The past few years saw the revival of the hippie Bohemian subculture in the decor industry. Bohemian decor, with its relaxed and comforting aura, is unique in that it can work in the homes of people of all ages and of differing personal aesthetics. This decor style brings with it hints of a life well-travelled, and a quirkiness that appeals to a contemporary lifestyle. The Bohemian design code is all about bold, shiny colors, metallic surfaces, mixed prints and an effortless, elegantly shabby-chic look. Be it through small home accents or via textiles, this delightful decor trend can be introduced into your home in simple and inexpensive ways. Keep it low

Choose low seating arrangements instead of space-consuming sofa sets. Bring in some colorful mattresses and floor cushions and enjoy your own lounging area. Low seating creates a cosy atmosphere enabling you to relax almost instantly. Add ottomans, low-slung sofas and poufs with a mixed array of cushions. These work beautifully in small spaces.

Natural Light and Varied Materials

Keep the backdrop of the room light and reflective. This will allow natural light to bounce off the walls and in turn, create an airy and comfortable aura within the room. To go truly bohemian however, experiment with some color - using pastel shades will still keep the trend alive, while providing your space with a neutral enough backdrop and creating a sense of space. Accessorising with items of varied materials will help achieve a warm ambience. Wooden furniture with glassware, metallic lamps (bronze and copper are extremely on-trend right now) and bright, embroidered ottomans are some ways to achieve this. Don't be afraid to mix patterns for an eccentric look: Ikat with tie-dye, and traditional prints with florals creates unique and unusual looks for the urban home.

Make The Look Pop

The bohemian look celebrates both geometric patterns and floral designs. Combine a variety of patterned elements in bright colors to make the room pop. Shades of pinks, reds and turquoise bring in energy and excitement. Mix solids with traditional and ethnic patterns, and embroidery with digital prints. Add beaded accessories and bamboo window treatments to complete the look. Beaded curtains at a room’s entrance or shelled frames are an excellent decor option as well.

Bring in the greens

Adding plants to your room generates positive energy, creates a relaxing environment and keeps the room looking fresh and alive. Big potted plants in the corners, or succulents as centerpieces in glassware, create a modern, bohemian look.

Add Extraordinary Lighting

Bohemian decor without a string of lights seems incomplete. Fairy lights add a soft golden glow to the room, and are subtle and calming. If you aren't a fan of fairy lights, consider lanterns in different shapes and colors for an instant touch of boho-luxe.
