Boho decor is back in style. Here are the home pieces you need to get on-trend

Are you looking for a way to decorate your living space that will give it character that’s as unique as it is timeless? You might want to consider a bohemian-style makeover. Also referred to simply as boho, this eclectic interior design was introduced in Paris, France in the 19th century and became popular in the U.S. in the 1960s. 

Today a fresh, contemporary take on the classic boho style is on-trend. From artwork to furniture to accent pieces, there are numerous home decor items available that will add a touch of Bohemian appeal to your place.

What is boho?

A person who pursues a unique or unconventional life is often referred to as bohemian. Boho home design can be described similarly, as the intriguing pieces used to create this decorative style stand out from traditional decor. 

Just about any item can sport a boho style. Some of the most popular home pieces include furniture, wall art, area rugs, tapestries, bedding, curtains and accent pieces like pillows, throws and baskets. 

Characteristic of boho style 

Eclectic is one the first words that come to mind when describing items that fit into the boho aesthetic. They typically lack specific structure or color schemes and have artistic or creative appeal. However, they do include a few common elements:

• Mixed textures, bold hues and ornate patterns are some of the hallmarks of bohemian-inspired pieces. Boho is as worldly as it is timeless, as it’s inspired by several cultures and can be vintage or contemporary. 
• Elements of nature are also popular in the boho home style. When creating a bohemian feel in a home, many decorators include plants. 
• Natural materials like wood, rattan, textiles and metal are used to make boho home accessories, including shelves, rugs, furniture and accent pieces. Macrame accents in particular are popular.
• Animals, flowers, plants and people are often the subjects of colorful bohemian art. 

When it comes to home decorating, boho style is versatile, too. Whether you are planning to update an entire room or simply add a few accent pieces, there are boho items available for any room.
