The Häcker Style Spectrum | The Modern Eclectic

The third style on The Häcker Style Spectrum is Modern Eclectic, a unique design that blends different design elements from various periods and styles. It incorporates diverse materials, colours, textures, and patterns, allowing for a mix of aesthetics that complement each other. This design style allows for creativity and individuality, making it an excellent choice for those who want to express their personal taste in their kitchen. Designer Amrin Khatoon reveals the essential components of crafting a Modern Eclectic kitchen design.

Handleless
The handleless feature is a popular design element in Modern Eclectic kitchen design. It is a sleek and minimalist approach that gives the kitchen a streamlined look. Handleless cabinets can be combined with a range of different materials and styles to create a unique appearance. Whether you opt for an industrial or urban style with concrete and metal, or a warmer and more natural look with wood and stone, handleless cabinets can help tie everything together and create a cohesive design.

Bold Choices
Modern Eclectic design allows for bold choices that can make a statement in the kitchen. Whether it’s a bold colour choice for the fronts or a daring pattern for the backsplash, adding a pop of colour or texture can create a focal point and add personality to the space. Also, a distinctive light fixture can instantly elevate the look of your kitchen.  However, it is important to balance bold choices with neutral or subtle elements to prevent the kitchen from feeling overwhelming.

Contrasting Use of Materials and Colours
Contrasting use of materials is an essential feature of Modern Eclectic kitchen design. The mix and match of different textures, colours, and materials bring about a unique look to the kitchen. This design element also provides an opportunity to play around with different design styles, from industrial to natural, from minimalist to maximalist, and many more. The possibilities are endless, and the design choices are up to the homeowner’s preference and style.

Urban or Industrial Styles
The urban style often features a mix of modern and vintage elements for a dynamic and edgy look. It may include exposed brick walls, concrete countertops, metal appliances, and sleek furniture pieces. The industrial style, on the other hand, emphasises a raw and unfinished look with exposed pipes, beams, and ductwork. It often incorporates materials such as metal, concrete, and reclaimed wood.

Wood Accent
The warmth and natural texture of wood adds richness to the space, while also creating a connection to nature. There are many ways to incorporate wood accents into a Modern Eclectic kitchen design. One approach is to use wood for the cabinetry, flooring, open shelving, or countertops. Another way to incorporate wood accents is through the use of furniture and décor. A wooden dining table, chairs, or bar stool can add a rustic touch to a Modern Eclectic kitchen, while wooden cutting boards, serving trays, or utensils can provide functional décor.

Coloured Glass
There are many ways to incorporate coloured glass into a kitchen design. One approach is to use it for the backsplash, this can create a striking visual effect. Coloured glass can also be used for cabinet fronts or as an accent piece in the kitchen. It can also be incorporated through lighting fixtures. A pendant light featuring a coloured glass shade can be a statement piece adding personality to the space. The versatility of this lighting option allows it to blend seamlessly with a variety of design styles, whether it’s a bold centrepiece or an understated accent.

The Modern Eclectic style truly leverages Häcker’s limitless possibilities to help you achieve the kitchen design that matches your personality to perfection.
