Ways to Invite the Unique Boho Décor Style at Home
Are you the kind of person who isn’t bothered by the rules of styles when it comes to interior décor? If the answer’s yes, then you’re probably familiar with boho chic that’s anything but conventional, restricted, and boring. Unique, bright, patterned, multi-cultural, and multi-layered - what’s not to love about this style that leaves a great deal of flexibility when you want to introduce more of your personality indoors.
It’s the kind of style that allows you to easily add changes into your abode, creating your own free-spirited mixture of colours and patterns. Still, in case you’re rather new to this type of décor, and you want to play it right, the following are some of the elements you can use to make the most of the interior transformation. Don’t take them as rules, but rather as inspiration for your next decorating game!
Layer Some Rugs
Okay, this has got to be one of the easiest ways to introduce the bohemian charm in your nest! Whether you’d like to keep it simple, or aren’t afraid to go big, you’ve got plenty of fancy boho rugs to pick from to add textures and patterns. Whether you’re up for bright and subtle colours, or wouldn’t mind welcoming contrasts, there are various designs you can shop from, and for that ultimate bohemian touch, details in the form of tassels and fringes.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match different rugs, like the different Oriental designs, for that look of utmost comfort and warmth, besides the splash of colours. Once you’ve got your own combo, be prepared to reap additional benefits such as improved insulation and sound absorption, besides the opportunity to introduce smaller rugs in big rooms without them seeming too tiny for the space. Now, for that last benefit that beats them all, if you want to make vacuuming and cleaning a breeze, be sure to choose low-maintenance materials like soft heat-set fibre blend.
Count on More Textiles
If you think you could move beyond simply relying on the luxurious boho rugs to get that lush bohemian vibe, you could always invest in more textiles. Using the rugs as the basis, you could look for cushions that match the hues or patterns. Additional elements you could splurge on include curtains, throws, as well as upholstery and woven wall décor like macrame.
As for the quality and fabrics, you have the chance to go big on organic natural materials in the example of jute, hemp and bamboo. This way you’d catch up with the 60s and 70s hippie culture influence on boho chic.
Choose Global and Cultural Decorations
Don’t worry if you haven’t had the chance to travel the world and get your own collection of decorating items from all over the globe – you can purchase different kinds of accessories from the different cultures and use them as accents. From the eye-catching Moroccan vases, Turkish lamps, and Chinoiserie jars, to the Native American wood carvings, and Asian paper lanterns, you’ve got lots of exotic options from the antique stores you can work with and mix and match them with the bohemian rugs.
This is sure to bring you that eclectic feel at home, as a true mixture of cultures without requiring you to go through the slightest of fuss. Speaking of cultures, bohemian wouldn’t be bohemian also without artistic and literary items either, so don’t forget to create your own collections of prints and books. If you’re into music, instruments and albums are other elements you can incorporate too.
This is the perfect solution to embodying the spirit of the artists who first lived the boho lifestyles. Moreover, it would encourage you to have quality conversations about your collections with family and visitors. Talk about getting the kind of home décor that’s full of life!
Buy Low-Lying Furniture
The more down to earth you are, the better, and I refer to the seating options you have at home. This could be sofas as much as chairs, armchairs and ottomans, and the lower they are, the more authentic the bohemian style would seem in your abode.
As they’re perfect for entertaining, you’d certainly achieve an incredible result if you pair them with the low coffee tables too. If by any chance you like to take it even more drastic than this, there’s the floor sitting option you can resort to – and for that to be a success, you have to count on the warmth and comfort of the carefully picked boho rugs.
This is the ideal solution if you’re short with the budget so you can’t afford to splurge on furniture, as well as if you’re short on space and the addition of more furnishings would make the rooms feel cluttered. For the extra added level of comfort, choose colourful poufs, or cushions in a variety of sizes and styles.
