Boho - how the style appeared, who suits it and how it looks

You can often hear the name of the style of clothing and boho interior. What is it in general, where did this direction come from? In fact, this is a cross between elements of vintage, hippies, gypsy ethnicity and God knows what else. It has become popular in clothing design and in creating an emotional atmosphere in indoor environments. To embody the boho style in the interior, you need to have a certain taste and creative thinking. It combines really bold ideas, is a kind of reflection of the inner world of its creator.

Style basics

Boho interior not suitable for those who like minimalism. Rather, on the contrary, it is for those who prefer bright colors, many unusual little things and exotic household items, placed around the apartment. Having taken up the arrangement of your home, you can walk through flea markets and markets in search of suitable gizmos. Boho style does not adhere to any rules in choosing a color palette

. You just have to be careful not to overdo it with the variegation of colors and be able to combine colors at least a little. Usually choose:

• green, the color of spring juicy grass;
• pink and scarlet;
• yellow, like a fragrant ripe lemon;
• sky blue;
• delicate lilac, pastel color.

It turns out to be a bright, cozy space in the midst of urban grayness. And if, nevertheless, the created interior seems too bright, it is enough to remove a couple of elements and replace them with less catchy ones.

No matter how big the territory is - tastefully furnished boho will look organic everywhere.

Style directions

Conventionally, several directions can be distinguished:

• classic - includes ethnic motives, elements of nature, is more restrained in colors;
• hippies - a maximum of lace, fringe and floral images;
• ecological - natural materials are taken for decoration: paper, wood, stone, glass;
• luxurious - a parade of colors, unusual textures and decorative elements;
• glamorous - silk, rhinestones are used, and here you can combine antique furniture with modern accessories.

The room should have a lot of both natural light and warm artificial light. No white lamps. Sources are everywhere: an attractive floor lamp by the sofa, a cute lamp on the table, a charming night light by the bed. Let them all be with fabric, paper lampshades, with many decorative elements.

Finishing

In general, finishing is the alpha and omega of any repair. Let's go, as taught, from top to bottom - from the ceiling to the floor. Excellent materials for ceiling decoration:

• Plaster - can be any: both textured and the most common.
• Paint - is chosen after the basic scale of the room has been determined. Let it match one of the primary colors. Better to take matte. Glitter and glamor in the room and so on with interest.
• Stretch ceiling - ideally fabric and with a large weave.

You should not hide the ceiling beams and communications - this is another highlight of the stylistic design.

The walls are "dressed" in wallpaper with all sorts of ornaments: it does not matter whether it is a large drawing or a small, bright or barely noticeable one. For finishing painted walls, choose stucco or painting. You can resort to using a stencil. If the choice fell on plaster, then why not make it with relief?

Lay on the floor parquet, tile or laminate. You can also use mosaic patterns made of stone, wood. All this will be quite within the style.

Furnishings

Many decorative elements and textiles are the main components of this stylistic trend.

Furniture that has a shabby look, scuffs, cracks - any "imprint" of the time - that's what you need. It's not difficult to make interior items on your own, the main thing is to do it wisely, and not with the help of a sledgehammer, but they will fit perfectly. Shabby upholstery, a darkened body only adorn the product - these are the little things that make the interior unique.

Of course, if you don't have enough time to scrupulously search for each element (after all, the selection of parts can take years), it is enough to place a few accents. Let it be large objects: a shabby armchair, an antique-looking chest of drawers, a table battered by life (but not a checker, otherwise it will gobble up all the furniture).

The presence of ottomans and sofas is a must. An abundance of upholstered furniture and textiles will add comfort to the room: all kinds of tablecloths, lace napkins, patchwork bedspreads, embroidered pillows, window curtains.

Decor

Everything is used: figurines, candles, mirrors in the original frame, caskets, paintings, books, photos, antiques. Flowers in a painted vase are welcome. Not necessarily live, they are also suitable in a dried or artificial form (just count so that there are an odd number of them). Indoor plants are placed in unusual flower pots. A globe or a map of the world on the wall will also pour in here.

If there souvenirsbrought from distant countries, then they can be safely used for decoration.

Boho looks different in every room. For example, a bedroom can be outfitted with lots of cute pillows and patchwork textiles. It is better to use muted colors to create a more relaxed atmosphere - there is no need to tire your eyes before going to bed.

In the kitchen, it is quite appropriate to paint household appliances and cutlery with paints. Every detail here can become a full-fledged decorative element.

But in the living room you can embody the wildest fantasies. The main thing is to leave enough space for the passage between the furniture.

Connoisseurs of boho style in the interior claim that this is a great way to express your craving for luxury and wealth, and at the same time not look ridiculous. It is he who gives complete freedom of action, and allows you to maximize the personality of the owner.
