Forget the rules. Clear your mind off what you learned and saw in the magazines or through online and take a breath of fresh air. Bohemian style does not have any restrictions on rules with regards to your design preferences. The concept is experimental, artistic, warm and reinventive. There are no rules to limit the distance and dimension of your imagination and creativity. Also, it does not have a specific period notion -- midcenturies, provincial and the likes. There are no trends and do�s and don�ts. If you want to mix antiques with modern furnitures, go ahead. If you want to dig deeper and truly immerse yourself in the concept, research and read about bohemianism and the inspiring creative individuals that lived and contributed to the style.
Mix prints and live in color. When it comes to patterns, textiles and prints, they�re usually bold and colorful. Mix different prints which of course, should still compliment one another. By doing so, it is a sure way to brighten up a room and give wonderful colors to it. Don�t stick with a specific and generic color scheme, be experimentive. Forget about being neutral and minimalistic instead, take risks with colors and don�t play safe. Paint your walls in color which your mind and heart desires.
Put your art on display. As previously stated, there are no rules and you are free to do whatever you may. Just don�t leave a blank wall remain blank and dull otherwise you are leading to the wrong path. If there�s one thing that would bring a bohemian vibe to a room, it would be art. May it be abstract, minimalistic, photographs, clippings from magazines, illustrations or under whichever category, there�s no excuse not to hang it and display it. Remember, bohemianism is linked to those with artistic characteristics such as musicians, photographers, artists, designers, poets, writers, adventurers and wanderers. Your bedroom is where you can appreciate yourself and your works as well. Even if it�s a private space, forget the traditional notion that artworks should be left in public areas such as your living room. Let yourself reflect and appreciate your own works whenever you�re in your haven.
Display your vintage and antique furnitures. You don�t have to choose vintage and antique furnitures over modern ones just to give emphasis to your boho preferences. Many beautiful and breath-taking pieces of furnitures does not come in pairs or sets so it�s perfectly fine to not match pieces at all. Besides, adding items that outweighs design or price and more valuable makes the room more sentimental. Don�t be afraid to put a modern piece of furniture or item beside your old furniture. An up-to-date structured centerpiece place above an antique cabinet or storage might just be a game-changer in your room.
Be free. The most important tip of all -- be yourself. After all, it is your own private space, isn�t it? Whatever you want to put out there, don�t hesitate and worry on how people would think if ever they see it. It�s your means of expressing yourself, accepting yourself and embracing your whole entity. You see life as beautiful as your colorful and bold as your textiles and you are free as a bird so you go live without limits.
Some people see bohemian style as messy, out of the ordinary and overall confusing with regards to the number of patterns and hues of colors you use and play with. While others, see it as a perfect haven -- a place where they are free to be themselves. Got any more boho styling tips to share with us? Comment down below!
