From our design studio: How to Create Your Own Bohemian-Themed Rooms
Bohemian rooms are well-suited for those who want a warm atmosphere filled with soft colors and comfortable furniture or flooring. This aesthetic has lots of texture from rugs on dusty floors or cozy blankets that are thrown over pillows to soft tie-dyes on the walls. All of this comes together to help your space feel homey and inviting.
To help you transform your home, we've come up with a few tips to get the bohemian look:
- Start by choosing a color scheme. Bohemian style is all about embracing different colors and patterns, so mix and match to your heart's content! Try using bright colors like red, orange, yellow, or green, or go for a more earthy vibe with browns, tans, and neutrals.
- Try incorporating different textiles like rugs or blankets. A good way to give the room more texture is by mixing high pile fabrics with low pile fabrics - this will create contrast and definition without making the space look too busy!
- Add some natural elements like plants, flowers, or a water feature. This will help to create a more relaxed and organic feel in the room.
- Use furniture with interesting shapes and designs. Try mixing different styles of furniture to add visual interest - this is especially great for smaller spaces!
- Hang some colorful artwork or mirrors. Artwork is a great way to add personality to any room, and mirrors can help to make a space feel larger.
- And lastly, don't be afraid to accessorize! Add some throws, pillows, or rugs in different textures and patterns to really bring the bohemian style together.
