Bohemian inspired bedroom decor can be gorgeous, comforting and creative; however it’s more complicate­d than just throwing up a mash of colors, patterns and dream catchers. With a cohesive plan, bohemian decor can transform a bedroom into a unique oasis.

Tis edition, we’ll be showing you how to create the type of timeless bohemian decor that will turn your bedroom into the creative and cozy hideaway you have always desired.

• Colour is a vital aspect of creating your bohemian haven. It’s important to choose a cohesive colour scheme to avoid a rainbow effect. Though you can easily do an all-white room, you can also pick a neutral colour plus an accent colour and several different shades of it to work with. • For a bohemian bedroom you’ll want to create a luxurious yet casual and comfortabl­e atmosphere, and this is done best by layering different fabrics throughout your space. Start with your bed; choose your duvet, it can be either a plain pattern or decorative design, and then pick out a feet blanket to lay across the bed. Now move to the floor; find an area rug that will tie the room together and prevent things from looking too random. Another opportunit­y to add fabric to your room is a window; find some unique curtains to hang over your windows.

• Lighting isn’t the most fun aspect of decor at first thought, but there are so many ways to light your room and it’s one of the most significan­t changes you can make. Bohemian decor requires intricate lighting. Lantern style lamps will give your room that perfect diffused glow. But definitely incorporat­e some scented candles! • Bohemian decor wouldn’t be complete without a little green. This green could be natural or artificial, depending on your preference. Go shopping for beautiful green plants, also shop for luxurious vases for these plants. Make sure not to go for bulky and high-tipped plants, but plants of a smaller nature. • Details are where bohemian decor shines. Just one rule here; leave no surface bare. The great part about choosing a bohemian decor style is that you can decorate with basically anything.

• This is the part where bohemian decor can lose its focus and become cluttered and unflatteri­ng. Patterns are both essential and challengin­g to incorporat­e. You’ll want to work with several patterns to give the sense of movement and layers that is central to bohemian decor. A tip to simplify your life when adding patterns; let your pieces share at least one colour and attempt to stay in the same pattern family.
