Boho Style Decoration - 4 Basic "Rules"
What is boho decoration?
The boho-chic decorating style has entered our lives for good. Having left behind the outdated English countryside floral style, we are moving towards a more natural style, with calm tones and wonderful materials.
The boho-chic or bohemian style of decoration is inspired by people who like to travel and who are directly connected to nature, it uses natural materials inspired from different parts of the world.
He uses simple lines in furniture in the natural color of beech, walnut or oak and lets colored and special fabrics and objects play a starring role. However, somewhere, a very special piece of furniture or lighting can pop up that looks as if it has returned in the owner's suitcases from his adventures.
1. Colors
Although there are no specific colors associated with this decorating style, we prefer earthy, metallic and jewel tones . Use colors like white, off-white, brown, gray and green for a base and colors like orange, aqua, electric blue, yellow and purple as well as touches of black and white.
2. Layering
Another key characteristic of boho-chic fashion is layering, the use of throws , rugs , fabrics that overlap one part of the other, giving the space a sloppy but still calm character.
3. Tone on tone
Choose tones of grey, white and beige in a tone-on-tone game.
4. Decorative Materials and Products
The general rule of Boho chic decorating is that there is no rule. Nevertheless, we can confidently say that it is not minimal but rather maximalist . More is more, hence the layering, the many pillows and pattern on pattern.
Place macrame on your wall, throws on your bed and sofa, and throw lots of pillows in different textures and sizes.
Also don't be afraid to use different textures and patterns that wouldn't fit in other conventional decorating styles. They give a playful and exotic touch to your space.
Use shaggy rugs , cotton decorative pillows, knitted blankets / duvet covers / blanket and fur throws /pillows and poufs .
The materials in this decorating style look washed out and old but that's what makes them look more natural (natural-earthy). Tassels, furs and pom-poms also give your space a playful style.
Use handmade products , carpets , throws, duvet covers and blankets as well as accessories from your travels or from different parts of the world.
