This style unleashes texture, color and pattern in a way that is very relaxed but unique each time. A lot of bold prints are used.

The 7 Principles

• Balance
• Emphasis
• Contrast
• Rhythm
• Proportion and scale
• Details
• Harmony and unity

Each one of these principles has a key part in designing and interior. When something is balanced everything feels right. It feels like everything is placed just right.

1. Balance

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.

Radial Balance

This is the least used of the above mentioned types, mostly used with stairs, round dining table or a chandelier to try and create a balanced space.

Asymmetrical Balance

This is the most popular type of balance for modern designed spaces. Any element in odd numbers can be utilized as long as the focal point is in a imaginary central axis.

2. Emphasis

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!

3. Contrast

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.

4. Rhythm

People think about Contrast, Rhythm and Scale at the same time when searching for a perfect combination to achieve Balance and overall at the end we are looking for Harmony of space coming together. You can use five techniques to encourage Rhythm in your space… You should NOT use all of the different techniques at one time.

1. Contrast
2. Transition
3. Gradiation
4. Radiation
5. Repetition

5. Scale and proportion

Scale: refers to one object’s size concerning another. The concept is used when one object’s size is known for sure. Proportion refers to the size relationship between two different objects.

6. Details

These will be the finishing touches you add to the space you are designing. Paying attention to the small details are very important, they are the biggest role and can be what makes or breaks your space in between being fun or being boring. The small details are what you need to complete your room.

7. Harmony and unity

After completing all the rest of the steps, you have to think you are almost done, right? Unity is when similar elements are combined together, they just feel/look right inside of the space. To achieve Harmony, you will need a good eye. It is when things seems to belong together, repetition of design such as shape, form, color and texture. Harmonious spaces tend to give off a peaceful vibe and your end result is exactly how you want the space to be. I did extensive researchhere, here, and here.
