Eclectic Natural Style :: San Giorgio Hotel, Mykonos, Greece

I know the San Giorgio Hotel has been written about already but as I have been focused on eclectic and natural design styles, this hotel lovingly combines both the '60s bohemian life with a down-to-earth natural approach.

For me I just love the palettes of white, simple textures and the use of colour through furniture and decoration. They achieve this look by...

• Exposing and painting the existing timber ceiling.
• Using mosaic floor tiles.
• Mixing rough plaster wall finish with polished plaster floor and built in joinery.
• Playing with filtered light with sheers and pendants.
• Decorating with natural finishes, local crafted weaves and textiles, recycled furniture and eclectic decor.

Now if I lived back in the UK, this would be on my top 10 places to stay.

Eclectic Lounge Style :: Cushions & Rugs

While you are next on holiday have a shop around for fabrics, textiles and rugs. These are some of the easiest things to look out for at markets and bazaars and are also quite straightforward to integrate back into your home.

These cushions are made out of old ponchos from Peru!

Pairing cushions with a rug helps anchor the room or area and if you keep your sofa base fabric neutral you can add a wild mix of colour, texture and patterns with fabrics from your travels.

These cushions have a handcrafted South American vibe!

I always make time to find those local fabric markets, not just for that holiday experience, but to bring something back that is handmade, unique and nearly always with a story tell.

Have fun.

This style will let you boldly mix many different patterns and colours together or just keep it neutral. It is a decoration style that adds character to any room and has many stories to tell.
