Bohemian style is all about creating a laid-back look that reflects a free-spirited nature. Natural and earthen colour palettes work great in a bohemian home interior. Opt for colours such as elegant cream and beige and team with soft mocha, rich chocolate, orange and mustard hues for a more vintage feel within your chosen room. If you wish to create a more modern twist to your bohemian interior design then why not include some bold and bright colour palettes featuring red, blue, green and sunshine yellow that are sure to create an eye-catching, fiesta inspired look within your home.

When selecting furniture for your bohemian interior don’t be afraid to mix and match your styles and designs to create the perfect twist of old, new, cultural and regional designs that will create character within your chosen space. Wood and rattan designs make a perfect choice for this look as they bring together the relaxed yet cosy feel of the natural environment. You could team these with carved filigree style furniture items such as African and Mediterranean style designs or mosaic tiled tables that will create a pop of colour in your home interior. Scatter the furniture items around the room using one main item as your focal point such as a wardrobe, bed, coffee table or dresser in order to avoid the room looking overcrowded, cluttered or messy.

Soft furnishings play a huge role in creating the cosy and inviting feel of a bohemian interior and are a great way of creating colour and texture within your chosen space. Opt for as many natural fabrics as possible such as linen, cotton, crotchet and knitted items that will look great in every room of the home. A thin tribal or mandala print rug will look great located in the centre of the room and can also be hung from a main feature wall as an alternative to a canvas or wall art. Select a variety of cushions and throws in contrasting styles and colours such as bold Mexican and Spanish patterns and natural tribal designs. These can be paired with chunky knitted items, crocheted throws ad bedding, suede tasselled cushions and fur blankets for a cosy and welcoming feel that is eye-catching and detailed.
