Guía del estilo Boho

Bohemian Colors

• With bohemian, since there are no rules, there aren’t standard main colors or accent colors. You can go for a clean look, a bold style, or somewhere in the middle.
• If you want to keep a cleaner look, select a more neutral base such as white or tan, using the more intense colors in your textiles and décor in layers.
• If you want to create a bold statement, choose a striking color such as vivid pink, amethyst purple, clementine orange, avocado green, or azure blue for your walls, adding more colors through your décor choices.
• Metallic golds and bright shades of emerald greens, royal blues, pinks, and reds are important in a bohemian-styled space. Bright colors set the stage for the eclectic mesh of style.

Bohemian Furniture

Ever since the online market has taken a flight, we can find boho-style furniture almost anywhere; but the true boho furniture can not be found on any online store. Pieces are found and gathered over time and are usually secondhand, vintage, or bought from local artisans. A vintage shop is the best stop if you want to shop for boho-style furniture; couches and chairs tend to be comfortable and plush, creating a sit back and lounge-around kind of feel.  You’ll also find daybeds, chaises, and hanging chairs.

A facet of boho design is the contrast between old and new. You can place your secondhand vintage pieces next to something completely modern. A clean-lined chair can have a fringed throw draped over it, or a sleek table can hold a lamp with a beaded shade. The gist is that not everything needs to go together perfectly, but rather, should follow a more laissez-faire approach.

Integrate Boho style into your home

Now let’s dive into the deep colorful ocean of Boho to learn how we can infuse this style in our homes without creating a mess.

Choose Lots of Rich Colors

Walking in a Boho room, you can expect any color of the rainbow in it; typically, rich colors and earthy tones are found common. Use olive green, magenta, deep blue, or saffron. Boho theme allows you to layer plenty of colors and lets you mix warm and cool colors. 

Layer Textures and Patterns

A key element in a Boho home is the addition of natural textures. Include a lot of woven materials like rattan, sisal, knits, and hemp. Cover your wall with handmade tapestries like macramé, weaves, batiks, and more. Fringed and kilim rugs are also welcomed and look great in a Boho interior. Mix and match different patterns; floral, stripes, ethnic prints, paisley, anything goes with this style. Enjoy the freedom of experimentation!

Mix Old and New Furniture

Typically in a Boho home, a few secondhand or vintage pieces are included. Whether old or new, furniture pieces must be fluffy, plush, and welcoming. Create an ambiance that is casual and unpretentious — use floor cushions, poufs, and footstools. A weathered curio cabinet and a few oversized pillows in the corner to create a reading nook will look fantastic.

Bring the Nature in With Plants

Adding plants in your space will amplify textural elements, bring beautiful colors, and intensify a vibrant, unpredictable feel. Try to blur the line between inside and outside as much as possible in your Boho home. Move beyond fresh-cut flowers in vases by adding dried tree branches in glass vessels and arrange a few spectacular terrariums to bring a wild vibe inside.
