If You Want a Bohemian-style Room, Consider Getting These Things

img

Are you hoping to add a bohemian-chic touch to your room? It will take much more than colors and textures to get the look. While mixing and matching different pieces can be fun, doing so takes a bit of know-how. Here’s all you need to know about creating a bohemian room that will make you feel trendy and hip.

What Is a Bohemian-style Room?

A bohemian room is characterized by its eclectic mix of furniture, colors, and patterns. The bohemian aesthetic is all about being unique and carefree. It was inspired by the bohemian artists and writers of the early 1900s who were known for their free-spirited lifestyle. When designing a bohemian room, you’ll want to mix different textures, colors, and patterns to create a space that reflects your personality.

The Essential Bohemian Style Colors

While bohemian-style rooms can be decorated with any color, some hues are more commonly used. These colors include:

Earth tones: brown, tan, beige, and rust

Jewel tones: blue, green and purple

Neutrals: black, white and gray

When choosing colors for your bohemian room, don’t be afraid to mix and match. You can add a pop of color with accent pieces like pillows or rugs. To play it safe, consider a neutral or earthy monotone background for your walls and floor and use furniture items to add the necessary colors and textures to the room.

Things That Give a Boho Vibe to Your Room

Although bohemian-style rooms vary significantly by your aesthetic, some things have a classic bohemian vibe that is hard to miss. Consider getting the following things for your room:

  • Rattan furniture

Rattan furniture is often used in bohemian-style rooms. This type of furniture is made from woven palm fronds and has a natural, earthy look. It’s the perfect addition to any bohemian room because it adds texture and interest. You can consider buying rattan hanging chairs, couches, peacock chairs and tables.

  • Persian or hand-crafted rugs

A bohemian room wouldn’t be complete without a Persian or hand-crafted fringe rug. These rugs add color, pattern and texture to any space. They are also the perfect bohemian-style statement piece. If you’re on a budget, you can find these rugs at many thrift stores or online retailers. Make sure the carpet matches the motifs of your room or is at least not too complex to draw away attention from the other pieces.

  • Floral murals and art

Floral murals and artwork are another bohemian must-have. These pieces add a touch of femininity and romance to any room. There are many themes that these murals follow, from Bob-Marley-inspired art to patterns seen during Dias De Los Muertos. Surprisingly, there are many DIY floral art stickers that can bring your wall to life in an instant.

  • Moroccan accessories

Moroccan accessories are a great way to add pattern and texture to your bohemian room. These pieces can include lanterns, vases, throw pillows, puffs and even wall hangings. Look for themed shops or buy Moroccan accessories online for the most authentic effect. Try matching the patterns on these accessories to your rug or mural art.

  • Indoor green plants

Any bohemian room is incomplete without some leafy plants or modest succulents to add some pop of green. Indoor plants help purify the air and add a touch of nature to your space. They also help symbolize the freedom from city life and connection to nature. Be sure to pick plants that are known to do well indoors and require little maintenance.

With our tips and the addition of our recommendations, you’ll have a lovely looking, bohemian-inspired room in no time!
