29 Bohemian interior decorating ideas

Boho pads are idiosyncratic, cosy and uninhibited. It is all about comfort and familiarity, add deep squishy sofas and armchairs, sparkles in the form of chandeliers, warm hues and handmade items like crochet, macramé.

The term “Bohemian” is applied to people who live unconventional, usually artistic, lives. Bohemian interior design is reflective of this with colorful, whimsical, carefree spaces that contain no rules and no bare spots, but instead explosions of color clashing objects, figurines, art, nik naks, fabrics and furnishings all coming together in a fun, warm and inviting manner.

To create the laid back bohemain interior design style; self-expression and a willingness to experiment is more important than a knowledge of design.

Boho interiors are never dull – but are able to conjure magic from the mundane! they are lively, eclectic, intensely decorative and exuberant.
