Terri Ramsey Beavers If you love the idea of having your home follow a more bohemian style but you aren’t quite sure how to accomplish this with the design and decor elements that you currently have, you’ll be glad to know that getting a bohemian look can be accomplished relatively easily and can be done while still incorporating other styles, too.
To help you see how this can be done, here are three ways to make your home look more bohemian.
Pull From Your Favorite Places Around The World
One thing that sets a bohemian influence apart from other influences is that it can take from all kinds of eclectic styles in order to make something that feels cohesive.
A great way to do this is to pull pieces from places around the world that you love, even if you haven’t been there. If you love certain Scandinavian pieces or designs from Morocco or the American southwest, find a way to include all of these things into your design. Not only will pulling from all kinds of places around the world help to bring a more bohemian design, but it will also help to have more of your personality be reflected in your space as well.
Use Natural Elements
When most people think about a bohemian design, they think of a lot of plants and other natural elements. So if you don’t already have a lot of plants or other natural elements in your space, this is a great place to start with your design.
While you can have a bohemian style with bright colors, you can also have a bohemian style while using a lot of natural colors and the elements that showcase those colors. For example, while many people might think about having concrete floors as a more modern design choice, you can make concrete floors look great with a bohemian design if you bring in other more natural elements to help balance it out. Things like leather and wood can work great for this.
Get Creative With Your Lighting
Lighting can play a big role in how bohemian your space looks. Knowing this, you can and should try to get as creative as possible with the lighting you choose to have in your space.
Ambient lighting lends itself particularly well to a bohemian style. Additionally, having twinkle lights or strings of light, even lights that might hang at various levels, can also be very bohemian and give any space a more bohemian feel. Just as long as you’re not using the standard lights that came with your home, they will likely add to the atmosphere you’re looking for.
If you’re wanting to help make your home look more bohemian and match that sense of style you love, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you achieve this.
