Eclectic Home Tour – Verdoier

February 12, 2022  Exceptionally Eclectic

How do you mix African, Chinoiserie, American Rustic, and modern all together? Today’s Eclectic Home Tour of Verdoier takes us inside a 1920’s home that seamlessly blends the beautiful old bones with an eclectic interior. The collected style comes from the perfect mix of antiques and vintage finds, lots of texture, and perfectly placed pops of color!

Eclectic Home Tour of Verdoir - tour this 1920's home with a boho, eclectic feel  

Jill Danyelle owns Verdoier, a boutique interior design firm in New York City. The French word verdoier means “to become green” as in flourishing and coming to life. Jill says, “the most important thing about a house is the life that takes place within it.” I fell in love with her South Orange, New Jersey project.

Says Jill, “These clients had recently relocated from an apartment in New York City to a larger house in New Jersey. They have a colorful modern bohemian style and were looking for some help to bring it to light in their new home. We sourced a solid foundation of pieces that speak to both their style and the more traditional 1920s house they were making a home.”

How do you mix African, Chinoiserie, American Rustic, and modern all together? Jill says, “Keep your palette neutral. I definitely committed to the black and white here. It doesn’t feel harsh as the greenery and botanicals bring in life and the rattan and wicker keep the room feeling warm.” Vintage botanical gallery wall

Jill found the old hanging light fixture and the lamp on eBay. Boho home tour - love the rattan rocking chair and leather pouf in this 1920's home Colorful, eclectic, boho home tour - love the mix of styles

The top of this stunning carved, Asian armoire is the perfect place the pile a bunch of woven baskets and every house needs live plants.

A classic Chesterfield sofa gets a modern update in blue velvet while a green bench and pink pillows are fun touches. Colorful living room - love the blue velvet Chesterfield sofa and matching club chairs with pops of pink

A pair of chairs in front of the fireplace mimics the symmetry of the two windows above while a round mirror softens all the straight lines.

I love this unique macrame window covering that’s so light and airy. Love the navy blue Chesterfield sofa and macrame window covering

I love that the owners of the home chose to keep the dark wood paneling and trim that adds such drama to this formal dining room.  Old home with original dark wood paneling and trim - love the cowhide rug and bamboo chairs that give it a more casual feel

A cowhide rug and white bamboo chairs give the room a more casual feel while the glass dining and console tables keep things from feeling too heavy.

Unique additions like the peacock sculpture add interest and are perfect conversation starters.

Original hardwood floors add warmth throughout the house. Old home tour with original hardwood floors on the second floor

The bedroom is a mix of color, pattern and texture but it still feels serene. Love this boho bedroom with blue oriental rug, bamboo bed and vintage bedspread

The bamboo headboard is the perfect choice in front of a window because it allows the light to shine through.

Vintage blue textile adds color to a white bedspread

Beds create the perfect L-shaped “sectional sofa” with lots of pillows for comfortable lounging.

Lots of rattan throughout the house adds warmth and texture and I love the fun shape of the pair of rattan desk chairs.

Once the home was finished, Jill returned when the couple found out they were expecting. 

The colorful rug and bird textile add color and interest to this adorable nursery.

    This home is so very interesting! Collected but not cluttered, each piece eclectic, but not trying to outdo one another. Love the use of bamboo, rattan, wicker, bringing that global vibe to every space. Great job.
