Life and culture are the major inspiration for those who choose a bohemian style for their home décor. The word ‘bohemian’ refers to someone who is socially unconventional and often involved in the arts, making it a great interior design option for a space full of visual interest and a relaxed spirit. It is based on the modern sensibilities and embraces the carefree, the relaxed and the unusual.
Even in a modern home décor, you could easily achieve this bohemian style by following these tips.
•Texture
One thing the boho home never lacks is texture. Adding texture to your room can be achieved in so many ways!
Hang a tapestry, layer throws over your furniture, get some crazy pillows and pile them on your sofa. In bohemianism, the saying goes “more is more”, so add a bunch of stuff you love!
•Colors
There are no rules when it comes to bohemian decorating, yet warm earthy colors are quite common, as are metallics.Electric blue, fiery orange, saturated purple, and other such jewel tones also do great when used for accessories like art and tapestries. The secret to a perfect bohemian interior lies in combining various warm colors in the right proportions.
•Materials
The key to using materials in this style of room is to mix and match. The materials should have a slightly worn look (not damaged, but not shiny and new either).
For instance, metallic and mirrored surfaces are hallmarks of bohemian interior design, especially for making a modern bohemian living room appear brighter and larger. Metallics and mirrors also add focal points to your room, along with a sense of everyday glamor.
•Furniture and Furnishings
Bohemian furniture can’t be bought in just any old store. Each piece should be special and tell a story no matter what it looks like. Floor pillows, Think low-backed sofas, leather poufs, soft ottomans and bean bag chairs are all great low-level seating options to have, because they invite people to sit down and stay a while.
The Victorian style is ideal for bohemian style interiors as they almost have nothing that matches the style of modern-day furniture.
•Accessories
Accesories in bohemian rooms should tell the story of the people who live there. You can opt ornate boxes, vintage bottles, maps etc. Artistic accessories will add further interest to your cozy spaces. Go bold with artistic pieces which stand out and are extraordinary.
•Light
String lights, lanterns, funky chandeliers, candles. Use them all!
•Greenery
The houseplant has always had a special place in Bohemian decor, from aspidistras on a stand, via cascading spider plants to the succulents that are so popular today (and great in small spaces). The good news is that you don’t have to stick to macramé pot holders; look for brass planters or quirky, offbeat containers instead.
