Boho interiors are intriguing, casual and nonchalant. Filled with warm colours, they are a pleasure to be in. The boho style started as early as the 19th century in France. Its name is derived from the word "La Boheme", meaning the artistic bohemians of Paris who decided to live by their own, somewhat frivolous, rules. This is because the hippie philosophy called for a life full of freedom and joy on the one hand and disregarded the strict laws of existence on the other. A distinctive feature of the Paris bohemian movement was its commonality - the importance of spending time together and creating art that opposed materialism and convention.
A relaxed approach to life and enjoying it is very evident in boho interiors. Creating a controlled artistic disorder makes spaces unique and incredibly cosy. Arrangements inspired by Parisian bohemia work well in small flats and large spaces of family homes.
A boho-style bedroom is ideal for those who love to surround themselves with natural motifs, plants and raw materials. It is a space that creates a downright perfect environment for unrestrained relaxation. How to achieve it in your interior? The first thing to focus on is the appropriate colour scheme to create a truly cosy, comfortable, atmospheric space. Boho interiors draw inspiration from nature; the best colours are those that are associated with it. The boho bedroom would not be complete without beige, brown and white shades.
The main element of the boho bedroom is the bed. Opting for a simple wooden piece of furniture with an openwork headboard is best. A bed with an airy canopy, which will give the space a delicate feel, is a version that is sure to appeal to romantics. The boho bedroom must also include lamps made of bamboo, rattan baskets with green potted plants, and various wall decorations such as macramé, dream catchers or boho canvas prints in natural colours.
A boho-style living room, like a bedroom, should be kept in natural colours. Decorative elements include wallpaper imitating white bricks. On the wall, hang the macramé as mentioned earlier, or use mirrors in decorative wicker frames.
When choosing furniture for the living room in boho style, it is good to resign from heavy and massive structures in favour of lighter forms. Furniture made of wicker will look great - they bring softness to the space and blend well with the natural atmosphere. A rocking chair or a swing will be a great idea, emphasising the space's holiday and carefree essence.
The focal point of the living room is a large, comfortable sofa in a light shade and a wooden coffee table with visible rings and cracks. Distinctive and original accessories should complement the entire space with unique accessories - boho-style interiors overflowing with green potted plants and bouquets of dry grasses and flowers. You can place plants in seagrass baskets or wicker covers. Remember other boho accessories, such as decorative cushion covers, fringed blankets, airy window curtains and bamboo lamps. Posters in the boho style, such as Stone Silence or Plume of dreams, are also ideal.
There is a pleasant and family atmosphere in the boho-style kitchen. The cosy character is emphasised at every turn by both warm colours and natural materials. When choosing furniture for a boho kitchen, it is worth focusing first and foremost on the fact that it should be made of wood and feature a high degree of functionality. In this type of space, simple forms and, for example, veneered fronts will look great. A large family table, combined with chairs such as wicker, rattan or bamboo with soft cushions, should be included in the interior. Above the dining area, there can be large lamps made of similar materials and delicate curtains or linen curtains in the window.
The boho kitchen cannot do without carefully matched accessories. In addition to natural textiles in the form of dishcloths, try wicker baskets for storing accessories, wooden containers and kitchen accessories, herbs in clay pots. You can also try boho-coloured canvas prints and macramé on the walls and ceramic vases with dried flowers on the table.
The boho style is one of the most eco-friendly. Therefore, it is worth ensuring that most of the accessories included in the interior are made from eco-friendly materials and are environmentally friendly. This style will undoubtedly be loved not only by nature lovers but also by those who favour unfettered artistic freedom. As the boho style originates from a creative, rather extravagant environment, handicrafts are very welcome as accessories. The boho interior becomes not only cosy but also highly personal.
Boho arrangements are suitable for more than just cosy bedrooms and representative living rooms - you can create an extraordinary boho effect in a bathroom! Proper space planning can transport you to a truly exotic place for your evening bath!
Boho bathrooms are full of elements that take up absolutely every available space. However, these need to be arranged to avoid creating unnecessary chaos in the room. For a natural feel, opt for tiles that imitate natural wood and combine them with wicker furniture. When choosing fittings, it is better to use warm colours such as gold or brass. And remember a large mirror in a gold or wicker frame! The final step is to decorate the boho bathroom with jute rugs, light curtains, plants and woven baskets for towels or toiletries.
The Boho style is the opposite of minimalism. The most important aspect is the material - it should be natural and ecological. So it is no surprise that the market offers a considerable number of accessories that perfectly emphasise the natural character of a space. Above all, there is seagrass, linen, cotton, sisal, rattan or hemp rope.
Absolute "must haves" are, above all, decorative fringed cushions, soft bedspreads and also rugs made of cord. Macramé ornaments also characterise the style, i.e. hand knotted strings. These include wall decorations and flowerbeds hanging from the ceiling, in which green plants such as Epipremnum and Ceropegia will look great. Tall pampas grasses in ceramic vases are also highly effective. Round mirrors in decorative frames, woven baskets and boho posters also feature among the boho accessories.
Boho is a delightful interior design style that free and romantic souls enjoy. It is a style that allows you to constantly play with form and express yourself through the aesthetics of the space. Lacking rigid rules allows complete freedom and nonchalance, resulting in unique and truly individual arrangements.
