Furniture
Luxurious large pillows for resting on the
floor can often be found in a Boho home,
paired with low coffee tables and ottomans
this create a comfortable and pleasant living
environment. Wicker and rattan are key elements in a Boho home as they give the indoor outdoor feeling of a carefree life. When
sourcing furniture for your Boho home its
best to source furniture from flea-markets,
garage sales and auctions – there you may
find something really unique and original.
The older the piece, the better it looks in
Bohemian environment. However, don’t go
extreme: incorporate some modern items as
well, otherwise your interior will end up looking like a garage sales itself!
How to achieve a bohemian
interior design style
Be unique Your personality will play a huge role in expressing this style within
your home. So don’t hold back – express yourself as only you know how too. If
you love photos of loved ones around you embrace this and scatter them everywhere after all you can always remove them if you change your mind,
It’s eclectic and busy If you like a nice and neat, totally organized, streamlined,
symmetrical foundation for your furnishings and accessories - then turn around
and run from the Bohemian style of decorating! You’d probably enjoy more of a
modern / contemporary design style. Bohemian interior design is the exact opposite with a seemingly random, carefree design
Bare spots not allowed See an empty corner? Fill it. Bare spot on your wall?
Cover it. Consider using throws on naked furniture pieces, wall hangings on bare
walls. This is one of the key to bohemian interior design
Be free… but keep it tasteful You can mix and match furniture and accessories to your hearts content, however - if it looks like you’ve just thrown up your
arms and tossed everything into one big pile in the living room, then you’ll need
to back up and gingerly allow a little rhyme and reason to show through. While
the idea of “throwing everything together” sounds simple enough, if not careful
your design will simply be referred to as chaotic. You want the living environment
to express a carefree lifestyle not mayhem.
