If you’re after a bold look paired with mix-and-match furnishings in your living room, then your style might be a bit more in keeping with these \nboho living room decor ideas\n. Whereas, if your vibe is more curated and color scheme more muted, then a boho chic living room is where you’ll feel right at home. If that’s you, then take a read of those 6 boho chic living room ideas to get the look.\nBoho chic living room idea: opt for a bright and neutral colour scheme\nRattan? Check. Dried flowers? Double-check. But what we like the most about @43metroscuadrados boho chic living room is their bright and airy neutral color palette. Keep your paints muted, with \nwhites\n and \nbeiges\n and you can add flourishes of color with a splash of \ngreen\n or nature-inspired palettes. 

Boho chic living room idea: hang macrame, baskets, or wall tapestries\nMacramé and boho chic decor are a match made in boho heaven. This look is all about texture and by hanging macramé or wall tapestries, rather than art or photos it adds a 3D effect and softness to your walls. Whether it’s a handmade wall tapestry behind your sofa or macramé hanging baskets (with trailing plants, naturally), this decor idea can’t help but inject that boho chic look into your living room.\n

Boho chic living room idea: invest in a Moroccan pouf\nJust @sailorandscout over here showing us how to create a boho chic living room that’s totally, well, \nchic\n. The fireplace, lighting, and sofa are very grown-up, whilst a free form coffee table, oversized rug, and Moroccan pouf add that boho style, layering on the texture. Not only do Moroccan poufs look gorgeous, they also provide versatile seating or, with a tray placed on top, can be used as an extra table. We’re big fans.

Boho chic living room idea: go wild with dried flowers and plants\nBe it towering pampas grass, palm fronds, trailing indoor plants, or colorful dried bouquets—boho chic decor is all about foliage. Using plants in your interiors, be they dried or potted, connects you with nature and brings the outdoors in. It’s soothing on the eyes and makes your surroundings feel more homely and lived in. Plus there’s something very boho about the idea of making your own dried flower wreath, no?

Boho chic living room idea: incorporate natural woods\nWhilst we’re bringing the outdoors in, we should probably incorporate some natural woods into our boho chic living room. Whether it’s hardwood floors with an oversized, thick pile rug, a rattan sideboard or wicker furniture—natural wood furnishings will fit right in. And remember to have fun! If you’ve got space, look out for a rattan hanging egg chair or vintage peacock throne to give your living room that wow factor.

Boho chic living room idea: add textured throws, rugs and cushions\nAnd of course, rule number one of boho decor is texture, texture, texture! \nEspecially\n if you’re working with a neutral color palette. You can do this through textured rugs, throws, and cushions. Just like we mentioned with wall hangings, choose items that create a 3D effect.\n\nImagine cushions with tassels or pom-poms you can play with, a sheepskin rug you can’t help but run your fingers through, or a tactile throw you want to snuggle up in the moment you get home. You’re painting with texture, rather than color, so make it as visually interesting as you can.

Layers of white, lots of texture, there’s something quite dreamlike about \nboho chic decor\n in the bedroom. It can’t help but make you feel safe, cocooned, and like you’re sleeping on Cloud 9. Since the sixties and seventies, the \nboho home decor style\n has gone from strength to strength. But, heavy on color, it could feel a little overwhelming in your sleep space. That’s why if you’re a lover of all things boho, we’d recommend a soothing, neutral boho chic look in the bedroom.\n\nRead on to discover 8 failsafe ways to create a Pinterest-worthy boho chic bedroom.\nBoho chic bedroom idea: neutral color scheme\nGetting your color scheme right is key to getting that boho chic look on point. It’s subtle and understated—think oaty \nwhites\n and warm \nbeiges\n, like \nWhite 05\n and \nBeige 01\n. Take a look at our guide to \nunderstanding different neutral color palettes\n if you’re not sure which shade would work in your bedroom. They’re great for adding a touch of warmth and brightness to any space. If your bedroom is on the darker side, find out which are \nthe best neutral paint colors for a dark north facing room\n.\n\nOne way to add texture to a neutral color scheme is with nature-inspired \nwallpaper\n, like \nFern 01\n. We wouldn’t recommend you wallpaper the entire wall, as this might become overpowering in a boho chic bedroom. Just a \nfeature wall\n behind your bed, to create a dreamy, botanical feel.

Boho chic bedroom idea: macramé or wall tapestries\nRather than hanging art on your walls, what about hanging macramé or wall tapestries? In fact, why limit yourself to tapestries? Get experimental by hanging woven baskets, from large to small, in a scattered formation, as a statement \ngallery wall idea\n. Whether its baskets, macramé or a hand-woven boho chic wall tapestry, these artisanal handicrafts add softness and tactility to a hard surface: your wall.

Boho chic bedroom idea: light and airy linen curtains\nWe’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, the boho chic bedroom is all about creating a soft, dreamlike space. And what could be more dreamlike than light and airy lined curtains? You know the ones, they gently billow as a Balearic breeze drifts through open shutters. Back to Britain, and whilst we might be short on balmy breezes, you can still get the look with a pair of white or natural colored lined curtains—and don’t shy away from tassel or pom-pom trims. To complete the look, go for a tab curtain fitting, with a rustic wood curtain pole.

Boho chic bedroom idea: dried flowers and pampas grass\nYou might think they’re just the cherry on top, but personally, we think no boho chic bedroom is complete without at least a few stems of pampas grass. Rising to popularity in the seventies, these silky-soft dried grasses couldn’t have had more of a meteoric resurgence. And for good reason. Low maintenance yet high impact they are the chef’s kiss of boho chic decor. Display them in a woven basket or large vase, along with a dried flower bouquet, for an arrangement that you never have to change.

Boho chic bedroom idea: wooden or natural accents\nAs with a boho decor bedroom, wooden or natural accents are a key component to achieving the style. From teak wood bedside tables to a rattan headboard, a wicker chair to rustic open wood shelving—personally, we love the idea of a hand-carved room screen propped against a wall as a statement headboard. Whatever you go for, the boho chic bedroom is all about wooden or natural furnishings. A cohesive color scheme is all about balance and their earthy tones add warmth and contrast to an otherwise neutral space.

Boho chic bedroom idea: textured rugs and bedding\nNow for the fun bit. If you’re going boho chic in your bedroom you’re going to have to pile them high—or thick. We’re talking thick pile rugs, textured throws, tasselled cushions, the works. The palette stays neutral, so you’re achieving visual interest with layers and layers of texture. Remember: less is more when it comes to color but more is more when it comes to layers. If you’ve got space, try and arrange your furniture in a way that creates little cosy nooks in your room. You could use woven circle rugs to demarcate a reading corner or a Moroccan pouffe to create a relaxation space.

Boho chic bedroom idea: natural pendant lighting\nProper lighting really pulls a room together. In a boho chic bedroom, you want yours to be soft and your light fitting to make a statement. A woven basket turned lampshade, a handmade shell chandelier—you can really get creative. Still in the dark? Take a look at these \n5 pendant lighting styles that will enhance your decor\n. Or opt for the cult classic, the Ikea Sinnerlig bamboo pendant for a lamp that’s been tried and tested by interior designers and decor novices alike.

Boho chic bedroom idea: indoor plants\nLast but certainly not least you have indoor plants. They make a boho chic bedroom quite literally come alive. More than simply adding a splash of green to a neutral color scheme they have both mental and physical health benefits, including improved air quality and reduced anxiety: which will both help to aid a peaceful night’s slumber. Hang them in macramé planters or pot them in woven baskets and place them around the room. Keep it minimal for a subtle look or go full jungle and cram as many in as your bedroom can take.

There's a lot of buzz around boho, and judging by your home transformations, you guys, our decorating community, clearly love it. So, we thought we'd delve a little deeper into what the boho decor style \nis \nexactly. What are its tell-tale characteristics? And what is the history behind it?\n\nThe history behind the boho home decor style \nBoho decor is about freedom of expression through your interior choices. Often associated with the hippie movement of the 60s and 70s, its origins date back to 19th century Paris. The original proponents of ‘la vie bohème’, this rag-tag bunch of artists, writers, performers and nomadics celebrated a life less ordinary.\n\nIndividuals were free to be, well, individual and express themselves through creative means. They overturned traditional beauty standards by embracing the haphazard and unconventional. Their values and ideals were later adopted by the hippies embodying that "On The Road" life, transforming it into the boho style we know and love today.\n\nCharacteristics of the boho home decor style\nLoosely, the rules are there are no rules. Bohemian decor is defined by an absence of structure instead favouring a relaxed, carefree, globally-inspired aesthetic. Anything from along the 'hippie trail' and beyond, it's about showcasing your favourite finds \nfrom your travels\n, your artwork, and one-of-a-kind flea market finds.\n\nIt incorporates an eclectic mix of colours, patterns, and textures used in whatever way feels best for you. After all, it's about individuality.\n\nBohemian-inspired color palette\nWhen it comes to \npaint colors\n, this can mean anything from calming neutrals for a boho-chic look, to full-blown \nArt Deco-inspired pastel paint colours\n and \nmaximalist hues\n. Generally, with boho interiors, you'll see earthy neutrals painted on the walls, with accents of greens, yellows, pinks and reds in soft furnishings and all the trimmings. You can even add a textured look with jungle wallpaper and bright patterned cushions.

Bohemian decor pieces\nIf a \nneutral color palette on your walls\n is what you're after, you're going to want to add layers through careful selection of textures and furnishings. Think thick pile Moroccan rugs, fluffy Mongolian cushions, macramé hangings, weave baskets hung up on the walls and warm wood or rattan furnishings. \n\nColorful, oversized, handwoven Persian and Afghani rugs always look beautiful and when it comes to artwork - the bolder, the better.

On the other hand, if you're going for a brighter style and opt for bolder paint colors on your walls, such as \nRed 03\n or \nYellow 02\n, your colors will do the layering for you. You still want to use a range of different textures, but they won't be doing as much heavy lifting.

For a deeper dive into creating a boho interior style in your home, take a look at our \nboho living room decor ideas\n and \nboho bedroom decor ideas\n. The rules might be there are no rules, but these pointers will provide some helpful guidelines as you embark on your decorating journey.
