The Bohemian aesthetic has definitely seen a major revival in recent times. It\u2019s eclectic, energizing, and oh so easy on the eyes. It\u2019s an Instagram-ready style that\u2019s also comfortable for day-to-day living. So, if you\u2019re looking to integrate Bohemian vibes in your rental apartment<\/a>, check out these tips to learn how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

Boho Basics<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start with a quick definition of this style. A Bohemian space should have an organic feel, so warm and nature-inspired materials are where it\u2019s at: think medium wood tones, natural fabrics (rattan, cotton, linen, wicker, leather), and for metals, go for gold and brass. But this aesthetic is more than a calming dose of nature.<\/p>\n

\"bohemian_interior\"<\/p>\n

Boho style is also defined by high contrast, playful pops of color, and a feeling that is best described as \u201coverstuffed.\u201d Imagine it as the room of a world traveler who needs a comfortable place to rest between journeys and somewhere to keep the treasures they\u2019ve collected along the way. Does it sound like a vibe you want in your apartment?<\/p>\n

Comfort Is Key<\/h2>\n

One of the best things about the Bohemian vibe is that it\u2019s actually comfortable. When you\u2019re designing a space in this style, you\u2019re investing in quality R&R. It all starts with an abundance of pillows on your bed and sofas. Go for fuzzy, extra-soft ones. In other words, pillows you\u2019ll really want to use when you\u2019re kicking back.<\/p>\n

\"colorful<\/p>\n

Another central feature is a thick, high pile rug. You may need to vacuum it, as it \u201csheds\u201d more than average, but it adds plushness to the room, which is a must. Once you\u2019ve got some soft surfaces to lounge on, you can move on to the aesthetics of the space.<\/p>\n

Layer Your Look<\/h2>\n

Many interior design styles<\/a> use a \u201cless is more\u201d mentality, but not Bohemian. You can really have fun with contrasting elements to add a feeling of fullness to the space. One important technique is stacking different textiles and textures. Use those warm, earthy tones we talked about earlier to create a neutral base, then pile expressive colors and patterns on top of that. This balance of simple and complex elements will make sure that the room\u2019s design doesn\u2019t get too loud.<\/p>\n

\"vertical<\/p>\n

However, layering doesn\u2019t stop here. There are tons of design tactics that will help give your space that chock-full Bohemian feel. If you have art pieces of different styles and sizes, hang them in a dense formation to create a gallery wall. Make sure to use the vertical space in your apartment<\/a> so you\u2019re maximizing the impact of the design. And don\u2019t be afraid to stock your shelves and other decorative areas with all kinds of goodies. Mix up the type and style of items in each place to avoid creating a cluttered look.<\/p>\n

Getting Funky<\/h2>\n

Now you\u2019ve got neutral organic tones with some color and contrast layered on top. It\u2019s time to add some pizzazz! The biggest impact will come from a few key statement pieces. No Boho room is complete without some global inspiration, so look for art, furniture, or decorations that pull from all the corners of the world. Similarly, vintage and secondhand items add an important contrast to your more contemporary d\u00e9cor. Adding a focal point with a big unique piece\u2014such as a particularly fun lamp or chandelier\u2014is also a great idea.<\/p>\n

\"bohemian<\/p>\n

There are no rules here, so add that funky flair however it feels right to you. For things that normally come in a set, consider mismatching them: dining chairs, plates\/china, light bulbs, etc. If you\u2019ve got a green thumb, add a wild twist with plant life. Find a cool rug and put it on the wall as a tapestry. You get the idea: if it\u2019s unexpected or unusual, it\u2019s probably Bohemian. Decide what speaks to you and go all out.<\/p>\n

Have Fun with It!<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s the recipe for creating major Bohemian vibes in your rental apartment. The key is to apply it in a way that\u2019s personal and meaningful for you. This style is free-wheeling and creative, so let your inner designer out and have a good time. That said, remember that you can always bring in an interior design expert<\/a>,<\/u> whether you need some quick advice or a full-on apartment makeover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
