Boho is the buzzword of the recent past with every artistic picture on Pinterest and Instagram captioned with hashtag boho. Though used as an umbrella term for all-things-artistic and unconventional, the word boho is actually short for the adjective bohemian, a group of travellers from Bohemia, Czech Republic.
The style of the gypsies of the past was, thus, passed on from one place to another – where they travelled – and evolved and blended with the local culture in parts of Europe and America. Originally the style of free spirits and nomads, the modern boho style is chic, eclectic and has a tinge of vintage style.
Before we dive into the details of Boho decorating, remember that there are no rules when it comes to Boho. It’s freestyle and a combination of different cultures from across the globe put together – creating a mixed unconventional style. Here’s how you can give your home a Boho makeover:
- Pick Warm, Earthy Colours
Pick deep browns, greys, and dark greens as your main theme. To add a bit of contemporary-ness, consider white undertones to your interiors. Go all out with patterns, and make sure to layer with rugs, throws, tapestries, wall art, and so on. That being said, do not restrict yourself to just the earthy colours. Add a pop of eclectic orange, blue or any colour you like, wherever you can.
- Add Furniture Made of Natural Material
Traditional Bohemian furniture would be vintage furniture that act as timeless interior elements no matter where placed. If you can’t get your hands on vintage furniture, you can always choose bamboo furniture – they have a very easy-going vibe that would suit your idea of a Boho home. Try Google-ing bamboo furniture and you will know what we are talking about.
- Focus on Patterns and Prints
The hallmark of boho chic style is patterns and prints. Think ethnic patterns, tribal prints, florals, paisleys, and geometric patterns. Pick rugs, cushions, wall art with bright prints and layer these over the sober brown-grey-green theme.
- Play Around with Lighting and Accessories
To complete the earthy and calm ambience, use understated lights instead of bright LED lights. Lanterns, electric candles, table lamps, floor lamps and other decorative light fixtures should do justice and beautifully unify the Boho elements of your room.
- Include Potted Plants to the Boho Theme
Boho embraces nature, so bring your room to life with potted plants of your choice. Large pots in the living area seating indoor plants that need minimal sunlight, hanging plants around your balcony, and tiny succulents around the house should cover significant ground and lend sufficient vibrancy to your home.
