Interestingly though, Frasier describes his design aesthetic as "eclectic", in the first episode, I think, and he elaborates by saying something like "the idea is that if you select only truly beautiful pieces, they will just go together". So, Frasiers apartment is actually a good example of eclectism! Also, the 80% 20% design rule is great :)
Those Things truly beautiful pieces will automatically go together? Absolutely misleading, it depends on the origin of the design. Any really good designer knows art history from ancient Egypt until 21st century
