Boho decor ideas: 12 ideas that will inspire you to try this free spirited trend

<p> Trends that have longevity like boho style do naturally evolve, and this stunning living room by Lindye Galloway shows you how to make it work.  </p> <p> Furniture is sleeker and more refined with a nod to Scandi living room style, but you can still see the core elements – tasseled woven pillows and fringed throws for example. The wall decor follows those decorative lines and adds a further aspect, but the overall look is clean and modern.  </p>

<p> One of our favorite boho decor ideas is to use rattan to its fullest! Pendant lights (complete with wispy bits), a circular mirror and not forgetting these curvy side tables. You could even source picture frames and vases (for dried flowers) that can sit on your nightstands.  </p> <p> Second to that layer, and then layer again in your chic boho bedroom. This look is about textures and mixing them together, and have at least two blankets on your bed – complete with tassels. </p>

<p> A boho style that's making a comeback is the Bloomsbury look, and it's worth checking out if you prefer a richer color palette that's got more of a painterly feel.  </p> <p> Formed in 1905, by artist Vanessa Bell and her sister Virginia Woolf, the Bloomsbury set was a group of bohemian artists who lived and worked in Bloomsbury, London.  </p> <p> Their style was very decorative and full of color, and walls were hand-painted as was furniture – including doors and cabinetry. If the current boho look is a little bland for you then consider this one, it's full of charm with more extensive wall color combos.  </p>

<p> If you love a bit of crafting this boho decor idea is for you! Macramé is one of the main aspects of this charming look so pop to your local craft store and invest in some boho-colored yarn and learn how to macrame your own masterpieces with our easy peasy how-to.  </p> <p> Large or small, macramé wall hangings look great and they can be as simple or as complex as you like. Plant hangers are another option as are tealight holders.  </p>

<p> Wallpaper is a good boho home decor idea, make sure you pick a design that suits the color palette like the Ditto Glimmer design from MissPrint. It blends well with the tone of the rattan chair and wood floor, it's these simple details that make schemes work. </p>

<p> If you want to dip your toes into this trend without breaking the bank, one way to do this is to add key deco home decor like a patterned rug. Choose a design that's got a fluffy pile with fringing that's soft underfoot.  </p> <p> A subtle pattern like the rug above will give you a great starting point. For similar try Carpetright's Amouage cream rug or Wayfair’s Nola Geometric area rug in beige.  </p>

<p> Display all of your boho-style ornaments on a shelving unit like these folding cane shelves from Dunelm. It has three foldable tiers and is made from 100% natural rattan. It's a versatile piece that will work in a bedroom too and looks great with the boho colors.  </p>

<p> Texture is perhaps one of the most important aspects to consider when you're styling your boho decor ideas.  </p> <p> Think velvet, rattan (of course), but also clear glass, artisan ceramics and woven or embroidered pillows. Natural materials work best, and don't forget wood too.  </p>

<p> 'Boho style is defined by feeling relaxed and not tailored,' says Jessica Davis, founder and principal designer of JL Design. </p> <p> 'The colors should vary and harmonize, there should be mixes of textures and fabrics and everything should exude a somewhat “loose” feeling.' </p> <p> This also counts in a nursery, so apply the same elements in each room even down to the wallpaper choice – a simple yet very effective graphic design that will look great even if you change your color scheme as your baby gets older.  </p>

<p> By choosing a harmonious color scheme you'll make life easier for yourself when you want to introduce different prints and patterns. Warming tones of stone, plaster, ochre and tan work together even if they are different prints – like the drapes and wallpaper here. It's a very versatile color palette and it looks great with blush pink and black.  </p>

<p> Choosing the right accessories will finish off your boho decor perfectly. Source beautiful artisanal bowls and plates for your table, and consider your furniture choices.  </p> <p> This eye-catching bench and table with its herringbone design creates the perfect boho look, add in some colored glass tumblers and a rattan pendant and you're ready for your guests.  </p>

<p> Oodles of texture with ruffly cushions, painted wicker seats, and baskets full of plants are all ideal elements for a boho chic balcony – or backyard. And it's definitely worth investing in an indoor/outdoor rug or two and layering them up. Add in a coffee table with a metal frame for a more spacious feel.   </p>
