Craftsmanship 28 members

There are so many fabulous crafts in danger of becoming extinct. Get yourself off to all your local country fairs,craft exhibitions, college exhibitions etc this summer. My local college has fabulous creative skills courses, including soft furnishings, passementerie,quilting,carpentry,blacksmithing etc.It's brilliant to see.Keep our crafts alive and support them as much as you can or we may lose them. You'll be amazed at the talent and skill in these places and you will probably end up buying something you will not find anywhere else. I know you can get good bargains on the high street but it is nice to treat yourself to something unique.

The fun part about eclectic design is that there are so few limitations. An oriental rug from the 1920s can pair beautifully with a mid-century modern chair, if you can find the unifying thread between them. Maybe they both are a certain shade of light green, echoed again in the drapes. Your shopping should be similarly wide-ranging. Rather than focusing on the usual interior design furnishings stores, consider import stores, auctions, antique stores, flea markets, and architectural salvage shops. Eclectic interior design undoubtedly requires creativity and vision. But if you are up for a challenge, no other design style can so perfectly capture your one-of-a-kind taste.
