How to Furnish Bohemian Style Living Room

When choosing the furniture for your bohemian style living room it is important to remember that there is no one single style that everyone has to adopt.

The boho look can be achieved using very different approaches to selecting furniture, and the easiest way to go about it – without hiring an interior designer – is to collect plenty of inspiration in terms of what you like.

Do a little mood board of the styles that you like – don’t worry about practicalities too much or how that furniture would fit into your living room. Once you’re done, look for any connecting elements!

Do you tend to lean towards a certain size or shape of a sofa? How about storage? How much storage do you think you will need to cater for?

Lastly, functionality always beats design – there is no point in having a pretty living room if using it on a daily basis presents constant challenges, so that’s something to keep in mind.

Here are some classic furniture pieces that would work well for your bohemian style living room:

think of the main focal point of the room – is it the fireplace? or the TV? or perhaps you have a dining table there too? That should be the starting point of your furniture selection
in terms of sofas, usually, the ones in neutral tones give you a blank canvas to work from and they are super easy to accessorize with pillows
having the main piece of furniture in neutral colors is also great for when you want to change the look of the room without buying new furniture – you can simply update the accessories
side tables or small section tables from natural materials like rattan look great in the living room, and give it a bit more edge. They are normally preferable to glass and metal tables which can make the room look like a conference space.
carpet selection and flooring have a massive impact on the look and feel of the room – make sure you get that right! Click here for more flooring ideas.

don’t be scared of colors – just make sure you have a color palette in mind and don’t buy random colored accessories
natural elements like shells or wooden chests look great and don’t cost a fortune
one of the biggest upgrades you can make within a budget is updating your lighting – your main overhead lamp in the living room could be with a gorgeous rattan shade which instantly elevates the look of the whole living room
pictures and posters are a cheap way to fill the empty space and make the room look cozier – just choose natural motives in warm neutral colors – see below for inspiration
