A Bohemian Modern Living Room Theme This Summer

Going Bohemian or boho as others call it will turn your living room into an exciting adventure space. The Bohemian design style cropped up in the late 1960s. Bohemian refers to the people from Bohemia in Central Europe, known for their different and unusual culture. It later took on a new meaning and now refers to travelers. The key element of the bohemian design is creative recycling or reuse. Bohemian design developed into different categories, such as boho-modern, eclectic, and crummy chic.

Creating a boho modern living room means building a totally different and personalized ambiance. Mixed colors, artworks, and mixing your own works are the best feature of this style. Use a white bohemian interior for a calmer living room. Go for vivid colors and patterns to achieve a Moroccan bohemian feel. Mix leather, wood, concrete, different fabrics, fur, plants, and other materials to create your modern boho living room. Mid-century modern furniture is a great choice as it mixes well with the boho style.

Setting a Boho-Modern Living Room

• Incorporate mid-century modern furniture

If you cannot find Bohemian furniture, go for mid-century modern furniture. Mid-century modern sofas are elegant and timeless. It features defined lines, modest curves, and a splash of colorful accents. You can also use what you currently have. Shapes and sizes are not necessarily that important in this style compared to other styles of rooms.

You do not need to pick dainty furniture, but choose furniture that will engulf anyone. If you want to have lounges and chaises, choose those in dark carved frames.

• Decorate with colorful pillows

The boho modern style combines vivid colors in a refined way. Have colorful pillows to add colors in your boho-chic living room. White and brown walls will have a cooler, warmer feel with colorful throw pillows. Let the vivid pillows attract attention. Avoid having other vivid elements in the room to prevent clashing of boldness.

• Add a Bohemian rug.

A woolen rug will do if you cannot find a Bohemian rug. Make sure to pick a colorful rug to add beauty and to grab attention quickly. A patterned rug with a blend of bright colors, such as reds, oranges, and yellow is a sure hit. It also blends beautifully with neutral-toned wood furniture.

• Accessorize your boho-chic living room.

Your accessories should speak about you and your family. Photos, paintings, personal collections like miniature wine bottles, vintage bottles, and other mementos from your travels are great accessories to have. Remember, Bohemian refers to travelers so your accessories should include items found all over the globe.

Keep your accessories simple. Do not go for stylish ones. Bohemian is not all about being glamorous but it is unconventional and uncommon. Avoid ornate mirrors or chandeliers.

To make your Bohemian-modern living room spectacular, let every piece of furniture tell a story. Your guests should not be able to identify where you bought the furniture.

Tips to show off the traveler in your modern bohemian living room:

• Have a sleek sectional white leather mid century modern sofa.

• Add a concrete coffee table and end table for that an industrial-rustic feel.

• Give your living room a touch of sophistication with a contemporary TV glass stand with adequate storage.

• Spruce up your boho-chic living room by adding a small bar cart.

By putting these styles together, you create the feeling that you and your family travel a lot. This further exudes style, confidence, and levels up your personal style. So what are you waiting for, get a Bohemia modern living room theme this summer!

Choosing Bedroom Furniture and Personal Tastes

The bedroom is the most important rooms in the house. It is where we take time out of our busy schedule, recharge ourselves, and enjoy our “ME” time. With that said, it is necessary to design your bedroom that suits your own personal style. To establish balance, use your imagination and devote plenty of commitment when choosing bedroom furniture, accessories, and décor.

Infuse Your Personal Taste in the Bedroom

• Pick a Theme.

Choosing a theme is basic in creating a quiet, peaceful bedroom. You can pick a general theme, Spanish Colonial, Victorian, Vintage, and Mid-century, modern or a contemporary theme. Picking the furniture that would suit these styles is easy with the several furniture retailers available on the Web.

 

Always align the style of furniture with your taste when picking a bedroom theme. The Victorian, Spanish Colonial, Vintage themes are ideal for old-fashioned people. These styles are commonly made of expensive wood and feature delicate curves, adorned with luxurious decorations. On the other hand, choose Bauhaus-Echler mid-century styles if you want furniture with minimal ornamentation and a high degree of functionality.

• Know the Exact Size of Your Bedroom

Knowing the size of the room will make things easier when designing your bedroom the way you like it. Work with an interior decorator if you do not trust yourself. Interior decorators can help you put every item properly.

• What Bedroom Furniture to Have

The bed is the essential element in any bedroom. It should not only match your style but should also provide great functionality. Beds can be either very soft, moderately soft, or hard. Again, this factor depends on the user. The degree of the softness depends on the materials used in constructing the bed. Comfort is of utmost importance, as you do not want a squeaky or wobbly bed.

Your choice of bed designs range from a platform bed, a mid-century bed, one with a tall headboard, or a modern bed with built-in nightstands, or open shelves on the headboard, or drawers underneath the mattress frame. Make sure, however, that the presence of shelves and storage will not disturb you so you still get quality sleep.

The bed may be the focal point in any bedroom, but other bedroom furniture pieces are still necessary. These include chest, dresser, vanity, mirror, a bookshelf, and other accessories, such as curtains, painting, vase, and area rug. Depending on your needs, you may want to add a TV stand, a chaise lounge or club chair, or even a desk and chair. Do not forget the lighting. You need a general light, a table lamp on top of the nightstand for reading before going to sleep. Other lighting fixture that you can install in the bedroom includes a sconce or an adjustable floor lamp.

When choosing the other bedroom furniture and accessories, always remember to pick those that work well with your theme. They should blend with the color of your walls and with the bed, of course. You can create a bit of disparity as long as it will not affect the restful ambiance needed for a bedroom.

• Budget

Setting a budget is the next big concern. You can think of the bedroom theme and what furniture you want, but this is all futile if you do not set a budget. Knowing how much you are willing to spend will allow you to buy a mid-century bed and bedroom furniture that does not only fit your style but also suits your budget. Check furniture online stores and compare their prices. See which of these stores offers the style, design, and price that align with your tastes, needs, and budget. Shopping from modern online furniture stores is the best option, as their prices are lower than the shops.

Check out their line of choices, read reviews, then choose. Remember to follow our tips when choosing mid-century bedroom furniture and you surely are on the right track!
