5 Ways to Incorporate the Modern Boho Style Home Trend

Air plant / Pot: Hobby Lobby

Amber again here, guest posting for Diana! We just wrapped up a new vacation rental with a fun modern bohemian style, and I was so excited when Diana asked me to share our latest vacation rental and decor style which is bohemian theme.
Here are my top 5 tips on incorporating a collected bohemian style without feeling like a total hippie.

1 / Woven Wall Hangings and Texture

Mirrors, framed artwork or texture pieces are very in right now. Switch up your walls by adding texture pick out a wall hanging they are easy to find. You can get them in any color to go with your decor and they come in different sizes.

You can also take a class and make one. If you want a special artisan made, check out Etsy.

2 / Layered Pillows and Throws

To achieve a bohemian style, try using pillows in varying textures and colors – patterned metallics, dyed silks or velvets, and fun tufted and tasseled options too. Same goes for throws and bedding.  Try a macrame, faux fur or a woven option draped off the foot of the bed or piled in a basket nearby for easy access to snuggle.

3 / Bring in some “real” life with plants fiddle fig, succulents, or air plants

Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree: Cost Plus World Market / Brass end tables: Target (clearance, similar) / Glass coffee table: IKEA

The tall fiddle fig from Cost Plus doesn’t always look awesome in the store, but if you tweak and position the leaves once you’re home, it will look great!

Fiddle Fig: Target / White Pot: Home Goods / Pink Rock light: Home Goods

^^ I love the small fiddle fig from Target. I staged it here in a little white plant stand I scored at a Home Goods.

Air plant / Pot: Hobby Lobby

Last tip, swing by Hobby Lobby and use the 40% off coupon to pick up an air plant located near their floral department. No one would ever be able to tell! Air plants really look exactly the same and almost have the same level of maintenance so you may as well just get a fake one!

4 / Decorative Carved Pottery + Wood Trays

Pottery vases: Hobby Lobby

Try layering different styles of carving, or a few pottery vases with different patterns grouped together on a tray.

5 / Mixing metals and adding rose gold

Don’t be afraid to mix metals.  Just because you find a beautiful gold light fixture does not mean you have to change out all your cabinet hardware and accent pieces to match! Mixed metals give an eclectic look and gives it a lot of personality.

Bookshelf: IKEA / 2 woven lanterns: Home Goods

You don’t have to be matchy-matchy. There’s no rule that says everything has to match. For example in a bathroom a lot of homes will have a lot of matching like brass nickel from towel bar to faucet. Don’t be afraid to switch out for unique vanity lights and towel hooks without having to overhaul you entire bathroom.
We love finding all kinds of unique pieces, and layering them together gives a mature collected look.

Night stand: IKEA / Knobs: Hobby Lobby (on sale)

^^ I especially love the little brushed gold knobs we swapped out on the IKEA nightstands in the guest room. We found these knobs in Hobby Lobby.
