Boho Decor Guide: How to make your dream Boho Aesthetic Room come true?

What is Boho Aesthetic?

The boho aesthetic has its roots in the Bohemian movement of the 19th century, which celebrated creativity, individuality, and a rejection of mainstream society. However, the modern interpretation of the boho style really began to gain popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, during the countercultural movement. The boho style was embraced by hippies and artists, who were drawn to its relaxed and unconventional look.

The style then experienced a resurgence in the early 2000s, with the rise of boho-chic fashion and the popularity of boho-inspired music festivals like Coachella. Today, the boho aesthetic is a trend that can be seen in everything from fashion to home decor. In this article, we're going to share with you some tips, inspiration and ideas on how to decorate a boho aesthetic room.

How to Create Boho Aesthetic Room? 

As always we will start with defining color palette and understanging the main vibe of boho aesthetic and surf all the way to wall decor, bedding and room accents. This guide in combination with our main "How to Make Your Room Aesthetic Guide" will make your boho room transformation fun and easy.

1. Boho Color Palette

The color palette for boho aesthetic is typically warm and calming, with a mix of bold, bright hues as accents and earthy, muted tones as main theme. This color scheme wasn't formed randomly. Its nomadic philosophy assumed a life in harmony with nature, gathering food and goods including home decorations. That is why boho decor is focused on using natural materials like wood, cotton, linen, gold and silver metallic accents, incorporating plants and DIY decor. Mixing and combining it all in different patterns, colors and textures it manifests its free-spirited vibe.

2. What to Begin With

Boho aesthetic is an eclectic mix of patterns, colors, and textures that draws inspiration from various cultures and eras. In most boho bedrooms you can stumble upon on Pinterest, vintage elements like carved ceiling plinths, retro chandeliers, vintage mirrors and other old-fashioned elements from a variety of eras ranging from the Baroque to the late eighties can be combined with modern accents.

Tropical, floral an paisley patterns also work well as wallpapers for boho rooms, but be mindful of balancing out busy patterns with simpler, solid-colored pieces.

Summing up:

• Use warm hues of white paint to cover the walls and ceiling
• For accent wall consider brown, ochre, crimson or sage shades or use wallpaper with floral/tropical patterns
• Try to use natural materials for floor covering or stick with earthy tones and wooden textures
• Don't hesitate to mix vintage elements with modern style

As for artificial lighting, popular option for boho is string lights, which can be draped around the room or hung from the ceiling to create a cozy and inviting ambiance. The ones with black wire and round bulbs with warm white light are the best choice. Avoid harsh overhead lighting and use more ambient options like rattan table lamps and lamp shades, floor lamps and fairy lights. You can also add a dimmer switch to your main light source so that you will have another option to achieve relaxed, dreamy atmosphere in your room.

Summing Up

Don't be hesitant to mix and match patterns, textures, and colors that appeal to you since one of the best things about boho style is that it encourages individuality and imperfection. You may add distinctive touches by combining one-of-a-kind vintage or handcrafted objects, like a colorful rug from a local market or a macrame wall hanging you made yourself.
