10 Inspiring Spaces with a Bohemian Twist

I don’t know about you guys, but to me, home decor can sometimes feel a little too serious. I got so excited about adding a more relaxed and colorful vibe to my home, but I have to admit, I was a little disappointed with where to start.

With the promise of a new season, I decided it was time to brighten things up with a bohemian twist. I figured maybe you were ready for a little refresh as well, so I thought I would share a few easy decorating ideas to incorporate this breezy aesthetic into your home.

1. A Cozy Hammock Chair

I am such a huge fan of using a hippie hammock chair inside the house. To me, there’s this wonderful, relaxed appeal to it, and it creates such a cool seating spot that just brightens the entire space.

I think putting a hammock chair in a living room or even a bedroom is the perfect way to add that calm, bohemian, and chic effect.

2. Vibrant Eclectic Colors

bohemian with eclectic colors — An eclectic color palette really makes the most of a space because of how versatile different hues can be. You should think about using a range of diverse colors that play off one another in a simple way. You might even want to add some patterned items in the colors you’ve chosen.

You might consider using eclectic colors that tend to clash for a brightening effect that feels simple but packs a big punch.

The whole idea is for the colors to become the main focal point of the room without detracting from the beauty of the space itself. It’s a contrasting look that brings a room back to life.

3. Moroccan-Inspired Lamps

morrocan lamps — I adore Moroccan lamps when you want a beautiful contrast of pattern and color that can gleam on your walls. The magic comes from the light holes in many of these lamps that let the light seep out, creating a really enchanting vibe.

Lamps with a Moroccan inspiration play a really big part in bohemian décor. This is because of their colorful look that pairs perfectly with metallic accents.

Those metallic details add a touch of richness that is easy to work with no matter how your room is already decorated.

4. Forget the Sofa

What could be a better way to get a bohemian feel than to skip a traditional sofa and make a fun fort seating area instead?

The fort will be a cool touch that brings in a truly unique vibe. At the same time, forgoing the sofa will make the room feel bigger since there will be more available seating space.

5. A Bench and Printed Pillows

You can bring a chic element to your décor by having a nicely arranged bench with printed pillows. A bench with patterned pillows is a great look because you are using similar colors that are already part of the room.

Doing this creates a strong bohemian feeling that works with the hues you already have.

6. Lots of Texture

bohemian decor twist — You can add texture in so many different ways. Whether you want to use a rug to bring in texture or a daring lamp, it’s up to you. The possibilities are truly endless when you’re going for that relaxed bohemian vibe.

Texture is so important when you want to add a bohemian vibe to your décor, as it’s one of the key parts of the bohemian style.

On top of that, texture creates a “well-loved” feeling, which is an aesthetically pleasing way of decorating. I like to pair it with colorful décor pieces that are Moroccan-inspired.

7. Bring in the Plants

bohemian decor with plants — For a dreamy, almost whimsical look, you can drape plants around your bed. I love that this not only creates a whimsical feeling but also adds a natural touch of beauty and color. The green tones will complement any colors you might already be using.

Adding plants to a busy, textured room might not seem like the best idea at first. But in reality, it is a wonderful idea if you want to bring in that bohemian touch in smaller amounts, without taking away from your existing décor.

8. Wallpaper with Patterns

pattern wallpaper — Wallpaper is available in so many different colors, even neutral ones. The beauty of this is that you can have a room with a bohemian inspiration without using any bold colors or patterns. I think using a neutral palette is a great way to make a room feel larger.

You can transform the look of any kitchen or room by putting up a busy patterned wallpaper in bright shades of blue.

The patterned wallpaper adds beauty with an extra touch of a hippie feel. On top of that, there is the idea that wallpaper has a traditional aesthetic to it that is really quite soothing.

9. Mix and Match Prints

Why limit yourself to just one print when you can use multiple different prints at the same time? The key is to work with patterns that fall within the same color scheme.

Having a similar color palette will make them feel like they belong together. This brings beauty and texture to all the surrounding areas.

10. Soft Hues with Black Pops

soft shades with pops of black — When a lot of people imagine bohemian decor, their first thought is usually bright colors, and while that’s true, soft shades can work beautifully too. This is especially the case when you incorporate pops of black. The black details will bring the decor full circle and really add to its beauty.

Soft colors can brighten up a space because they bring personality and life to it. Meanwhile, when you pair them with pops of black, they come back with a bold vengeance.

You might think about having these hues create the ultimate appeal between them by making a contrast in any room of your home.

11. Classic Earth Tones

bohemian earth tones — You can take your earth tones to the next level by adding patterns and using them on your porch. The porch is a perfect spot to show off a bohemian twist because it’s out in the open and lets you work with your surroundings to create your ideal personal space.

Earth tones are signature bohemian colors. They have a classic, rich aesthetic that works well with many different colors while still maintaining a strong contrast between them.

Try keeping the rustic hues together and adding in vibrant natural colors to get that complete feeling.

A bohemian twist might be exactly what your home needs to come back to life. Which of these ideas would you like to add to your own décor? Please share with us in the comments below.
