60 Boho Decor Ideas You Can Add To Your Home
No doubt that every home design style offers ways for one to mark their personality in them. It’s always best expressed in the decor that goes along with that style. For some of these styles, the options can be limited due to the theme or a strict rule that comes with the style.
But when it comes to boho decor, you get a plethora of choices that aren’t bound by strict rules. There’s only one rule and that is there are no rules when it comes to boho-style decor. This makes it the perfect style for the wild cards and free spirits.
What is boho style decor?
Boho decor, sometimes referred to as Bohemian decor, is most often described as a “free-spirited” style. It is a style that was inspired by people who live an unconventional life such as travelers. Hence, sometimes you will see a mix and match of items that represent or showcase various groups of people and cultures from all over the world.
Boho decor is often associated with the arts due to the eclectic nature of the style. It is a style that encourages creativity, mixing all sorts of colors, patterns, and textures and turning a room into a livable space that oozes personality. Basically, you’re not supposed to hold back in this style as more is better.
What is the difference between boho and bohemian?
Boho and Bohemian have been used interchangeably most of the time. Bohemian is sometimes shortened as “boho”, or the latter serves as an informal way of saying “bohemian”. But according to some, there is a distinction in style between the two despite the very similar aspects.
Bohemian decor is said to be about romanticism, inspiring softness, and lightness, which is why weddings are filled with them. Flowers, natural or artificial, are common here. So are ribbons and light and pastel colors.
On the other hand, boho is a lifestyle that was inspired by Native Americans and Romani people. So, you can see some bits and pieces of elements from those cultures. Boho decor is said to mix natural elements with robust materials and spirituality. This means wood, greenery, stones, feathers, pearls, raw fabrics, etc.
What colors are considered boho?
Boho decor and style are free-spirited, unbound by any set of rules. There are some colors that are considered boho, like:
1. Warm, earthy colors
2. Metallic tones
3. Jewel tones
4. Deep browns
5. Greys
6. Saturated purple
7. Fiery orange
8. Electric blue
Saturated tones are common and sometimes referred to as the key to boho style. But you can experiment smartly and creatively using saturated colors as a backdrop for richer color tones. Create some interesting cool dynamics with the colors!
In general, you can combine and layer these colors to whatever suits your vision and aligns with boho decor. Mix and match them with various textures and patterns too!
