Modern Boho Design Elements
Modern Boho has a ‘more is more’ attitude that applies to furniture, accessories, colors, patterns, and whatever else you want. There’s a feeling of lush abundance in a Boho space thanks to the strategic layering of textures and personal touches. Start by adding your core, larger furniture pieces. Then add in the smaller elements like books, pillows, throws, rugs, artwork, and plants.
Bringing in a mix of natural materials like jute, cane, natural wood, and leather, as well as chunky knits and upholstery helps give a room a layered and collected look.
The color scheme for Boho style is very broad. However, Boho spaces tend to have more unexpected and bold palettes, and they’re often deeply saturated.
Natural, basic materials like burlap and sisal can be combined with silk and chenille. The materials should have a slightly worn look—not damaged, but not shiny and new either. Fringe, crochet, and macramé abound—pillows, curtains, and throw-rugs combine to make a cozy, globally inspired hangout.
Ambient, understated lighting will unify your Boho design room and complete the calm and welcoming feel. Rather than overhead fixtures, decorate with multiple lanterns, candles, and floor and table lamps. Today’s global design markets make it easy to find a variety of shapes and styles—perfect for the mix-and-match look.
Finally, you need to bring in lots of plants, preferably live ones. Boho plants are slightly unruly, never perfect looking, and are very fresh.
