstract print next to a classical still life next to a quirky line drawing, and it works because you've tied them together with consistent framing or a shared colour thread. It's the opposite of matchy-matchy, and honestly, it's how most interesting homes are actually decorated.
