Get The Look: Boho-Chic in Your Home
Whether you identify as a free-spirit or are just inspired by creative patterns and vibrant prints, adding a touch of bohemian chic is a sure-fire way to create a home that’s truly original. There are no rules when it comes to this unconventional and effortless style – so celebrate the unique with a home that’s bursting with creativity and abstract art.
In today’s post, we’re travelling back to the hippie era to give you all the need-to-knows on how to create an inviting yet eccentric aura in your interior design project. From vibrant colours to the rich variation of textures, we’ll talk you through how to transform your blank canvas into a beautiful bohemian retreat.
1. Make an impact with feature walls
More is always more with bohemian style, and that’s all the more reason to opt for an attention-demanding feature wall in your interior. An eye-catching pattern cladding the walls is going to accentuate, rather than overpower, the busy yet beautiful space. Encaustic tiles are the perfect choice for your theme as they have the perfect balance of boho pattern and vibrant pigments. For such a distinctive look you’ll need to choose truly unique tiles, such as these vintage Palazzo tiles in blue. Clad your walls from floor to ceiling or embellish those smaller spaces with intricate tile designs. Wood effect and matt tiles can also help complement bright furnishings by providing a solid base.
2. Embellish everywhere with mosaics
As well as accessorising the room with your vast collection of art and worldly possessions that you’ve picked up on your travels, it’s important to add as much of your personality as you can to the room. That means it’s time to get creative – and what could be better than by creating your own mosaic mirror? Tiles are easily attached to the surround of the frame, but that doesn’t mean your guests need to know how simple it was to create! To make even more of an impact, transform your art to an even larger scale with mosaic flooring. We love the Bien Seramik hexagons – not only do they boast a beautiful overall effect, but the anti-slip matt finish makes them an ideal choice for mosaic bathroom tiles.
3. Opt for vibrant tones and variations of texture
It’s all about appealing to your senses with boho-chic, so start with touch and add a whole load of texture to the room. Layer soft furnishings and ornaments such as blankets, smooth glass, ragged woven rugs and distressed brick – the combination of these varying textures will create an inviting mismatch and contribute to that idea of a casual and effortless design. Bohemian interiors are similar to Moroccan themes in that vibrant colours are key. Match rich reds and pops of pinks with unexpected splashes of turquoise – opting for geometric patterns and stripes for maximum effect.
4. Blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor
With a theme that focuses on celebrating nature and rejecting the norms of established society, it’s only appropriate to welcome the great outdoors inside. Leafy green plants are a fantastic source of colour and intensify the wild and ethical feel that boho-lovers are seeking. It’s all about opposing conventions, so opt for tree branch cuttings and plants rather than an arranged floral bouquet.
5. Keep it low-level
Maintain this low-maintenance look in every aspect of the room – including the seating. Cushions, poufs, a pillow-filled couch – anything low-level will provide the perfect place to lounge. The bohemian vibe is all about avoiding fussy furniture, so opt for inviting layers of textured cushions rather than statement sofas.
