The biggest key to decorating with bohemian flair is to mix and match patterns. Give yourself a lot of time to think about what you like. Do you like stripes, colorful patterns, worldly looks, lots of vintages pieces? Whatever you decide on, decide on more than one! The best way to bring in that cool, unique vibe is to mix things up a bit.

Bold colors are another key feature of bohemian decor. Don’t be scared to use colors like cranberry reds and peacocks blues together with softer tones like blush pinks and mint greens. Set off the dramatic tones with subtle neutrals that still has spark and a pinch of color to them unlike the normal whites, off whites and creams. Use a sandy brown or the palest lavender as your foundation to compliment emerald greens and sunshine-y yellows.

Cluster photos on a playful space on the wall, gather up unique nick-nacks and line them up on the windowsill, use feathers and branches in a vase to add some outside inspiration. Be different, creative and out-of-the-box. Gold candelabras filled with colorful candles, scarves as table runners and a small bamboo plant hidden in the kitchen. Use everything and anything you love to decorate your home!
