If you want to add some bohemian spirit to your home but aren’t sure where to start, we have some tips! To achieve this look, you will turn to color, textures, creativity, and originality. Throw perfection out the window and embrace the idea of an eclectic, comfortable, and relaxing environment.
Go Vintage

Instead of opting for contemporary pieces in various shades of neutral, check out local thrift shops, estate sales, and Facebook Marketplace to score vintage furniture. Unique carvings and colorful upholstery is the name of the game, and you don’t need to give “matching” pieces a second thought because the more mismatched, the more free-spirited your home appears.
Add Some Plants
No boho space is complete without a plant – or 12! Not so great with plants? No problem! Fake plants can be the vibe. Up the look by investing in quirky pots in various styles, shapes, and colors. Don’t shy away from adding plants to every room in the house.
Let There Be Funky Lights

Ambient accent lights can make or break a boho space. Think: stained glass, sparkling string lights, and candles. You can buy these fixtures new or secondhand to save big bucks. Plus, secondhand shopping comes with a bonus: imperfections.
Coordination? Couldn’t Be Us
Boho chic is about imperfection, from the furniture and light fixtures to the doorknobs and gallery walls. So don’t waste time trying to coordinate pieces.
The More Texture, the Better

Boho chic is ultimately about creating a warm, inviting space. This is easily achieved by incorporating as many textures as possible through furniture, throw pillows, upholstery, wall hangings, planters, and area rugs. Not only do these pieces create a cozy atmosphere, but they all incorporate more color into your space.
Bookish Vibes
It’s always a great idea to be surrounded by books. Plus, they add color and give you a reason to invest in shelving, which is also ideal for incorporating small trinkets from traveling, photographs, small prints, and plants.
