Boho Living Room Ideas to Give Any Space Some Down to Earth Style

If you can’t bare to look at another minimalist white wall or rustic farmhouse coffee table, it might be time to move away from the world of clean lines and quiet palettes to a style that feels a little more layered and loose. Even if you’ve never considered creating a bohemian living room, it’s easy to be enticed by the creative freedom and unique opportunities that come when decorating in this style.

 

That said, even bohemian rooms can start looking similar to one another. Once you’ve seen one, they sometimes can start looking the same, which is why it’s important to add some unique furniture and decorative features that truly make it your own. This compilation of boho living rooms will give you plenty of ideas to help you shape a room that fits your personality, while still adhering to this fun free-spirited style.

1. Boho with black paint

The patterns, textures, and layers in this Ohio duplex make for a beautifully boho room, but the addition of the black paint gives it a modern edge and a unique defining factor. Try adding wall paint in a saturated color to your living room to make your space feel like a fresh take on the bohemian look.

 

2. Mix and match magic

The boho look is not always about macramé and a full-blown indoor garden—it can be interpreted in a variety of different ways. The baskets, colors, and caramel leather couch in this stylish London studio still give off a boho vibe despite it being a bit different from the version of bohemian you’re always seeing on Instagram.

 

3. Blend funky textures

Bright colors, mismatched textures, and worldly touches make this Kentucky house a perfect example of bohemian. By adding personal accents—souvenirs, cool vintage finds, old figurines—you’ll get an eclectic mix of decorative accents and materials that help make a place uniquely yours.

 

4. Plenty of rattan

The boho aesthetic pretty much always features natural fibers like jute, bamboo, and rattan, and you can’t beat the larger-than-life mirrors wrapped in this material in this stunning Brooklyn apartment. Whether it’s in the form of chairs, frames, baskets, or mirrors, natural fibers are a must-have in a boho living room.

 

5. Utilize multiple bright colors

A candy colored palette, as seen in a West Sussex apartment, can make the boho look feel much more fun and light-hearted. Create any combination of colors you like and complement them with other accents throughout the room. This is one style where the word “clashing” just doesn’t exist.
