What Is Bohemian Interior Design Style?

Also known as boho design, bohemian interior design style is creative, free-spirited, and rich in color, texture, and contrast. It’s all about breaking formal décor and design rules and incorporating a mix of vibrant colors, patterns, earth tones, and your personality to create a breathtaking space that's warm, welcoming, and quintessentially yours.

Since bohemian interior design is meant to break rules and be personal, it's difficult to identify common elements. However, there are some basic principles that can help you create a nuanced bohemian interior design style:

• Choose an earthy color palette: Start from a foundation of neutrals like browns, greens, blues, and grays.
• Layer textures: Introduce contrasting materials, like wood, metal, stone, and textiles, to add depth, warmth, and balance.
• Coordinate colors: Use a variety of shades and tones of a single color throughout the room or house, like tiled flooring with a  splash of light blue, cyan drapery, and sky-blue cushions on the couch.
• Include patterns: Mix patterned wallpaper, cushions, drapery, and area rugs to create a delightfully rich feel.
• Experiment with bold hues or jewel tones: Add artwork, paint, wallpaper, or decorative items in shades that pop.
• Display your collections: Showcase items you've picked up from your travels or found locally, like books, paintings, lighting, sculptures, travel memoirs, and family heirlooms that tell your story.
• Add in Wood: Incorporate baskets, macrame, hardwood flooring, and wood window treatment, as organic materials are central to achieving a boho look.
• Incorporate greenery: Include plants in a range of shapes, sizes, and varieties, from small ornamental trees to potted plants and flowers.

What to Look for in Bohemian Window Coverings

You likely already have a good idea of what to look for in bohemian window coverings based on the list above. Consider these elements as you shop:

• Add several layers: Start with a base layer of shutters, blinds, or shades, paired with drapery, then add another layer with a cornice or valance.
• Skip neutrals: Choose a rich color, pattern, or design to accent your boho decor.
• Look for texture: Incorporate wood, metal, velvet, bouclé, wool, and silk to add dimension and variety to your look.
• Select unique finials: Choose curtain rod ends that add a decorative, personal touch.
• Trust your instincts: Skip any colors, décor, or patterns that don't feel like you.

Top Bohemian Window Treatments

Since bohemian window treatments are highly personal, the following suggestions are just a starting point. During your consultation, our team will help you select patterns, colors, materials, and textures that make your home a genuine reflection of your personality.

• Wood Blinds: The organic texture and straight lines of these window treatments are a win for boho decor. They're also easy to adjust to enjoy the view and block UV rays.
• Wood Shutters: Sturdy and strong, these are perfect for most interior design styles, including bohemian interiors.
• Woven Wood Shades: Handcrafted from reeds, bamboo, and grasses, they're highly textured, and each is unique. They filter light, which blocks UV rays, and you can add a privacy liner.
• Cellular Shades: Made from fabric shaped into honeycomb cells, these create pockets that fill with air to improve energy efficiency. These shades range from sheer to room-darkening and are available in hundreds of colors.
• Roman Shades: Layered fabrics create flat or billowing folds, adding eye-catching depth and texture. You can select the opacity, color, material, and pattern to get a look you love.
