Boho chic living room idea: opt for a bright and neutral colour scheme

Rattan? Check. Dried flowers? Double-check. But what we like the most about @43metroscuadrados boho chic living room is their bright and airy neutral colour palette. Keep your paints muted, with whites and beiges and you can add flourishes of colour with a splash of green or nature-inspired palettes.

Boho chic living room idea: hang macrame, baskets, or wall tapestries

Macramé and boho chic decor are a match made in boho heaven. This look is all about texture and by hanging macramé or wall tapestries, rather than art or photos it adds a 3D effect and softness to your walls. Whether it’s a handmade wall tapestry behind your sofa or macramé hanging baskets (with trailing plants, naturally), this decor idea can’t help but inject that boho chic look into your living room.

Boho chic living room idea: invest in a Moroccan pouf

Just @sailorandscout over here showing us how to create a boho chic living room that’s totally, well, chic. The fireplace, lighting, and sofa are very grown-up, whilst a free form coffee table, oversized rug, and Moroccan pouf add that boho style, layering on the texture. Not only do Moroccan poufs look gorgeous, they also provide versatile seating or, with a tray placed on top, can be used as an extra table. We’re big fans.

Boho chic living room idea: go wild with dried flowers and plants

Be it towering pampas grass, palm fronds, trailing indoor plants, or colourful dried bouquets—boho chic decor is all about foliage. Using plants in your interiors, be they dried or potted, connects you with nature and brings the outdoors in. It’s soothing on the eyes and makes your surroundings feel more homely and lived in. Plus there’s something very boho about the idea of making your own dried flower wreath, no?

Boho chic living room idea: incorporate natural woods

Whilst we’re bringing the outdoors in, we should probably incorporate some natural woods into our boho chic living room. Whether it’s hardwood floors with an oversized, thick pile rug, a rattan sideboard or wicker furniture—natural wood furnishings will fit right in. And remember to have fun! If you’ve got space, look out for a rattan hanging egg chair or vintage peacock throne to give your living room that wow factor.

Boho chic living room idea: add textured throws, rugs and cushions

And of course, rule number one of boho decor is texture, texture, texture! Especially if you’re working with a neutral colour palette. You can do this through textured rugs, throws, and cushions. Just like we mentioned with wall hangings, choose items that create a 3D effect.

Imagine cushions with tassels or pom-poms you can play with, a sheepskin rug you can’t help but run your fingers through, or a tactile throw you want to snuggle up in the moment you get home. You’re painting with texture, rather than colour, so make it as visually interesting as you can.
