A small table will suffice when the newlyweds prepare a quiet dinner for two. If company comes over, the console to the left can be used as a buffet and the yellow side table can be transformed into a cocktail station. Unexpected touches like a globe chandelier add personality.

Mix different decorating styles and points of view by displaying quirky items as a curated collection. Keep one element in common, like a repeating shape or color (seen in the red tones of the table, pillows and wall hangings here) to link them together.

Selke's book, Fresh American Spaces, outlines five design styles, including Cultured Eclectic, which she used in Susan and Will's apartment. Here's how to bring it to life in your home.
1. Showcase curiosities
Don't shy away from items that are unusual, but not necessarily beautiful—especially if they have a connection to your past. Pieces with a sense of history (a weathered stool, vintage posters) are great conversation starters and give rooms a warm, homey feel.
2. Arrange items into collections
Scattered throughout a room, trinkets can feel like clutter. To make a stronger decorative statement, display them in themed groupings of three or more pieces, as Selke did by clustering all of Will's nautical pieces along one wall.
3. Don't skimp on the artwork
Fill the walls! It's an ideal way to convey your point of view—and there's no need to limit yourself to paintings. An oversize map communicates Susan's love of travel and framed quilt patterns reference her work in fashion.
