The modern version of the so called boho-chic style is eclectic , and gives all its weight to ethnic and vintage choices of the '50s, '60s and '70s.
It's basic principles are the carefree , the unusual, the relaxed, the colored...and although the spaces of the house have many similarities..there are never two completely similar.The exuberance of the style emerges through the textures and is the opposite of the modern, the minimal and the elegant. The harmonious mix & match is the key to our choices. We combine free patterns and textures and dare to choose styles that would not be combined in a conventional way. In short, you do not need to make big changes to achieve this. Just pay attention to some details that have the power to turn even the most boring living room into a special space that will not go unnoticed.
Carpets play a central role in this boho transformation.
The good news is that there is a lot of freedom in the type and combination of colors. There is a general rule to choose warm colors, which refer to nature. Exaggeration and intense mixing is a shocking feature! So you can have more rugs with different patterns. You can cover the whole floor with a variety of carpets, such as having a large carpet and many smaller ones around the perimeter and they can even be in different designs!
Dare to hang them on the wall!
It's time to choose to do something different to give your own identity to the space. Whether in the living room or in another room of the house, find your favorite design and hang it on the wall, either with a curtain rod or even with nails.
You will see in an instant how beautifully your wall will be transformed!
Remember that every place must tell a story. Your own story!
Bonus tip:
Because boho plays a lot with the element of impression, it is good to choose an impressive rug with vivid colors and patterns, to place it in the center of the space as a statement piece. You can frame this with more neutral rugs that will highlight it.
