‘Whitewashed walls, paint effects, bare floorboards and polished concrete are brought to life by vibrant rugs and wall hangings, a woven chair or two, and a veritable jungle of house plants – clustered in pots, hanging from the ceiling or even growing on living walls.’ How do you style a bohemian living room?Ī bohemian living room is successfully styled with tons of texture – such as wicker, seagrass and wool – layered one over the other, along with low level seating, and low-slung coffee tables.Ĭharacterized by lots of pattern, fun, bright colors, and plenty of vintage finds – from furniture from different eras to quirky accessories – bohemian living room ideas often feature a ton of house plants, too. This trend gives the traditional boho look a contemporary overhaul, with a peppier color palette, lighter woods and practical, functional pieces designed for modern living. ‘The modern bohemian living room is a place where creativity, individuality, and a wild mix of color and pattern meet in a contemporary environment,’ says Emily Henson, author of Bohemian Modern (opens in new tab). I love to layer all sorts of items on and around it, from vintage plates and houseplants to beautiful coffee table books.' How can I make my living room bohemian? 'Personally I love to style my rattan furniture next to warm colors and prints – our living room is a dark terracotta, for example. You can’t go wrong,' says Louise Roe, founder of Sharland England (opens in new tab) that specialises in wicker furniture. 'The wonderful thing about rattan is it’s essentially a neutral, so if your taste is far more modern or minimalist, it works in that kind of environment too.
If you're looking to inject a little 1970s boho into your interiors you can't go wrong with decorating with vintage woven furniture made from wicker and rattan. Mix and match colorful prints with antiques A home for me is a collection of all my most favourite things gathered in one place.' 16. I love to layer color and pattern in interiors over time. 'Vintage textiles have a certain faded elegance which makes them easy to mix and match as the muted colors all work really well together. For me, mix and match is much more interesting, particularly old with new and pieces I've inherited that have meaning,' says Chloe Jonason (opens in new tab) who creates beautifully handcrafted homewares alongside providing a bespoke curtain, blinds, upholstery and design service. I collect items from my travels that remind me of the adventures I've had, resulting in timeless interiors. ‘I love to mix fabrics, patterns and textures in my interiors fearlessly. From embroidered suzanis to Indian kantha designs, there's a huge array available at Chloe Jonason Interiors. Layer vintage fabrics from across the globeĬushions made from vintage textiles from around the world are a fabulous way to introduce color, pattern and texture to a bohemian living room, as well as to celebrate the exquisite craftsmanship of different cultures. 'Not only does it create the frame of the room, it will also deliver the most impact, and, by beginning with your favorite wallpaper, you can then select from the hues within the design to layer in additional color and pattern more easily.' 15.
When looking to embrace a maximalist bohemian living room the wallpaper is an excellent place to start, says Stefan Ormenisan. Today we are proud to reference our ancestors with this same approach of celebrating color and pattern, and revel in creating interiors that tell a story.' Rich in detail these patterns were used to add joyful color as well as to soften the often hard edges of the wooden furniture and the overall interior. ‘Traditional homes in Transylvania were jubilantly dressed with layers of embroidered textiles, each created by hand. There are no set rules,’ says Stefan Ormenisan, MD and founder of Mind the Gap (opens in new tab).
'This approach to interiors is very much about creating a space that you love, which is truly unique, full of personality and character. Bohemian decor is about throwing caution to the wind, so, if you love ornate prints, feel free to layer them to your hearts content to create a maximalist look as the designers at the home brand Mind the Gap have done in this space by layering up wallpapers and fabrics inspired by Transylvanian heritage.
