Do you also want to make your home incredible with boho decor? Check out the main tips for following this trend below.
What is it?
Before explaining how to use boho style in your home decor, it is important to explain the origin of this trend. The word “boho” comes from bohemian, a lifestyle associated with carefreeness, art, and, above all, freedom. For this reason, boho decor is known for mixing different references, colors, and textures.
The styles most commonly used in this trend are ethnic and hippie. However, it also allows these references to be mixed with oriental, punk, romantic, country, and vintage elements, for example.
At this point, you may be wondering: how can I use all these styles harmoniously? We’ll show you below!
With neutral colors
Those who want boho decor probably want a space rich in textures, colors, and patterns. However, the main tip for avoiding excess and ensuring balance in the decor is to use neutral tones as a base. The most commonly used are beige, brown, white, black, gray, and caramel. Even a palette of pastel tones, such as the pink of this rug, is welcome.
Another way to maintain balance in boho decor is to choose a space with white walls, flooring, and cabinets, for example, adding boho references through the details. In this sense, you can use plants, wooden furniture, textured rugs, and vintage elements. You can be sure that the result will be a cozy and harmonious space.
With bold colors
You already know that neutral colors are essential for avoiding excess. But that doesn’t mean bold tones should not be used. On the contrary, this trend calls for vibrant colors, especially shades of red, orange, and green.
To include them in the space, you can choose one element to be the focal point of the decor, such as this Kapazi rug set. From there, you can choose other decorative items that complement the main piece. In this case, in addition to orange, green, and blue tones, you can also look for items with straight and zigzag stripe patterns, for example.
Use rugs
If one of the main goals of boho decor is to make the space cozier, rugs are essential to the composition. After all, besides allowing for layering and countless combinations, they are also great allies for those who cannot alter their home’s flooring. In other words, with them you can reveal your personality in the space without making structural changes.
A great example of a rug that can be used in boho decor is this Kapazi model. After all, in addition to featuring a tribal pattern, it can also be feasily combined with other elements in different textures and colors.
Plants
If there is one thing that cannot be missing from boho decor, it is plants. They are featured in this trend especially through the influence of the hippie style, which values lightness and peace in spaces. To include them in your home, you can create arrangements and experiment with different combinations of foliage.
However, if you don’t have much time or skill to care for them, succulents are a great choice, since, besides being delicate, they require little care. In addition, you can also bring nature indoors through patterns. This rug from Kapazi’s Tropical Line is an excellent example.
Fabrics and crafts
In addition to plants, other elements are also essential for creating boho decor: fabrics and crafts. Fabrics are important precisely because they bring more comfort to the space. For this reason, we recommend using bedspreads in the living room, comforters and throws in the bedrooms, and plenty of rugs throughout the home, especially if they are shaggy, like this model.
Handcrafted elements, meanwhile, are used in boho decor especially to add a vintage touch to the composition. At this point, you can make abundant use of pictures, illustrations, embroidery, baskets, macramé, and other decorative items.
