How to make eclectic style work

Kim Clements and Joe Schneider’s living room finds harmony by combining a mishmash of patterns, offbeat accessories, and colors galore. The pair, who met in architecture school, took advantage of every inch of real estate by reimagining how rooms could be used.

The result? A small home that feels spacious, rooms that welcome all ages, and a color palette inspired by childhood.
