Go Boho With These Simple Steps
The Boho style takes a free-spirited and laid-back approach with its artistic and avant-garde design.
Gabriel Gil, Head of Design & Innovation at Bonito Designs said, “The Bohemian approach, as a melting pot of cultures and styles, allows the designer tremendous freedom. However, it is easy to overdo this freedom, resulting in a cluttered, disorganized home”.
Here are tips:
Play with colors. Bohemian vibes can be incorporated in various ways, whether minimalist or vibrant, neutral, or multi-hued. If you are not a fan of colorful places, choosing neutral colors for the walls, furniture like sofa, coffee table, and rugs can work wonders. One can also use leather and wicker to add a touch of modernistic Boho culture without going overboard. At the same time, if you prefer colors, try adding bright and vibrant colors in the form of cushions or tiles. With neutral color walls, such contrasting hues can liven up the place.
Add souvenirs from around the world. Bohemian culture has been widely appreciated by people filled with wanderlust. So, adding global accents such as vintage liquor bottles, handmade bird cages, blue potteries from Holland, Bohemian Glass from the Czech Republic, and Irish Whiskey, can effectively give your home authentic Boho vibes. You can collect these souvenirs while traveling around or order them from reliable platforms.
Mix and Match because nothing screams Boho like a quirky fusion. True Bohemian art is all about expressing your inner creative madness with a hint of style. You can also spruce old furniture or bedsheets and use DIY hacks to make something unique and truly personalized. If you don’t want to take this route, add rich, vibrant colors or patterns like geometric shapes with muted colors. And, in case you have sitting space near a window, make it aesthetically appealing by adding colorful cushions and rugs. Moreover, you can always explore a flea market to find the most appropriate furniture and combine it with existing pieces.

From potted Monstera plants to Pothos, there are several plants that you can add to your home to up your Bohemian decor game. You can also create a premium Boho haven by adding plants like cacti, ferns and calatheas, which are readily available.
