Have you ever heard about the Bohemian style? This already classic style was born in the 1960s with the hippies. It is very eclectic, artistic, and relaxed. The “Boho” can be very exuberant for some people. However, Boho Chic is the new, more sophisticated alternative to Boho. It is about mixing the free spirit with the cosmopolitan.
If you want to rent furniture for your second or main house and want a new, bolder but relaxed style, maybe Boho Chic is for you. To ensure that your spaces have a Boho Chic vibe you must first forget about the interior design rules and follow some simple instructions.
Mixing styles
It is said that variety is the spice of life, this is especially true with Boho Chic. It is about mixing all kinds of styles, especially ethnic, oriental, and vintage from the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s. The idea is to combine natural elements with as many textures, colors, and patterns as possible. Combine color with a more bohemian, multicultural style of decorations
A Boho Chic space must be filled with vibrant colors and combine all kinds of objects, patterns, and furniture from different styles and places from all around the world. This style is not minimalistic at all, the idea is to fill all the spaces and mix material like burlap and rattan with chenille and silk. However, so the room does not look overloaded and chaotic, it is important to paint your walls with a neutral color.
Rugs and floor cushions are a must
Rugs around the house are a must in this style. They should be colorful and mix different styles and patterns. The idea is to be able to walk around barefoot and sit on the floor, adding to that casual and carefree style. Floor cushions and poufs cannot be missed, they are incredibly comfortable and give the space a more chill and relaxed vibe.
You can also layer throws on top of furniture and put many throw pillows. Put them on chairs, sofas, or day beds, the more the better. You can use cushions with bright colors, tribal or floral prints, and geometrical patterns. This mix always adds to that eclectic and international energy.
Use vintage with rustic finishes furniture
Boho Chic’s main influence is the hippie culture of the 1960s and ‘70s. Therefore, natural materials like rattan, wood, sisal, hemp, burlap, and leather are the norm. Vintage pieces are also highly appreciated, the more worn and aged they look the better. If they look exotic or bought in a flea market or a rummage sale it is even better.
This style evokes an artistic, wandering, and traveling lifestyle. So anything that looks or is foreign should be displayed. You can mix a Buddha statue with Indian tribal prints, Egyptian lamps with Chinese vases. Souvenirs, lamps, rugs, decorations everything is valid. You can rent any type of furniture you need and transform your spaces in the Boho Chic dream, the sky’s the limit.
