Take up Boho Chic: Plunge into the Mastery of Free Living with Five Sensational Interior Home Design Ideas for Adopting the Bohemian Lifestyle
The Bohemian lifestyle adopts spontaneity and an unorthodox way of living. Bohemian interior design is a diverse mix of colors, patterns and textures to embody this carefreeness. This style of design encourages the designer to think outside the box.
These are a few guidelines to follow to a bohemian interior design:
-Include an eclectic mix
-Use natural materials
-Use personal objects that tell a story
-Accentuate coziness
Mixing and Layering
One of the keys to bohemian design is merging different combinations. Opposed to a minimalistic style of approach, boho design combines both mixing finishes and layering decor like art, textures and colors. For example, layering pillows of different shapes and colors can add depth to the living space. Moroccan rugs are known for their intricate designs. Adding a Moroccan style rug can visually uplift the brightness of the place. Throw blankets over the arm or back of the sofa can make the whole space seem more cozy and inviting.
Rich patterns and colors
Colors are an integral part of bohemian style homes. In most of these spaces we can see the usage of jewel themed colors such as reds, blue, oranges and greens. If you are not a fan of this color palette, then choosing light colors for your walls can also work by adding and mixing different bold patterns and prints. Indian patterns such as ajrakh and ikat can bring in splashes of color to your space. Wallpapers can be used to create an accent wall.
Flooring
When it comes to flooring options, solid wood with visible imperfections can add to the lived-in look of the space. For people on a budget, there are many affordable and eco-friendly options such as SPC, vinyl and wooden laminate flooring available.
Another option is to use printed tiles. Moroccan and mosaic tiles are popular chives for boho chic homes. Natural stone or natural stone finish tiles can make the space look earthy and relaxed.
Antique aesthetic
Mixing antiques or antique looking deco with modern looking pieces can create a contrast. Check the size and symmetry of these objects to make sure they don't create an imbalance. Use one or two antique pieces to serve as a focal point for the whole room. Natural materials like rattan and stone deco can also be used to add a vintage appeal.
