There are so many exciting ways to transform the look of your home. If you’re not great with figuring out how to execute a flawless home decor project, it’s okay to break everything down into foundational elements. Once you consider the following five elements, you can create the bohemian chic look of your dreams.

Add Pops of Color

One of the most universal ways to approach home decor involves a neutral palette. Purchase couches and other large pieces of furniture in neutral tones like cream, eggshell and taupe. Then, you can always add pops of color. When you look at a lot of bohemian chic decor, it’s very colorful. However, there’s a specific family of colors you’ll want to stay in. Infuse pops of color that are found in the jewel tone family. Colors like emerald green, ruby red and magenta are perfect options to consider.

Hang Artwork

When you’re in the middle of a decor project, don’t forget about the walls. Artwork is always fun to incorporate in any space. You can opt to purchase canvas art to hang directly to the wall. However, another option involves purchasing stunning frames. To make things look more eclectic, you can consider ornate gold frames for your photos. Artwork doesn’t just come in the form of a beautiful painting. You can also try wall hangings. Whether you hang a beautiful scarf across the wall or a macrame wall hanging, you’ll be able to achieve the stunning look involved with bohemian chic style.

Visit Local Artisan Markets

Find the artisan markets in your area. You’ll be able to find tons of fun trinkets and accessories to include in your decor. Purchase a wicker basket that you can pile all of the living room blankets in. A unique lampshade in a bright color is a great piece to look for at an artisan market as well. If you find tassels, gold jewelry and beads, pick them up. They’re useful for bohemian chic decor.

Mix Prints

Many people are afraid of mixing prints because they don’t want to create visual tension. The key is to make sure the colors and patterns are complementary. If you’ve found stunning pillows with paisley prints, they’ll go well with an area rug with a floral print. Just make sure that the colors on both items are complementary.

Use Natural Textures

If you have wooden floors, let them shine as a beautiful element in the room. Wooden blinds, bamboo rugs and lots of indoor plants provide a natural flair to any room. You can also incorporate some of the beautiful accessories from Drew Barrymore’s Flower line at Walmart to merge the natural elements with chic sophistication.

If you are stuck with a beigey 90’s carpet then it’s time for an upgrade. You can go with a green approach and get
second hand flooring. Not only is this an environmental approach, but wooden floors look great with this style. You can still add a large woven rug in your favorite colors, but this will be easier to clean and much more modern.


There are plenty of people who become overwhelmed and intimidated by the idea of executing their own home decor project. Thankfully, it’s very difficult to go wrong when you commit to a bohemian chic theme. Take your time with the decorating process. It’ll come together in time.
