The Look for Less: How to Decorate a Bohemian Chic Home

The Bohemian Chic look is a distinct style where you combine eclectic pieces of furniture with different colors and patterns, forming a cohesive, rich, look for your space. Stemming from various bohemian and hippie influences, the Boho-chic look is prominent among stylish females. It is easy to get the Boho-Chic look, here is our recipe:


1 part NATURAL (fur, animal hide, horn, hood)
1 part SHINY METAL (chrome, brass, gold, mirrored)
1 part FRENCH/ORNATE (chair, mirror, chandelier, etc.)
1 part MOROCCAN/ETHNIC (textiles, a table, a rug, a lantern, etc.)


+ 1 STAND-OUT LIGHTING FIXTURE (of one of the above)
+ LOOSE/CASUAL LAYERING OF ACCESSORIES (pillows, art, etc.)


= "BOHO CHIC"

To get this look, you can combine bold colors, patterns, and textures with flea market finds and some modern accents.
