So what’s on your mind?

Making just a few additions with boho touches or completely transforming your home space?

Well, I have some ideas to help you get that aesthetic look for your personal space. 

Bohemian style or the boho, whatever you call that look is known for the relaxed, artistic, and eclectic vibe. 

It is actually a combination of different patterns, colors, and textures. 

These create a space that feels much unique and personal.

How beautiful a bed looks when it is covered with various throws, blankets, and pillows, each with different patterns and textures?

And, of course, mix fabrics like cotton, wool, and silk in bright colors and global patterns create a cozy, lived-in feel.

Although boho style is known for its boldness, starting with a natural and neutral base helps balance the look. 

Use a neutral color palette for your walls and larger furniture pieces, then add colorful textiles and decor.

This keeps your space cohesive and not too overwhelming.

Bohemian Color Palette

What’s the first color that comes to your mind when you think about a Boho-style home?

Well, I have a few, let’s check them out. 

Evening Blush

The color is lovely, and of course a touch of pink color adds a touch of sweetness to any room.

Pair it with soft or dark greens and rich materials like velvet for an eclectic look.

Warm Colors

Paint your walls with this warm white color with ivory undertones for a cozy and welcoming feel.

It pairs well with other warm colors or olive greens.

Bean Counter

The color looks elegant and the muted mint green looks stunning next to any warm colors.

Add a pink accent by pairing it with Carmen for a pop of color.

Xena

You can consider using a warm, yellow-based green generously on walls and even ceilings to create a rich, calming atmosphere.

Hay Wain

This vibrant golden color feels fresh and inviting, especially in small amounts.

It goes perfectly with the soft pinks and beautiful greens in the Journey palette.
