Solid Foundation

The key is to start with a simple base color for every room that is in Bohemian style. Earthy, warm tones make the perfect canvas. While having a neutral base allows you to play with patterns and color without it being too loud or overbearing to the eye.

Botanicals

Plants fit perfect with the Bohemian design style because they create a relaxed vibe but adds character to a room. They add beautiful pops of color while opening up a room and adding dimension. A bonus tip is that plants actually purify the air!

Plays on Pattern

Layering patterns that are similar is a cost-effective way of mastering this style. Have fun and mix and contrast different shapes, patterns, and styles to create the perfect bohemian space in your home. Choose a selection of colors that you can keep coming back to and reusing.

Low-Lying Furniture

This is a key factor; low-lying furniture is a staple in Bohemian style. Usually a low-backed sofa but with TONS of plushy softness for comfort. Floor seating is not an uncommon way to utilize low-lying. Many antique shops would have some selection, depending where you go and how lucky you are to find it.

Distressed Finds

Materials should look as if they had a life before they came to your hands. Bohemian is all about well-loved pieces that look as if they were from a flea market collected over years and years. Choose pieces that have personality, that could carry a room’s design.

Stay Away from Minimalism

This is a MAJOR thing. Stay away from all things Minimalism! It has no place here! Bring personality into your space by adding color, patterns, artwork and trinkets galore!

Bright, Bold Colors

The bolder the color, the better for Bohemian style. Jewel tones specifically work with decor (Pink, Purples, Greens, etc)

Metallics and Mirrors

Metallic and Mirrored surfaces are considered to be hallmarks of Bohemian design, especially for making a modern room appear brighter and larger. They also add focal points, along with a sense of every day glamor.

Layers

Use layers! Whether it is rugs, cushions, throw blankets, trinkets, etc. The sky is the limit

Artistic Accessories

Accessories should give off the impression you are well travelled meaning the items you display should be of many different styles and look put together over years and years of gathering.
