Bohemian style and its place in your home
Bohemian or Boho decorated homes are full of colors, emotions, exotic items, culture! The whole atmosphere is carefree, relaxed, and yet very intriguing. Every room, decorated in boho style is unique and very individual. Bohemian style is often chosen by people of art, constant travelers, actors and writers.
Bohemian homes like earth colors, warm colors, also metallic tones in each of their nuances. As base tones you can choose from the gray, green, brown range of colors. These cozy tones make the perfect neutral base and allows you to pile up expressive colors and patterns for your perfect mix. Accent the interior with brighter purple, rich orange or blue, add layers of textures and patterns. Play with the colors and make brave combinations to make your home alive. The same comes with textures and patterns – dream freely and mix different layers.
In regard to Decorative materials the ‘more is more’ philosophy is valid here. Gather items from other cultures, rich in symbols and history. Use your walls to show your favorite item – tapestry, art wall décor, rugs. They should have a little worn look, not shiny and new. Use lots of mirrors, candles, handmade items macramé art, fringe, crochet, tassels, pom poms. The whole feeling is for very cozy and comfortable space.
When choosing the furniture, look for old, vintage items. Every piece should carry special energy and story. The sofa and chairs are covered with plenty of plush, comfortable throw cushions, thick rugs, oversized floor pillows, big comfortable armchairs.
And don’t forget to add plants – Botanicals fit perfectly with bohemian style. They add relaxed vibe and dimension to the room. You will also get more fresh air, and will add one more color, without interfering too much with the rest of your design and making it too loud. Hanging plants are an excellent bohemian addition in any space, from a simple woven hanging basket, to something more ornate and sculptural – a variety of different plants in different scales are an effective way in bringing your bohemian style home to life.
If you are looking for a style that you can truly make your own, Boho might be for you. Use your imagination and express yourself freely to make your home outstand!
