At some point or another, we bet you’ve come across bohemian design; it’s a bright, patterned, multi-cultural melange of memorable layers and elements you simply can’t miss or forget for its uniqueness.
The word ‘bohemian’ refers to someone who is socially unconventional and often involved in the arts, making it a great interior design option for a rich and heady space full of visual interest and a relaxed spirit. But what makes bohemian style so distinctive and viable, and how do you get the look right in your home without coming off as heavy handed?
As we continue our Design Style series breaking down the essentials of different movements to consider for your home, we’re looking at tried and true routes to create your own perfectly curated bohemian style space with advice culled from Décor Aid designers.
To create a solid foundation, start with a simple base color for every bohemian style room. Warm and earthy tones make the perfect canvas, and opting for a neutral base allows you to pile up expressive color and pattern for the perfect mix without it being painfully overbearing and loud.
Saturate neutral tones with color by keeping the base tone muted to create a harmonious, soothing oasis boasting modern bohemian décor. If you do go for a bright base tone, it may be too rich and you’re certain to find yourself bored quickly with a somewhat chaotic starting point. When it comes to longevity, a neutral color palette is always wise.
Botanicals fit perfectly with bohemian style as plants are an affordable and easy to source method in creating a relaxed vibe while adding dimension to a room. Plants also do double duty of purifying air while adding a pop of color without interfering too much with the rest of your design and confusing the eye.
Hanging plants are also an excellent bohemian addition in any bohemian space, and are a beautiful and fun way to add interest and depth. Get creative with planters and keep those featuring personality and great design in mind.
From a simple woven hanging basket, to something more ornate and sculptural – a variety of different plants in different scales are an effective way in bringing your bohemian style home to life.
