In today\u2019s quick guide, we’ll show you how to get started with boho-chic design and upholstery. We’ll give you some tips on choosing the right fabrics and upholstery styles and ideas for incorporating other boho elements into your d\u00e9cor. So whether you’re looking to create a full-blown boho haven or just add a touch of hippie chic, read on for some inspiration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What sets boho-chic apart from other design styles is the freestyle approach. Boho designs often showcase a veritable potpourri of elements, such as vintage finds, handmade items, and textiles in an array of textures and bold colors. Geometric patterns\/shapes, tribal prints, and folk art are also at home in boho d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Sidenote:<\/strong> Words like \u201cand\u201d<\/em> and \u201cas well as\u201d<\/em> come up a lot when talking about this design. More is more. Just be sure to match\u2026 Nah, just kidding!<\/em> This is boho, hippie chic design, there are no rules! Playful and bold rule the day.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Originally, hippie and boho design was rich with energy and steeped in life. Its unabashed and unapologetic use of colors and textures wasn’t for the sake of bringing in different colors and textures. It was an extension of letting yourself bring in objects and feelings that you love being around, that bring you joy (hmm\u2026 Marie Kondo<\/a>, anyone?).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contemporary boho takes the best of the original style vibe and makes it intentional. The result is a space full of things that make you feel more like yourself, but avoid the cluttered yard sale vibe that could sometimes overwhelm boho.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n And<\/em><\/strong>, poetically enough, you get there by embracing eclectic details<\/a>. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different styles and textures, combining traditional and modern furniture pieces, or pair rustic accessories with sleek finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bottom line is you have to let your proverbial freak flag fly and free yourself to mix and match different styles and elements to create a look that’s uniquely you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, let\u2019s boho-style your upholstery. Think about colors and fabrics you\u2019d want to<\/em> use \u2014 \u201cwant to\u201d<\/em><\/strong> is the key. Boho\u2019s embrace of artsy offers an opportunity to play with textures and colors to create spaces that intrigue, excite, and<\/em> offer warmth and calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clearly,<\/em><\/strong> there are loads and loads of options<\/a>, which is awesome \u2014 and overwhelming.<\/em> Skip the overwhelm and leap into the high-end, elevated boho we seek by picking a theme. Here are a few of our favorites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Combine the charm of vintage and antique elements with modern updates. Keep your furniture uncomplicated, perhaps in a simple charcoal gray<\/a> tweed fabric. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But bring in a vintage tufted sofa, richly resplendent in a deep hunter-green velvet<\/a>. Or take your sofa in a playful but plain natural cotton<\/a> color Crypton performance fabric (old school, meet new schoo<\/em>l). And let your armchairs slip into a merlot paisley<\/a> fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lean on the saturated primary colors of folk art\u2019s palette to give your upholstery that funky, folky flair. Take a piece(s) radiantly royal blue<\/a> in a performance microsuede. Try a contemporary take on folk art with a\u00a0wine<\/a>\u00a0novelty patterned fabric on your furniture. Set the stage for your wall art with earthy tones like oyster tweed for your furniture. Or dial up the color volume with bodaciously bohemian orange jacquard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tribal upholstery is based on the patterns and designs found in indigenous cultures. Set your sofa on the path to a welcoming, patinaed future with chestnut-toned genuine leather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Give your favorite reading chair a tribal boho look in a lilac purple alligator print fade-resistant velvet. And how about brocade curtains with a black and white chevron pattern, bringing geometric patterns and a nod to earth tones, too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n You know when your radio is too loud, when there are too many people talking at once in a room, and when you walk into a space that feels cluttered and visually noisy? And you know when it’s just right, and your eye delights and revels<\/a> in the things that are there. You know.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s all you need to know to finish your boho design correctly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s time to start incorporating other boho elements into your lit d\u00e9cor. Again, there are endless boho-style decor possibilities. Let\u2019s review a few ideas to get you started and further tamp down the overwhelm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, think about adding some natural elements. This could be anything<\/a> from plants to reclaimed wood furniture. Enough that the space steps back from synthetic and manufactured into natural, soulful, and alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Second, consider adding some bold accessories. Think colorful rugs, art\/tapestries, and pillows. Think throw pillows with texture and color, perhaps embroidered fabrics like Agate<\/a> \u2014 with a contemporary pattern<\/em> \u2014 or <\/a>Jade<\/a>\u2014 alive with green and blue vines and leaves<\/em> \u2014 or both! It is the same with whatever rugs, art, or curiosities catch your eye and inspire you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, again, curtains can add to the magic with a pop of color to add to the feeling of an Oasis<\/a>. Or a wispy whimsy with sheer fabric for drapes that take you to the Clouds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And lastly, lighting. Boho spaces offer a warm and inviting atmosphere. So add some candles, lamps, or fairy lights for a touch of magic. Okay, not actual fairy lights, but lights that twinkle and spark that inner childlike wonder and joy<\/a>. Again, think of warmth and welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our absolute favorite thing about boho design is there are no rules.<\/em><\/strong> There\u2019s nothing for you to learn before you begin. Except, perhaps, setting aside your grownup brain for a few beats and listening to what brings you joy, inspires creativity, and just makes you smile and want to sit awhile<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re the world\u2019s leading expert on all those things. So go ahead and unleash your inner boho hippie chic interior designer. Remember, the high-end bit is mostly about keeping the clutter down, not letting it get overly \u201cnoisy.\u201d But you\u2019re the leading expert on the right volume for you, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you start feeling your way into what your boho groove is, we love helping you<\/a> get the right and perfect upholstery for your furniture, drapes, pillows, and more.
