Eclect Design

Eclect Design is an exciting new online store bringing contemporary eclectic style to home interiors.

Eclect Design is an independent online store bringing you something a bit different to satisfy the modern eclectic home. The owner, Janette Reid tells us what inspired her to create Eclect Design, and the concept behind it.

I started Eclect Design in Oct 2014 after leaving a city career. My interest in interior design was sparked 10 years ago when I moved into my 1950’s home. I wanted a modern Mid-century look and developed a mild obsession for the textiles, colours, and shapes of the era, which has since grown into a wider interest in interior design.

When sourcing products for the store, I spend a lot of time hunting for products that are original or unique in some way, so you’ll find bold, quirky and original products alongside simple classic pieces. Although I love to incorporate eclectic pieces, my personal style leans towards Scandinavian, Mid-century and Industrial design influences, so these styles feature strongly in the product range. I only select products for the store that I would love to have in my own home, not surprisingly my home is now bursting at the seams!

I strongly believe in supporting smaller designers and makers, particularly in the UK where there is a wealth of established and emerging talent, so you will find carefully selected textiles from small design studios and original tableware from independent potteries.

Not forgetting the beauty and elegance of Scandinavian design, which is now a major influence in modern interiors and a perfect compliment to an eclectic look, much of our lighting, furniture and accessories come from Denmark and Sweden where the simplicity of classic Scandinavian design, and the excellent quality of the materials make the products irresistible.
