Boho Chic: Lots of wood, cream tones, lace & crochet

The Boho style is an imperfect and romantic look. Despite the imperfection, the interior looks coherent and natural and invites you to linger. By choosing materials that are reminiscent of craftsmanship, your interior is given a special charm. Hippies were or are known for breaking norms, which is exactly what the furnishings in Boho Chic should embody.

Origin of the Boho style: bohemian, creativity and the pursuit of freedom

The name Boho comes from the French Bohemian and refers to a fringe group of the 19th century, which strived for freedom and protested against the norms of society. This fringe group consisted of creative people, such as poets, painters, writers, sculptors and musicians. Bohemia is an unconventional way of life that differs from the social ideal and longs for freedom.

Since the 1960s, the bohemian lifestyle has flourished again and the people of this fringe group now call themselves hippies. Love, Peace and Freedom is now in the foreground. Flower power became more and more hip and this was also transferred to clothing and furnishings. Floral patterns and wide, loose clothing became more and more hip and the emblem of hippie culture. It was precisely this looseness and spirit of life that people then wanted to incorporate into their furnishings. In the 1990s, the step was then dared to take the hippie style into the home. Some artists interpreted the hippie style of the 6o’s and 70’s and so the Boho Style was created. If you now combine the Boho Style with modern colors, patterns and shapes, you speak of the trendy Boho Chic, which embodies ease, comfort and style.

Do you like to live in a home that looks unconventional, casual and different from other interiors, then Boho Chic is for you!

Carpets & materials: mix of textile and natural materials

Who wants to have cold feet when getting up? To prevent this, a carpet is ideal. It’s best to choose a Persian rug, as it perfectly reflects the boho style. A carpet is not only an eye-catcher in the bedroom or living room, but also radiates warmth and cosiness. Not only a Persian-look rug is a chic accessory, but also braided rugs with fringes. Other materials that embody boho chic are the following: Wood, leather, rattan, cotton and linen. Natural materials with cute details, such as fringe, or lace are welcome in a Boho Chic interior. It is important that many materials are reminiscent of craftsmanship and nature, as boho style originally stems from a movement of creative people who are freedom lovers. In addition, soft and homely materials are essential.

Colours and patterns: bright colours, pastel shades & classic patterns

The Boho style stands for unconventional living, as well as the message should also be considered in the choice of colors. The mixture of soft cream tones with flashy colors makes the Boho Style. Especially the style mix in the Bohostyle is the special and what you should pay attention to. Here are a few tips for the right color choice:

• There should be single spots of color in the boho style. Just make sure that it is not too colorful and restless
• Use light colors so that the room looks friendly and not oppressive
• It is best to stay in one colour family. Combine only occasionally contrasting colors with each other
• Choose bright colors as the focal point of your decor, not the base. So keep wall colours and large pieces of furniture simple and unobtrusive.

The typical patterns in bohemian style are gaudy and eye-catching patterns, but also patterns inspired by other cultures. Patterns include: Macramee (Arabic knotting technique in which threads and strings are braided), Batik (also trendy in fashion) and Patchwork (interplay of multiple patterns). Have you brought these patterns into your interior design? Then nothing stands in the way of your Boho style interior.

Design walls & floor: Bohemian Style Furnishings

If you want to decorate your home in boho style, you can get a lot of inspiration on social media or Pinterest. The interior design style has never been so hot. The boho style is one of the most popular interior design styles of this decade and that is exactly why there is enough inspiration on the net. Here are a few tips and inspirations on what to look for when decorating and how to do it right.

Natural style flooring: wooden floor, stone floor or concrete floor

When it comes to the floor, you have many options in Boho Style. It depends with the Boho Chic rather on the furniture and the decoration. A simple floor is therefore best, which does not steal the show of the decoration. A floor made of natural material is particularly suitable for this. Suitable floors would be the following:

• Wooden floor: matt or glazed, light or dark
• Stone floor (maybe add some highlights, e.g. tile with a cool pattern)
• Concrete floor

Walls: patterned wallpaper, cream tones, delicate pastel shades & Co.

The walls, like the flooring, should not steal the show. Nevertheless, you can be a little bolder here than with the floor. As with the interior design, you can also install individual eye-catchers on the walls in the form of bright colours or patterns. However, you should make sure that only isolated walls with gaudy patterns or colors are used. The rest of the room should be kept in plain colours: Cream tones, soft pastels, white or warm greys are particularly suitable.

Bedroom: Relax with decoration & furniture

To implement the Boho style in your bedroom you need many natural materials and soft, cozy textiles. If you mix these two materials together, nothing will stand in the way of your bedroom in the trendy Boho Chic living style.

Colours in the bedroom: homely colours with bold accents

For the bedroom, you should go for earthy colors and not gaudy ones. Earthy colors like brown, beige or olive radiate warmth and coziness, so exactly what you are looking for in a bedroom. By the way, black is also suitable in small quantities, which reflects the modern and clean colour scheme. Once you have used these basic shades, you can be brave and add a few colour accents. Metallic colours, red (Bordeaux red), mustard yellow, royal blue, turquoise or a warm blue are particularly suitable for this. You just have to be careful not to choose too many colours, so that you end up with an unstable picture. So decide on two or three colours that you want to use as colour accents.

Natural materials: wood, velvet, linen, rattan & co.

As materials should be used in the bedroom mainly homely-looking materials that radiate a lot of warmth. Wood, velvet, linen, rattan and leather are particularly suitable for this. However, wood should be chosen as the basis, because wood radiates a lot of warmth. The remaining materials can be incorporated into the bedroom with the help of cool DIY ideas or as accessories. Especially cushions, curtains or blankets in linen fabric or linen look are trendy and embody the Boho Chic perfectly.

Decorations for your bedroom: linen pillows, cotton blankets, copper bowls…

Speaking of pillows, we can also go directly to the decoration. The decoration is super important in Boho Chic and should therefore be well chosen and discreet, but still present in the room to be seen. On the one hand, linen pillows or curtains are a great way to properly use textile and bring in the decoration with. Since linen is not really one of the softest materials, you should definitely still use some homely and warm fabrics. So go for cotton, rugs with fringes and cozy bedding. Now complement these materials with a few accessories, such as copper bowls, table lamps with gold-plated bases, pictures with floral or oriental motifs, simple shelves, candles and ceiling lamps made of natural materials.

Living room: Sofa in warm colours, cushions with pattern & Co.

With the accessories and the colors, you can turn completely after the colors and materials in the bedroom. In Boho Chic, instead of “less is more”, it’s more “more is more”. So don’t be squeamish with the decoration and the color choice. It is only important that in the end no restless confusion arises.

So choose warm colors as a basis, so beige, brown or cream tones. The highlights you then implement in the decoration. Oriental patterns and the use of wood, cotton, linen and co. make the style perfect and your living room shines in the trendy Boho Chic living style.

Boho Chic Furniture: A Mix of Vintage & Modern Furniture

A mix of furniture and styles is just the thing in boho chic. Combine new and modern furniture with vintage furniture, or cool flea market finds. The most important thing is that it should still be a coherent picture in the end. Choose delicate furniture and no bulky wooden furniture that looks too present in the room. There should be a harmony between the furniture and this only happens if you match the furniture from the colors and style to each other. So again, settle on one to three basic colours as a basis. Furniture with beautiful and individual squiggles, reminiscent of the oriental style, is also very welcome.

Living room furnishings: Tips & tricks for the interior

To create a living environment that you’ll feel comfortable in for the long term, you should approach it with thought. It’s always worth looking for inspiration. Platforms like Pinterest are particularly good. For example, you can find us as FIV Magazine on Pinterest and browse through the interior design ideas we’ve put together for you.

Vision, Ideas & Inspirations: What does your ideal living room look like?

It’s best to start by finding out what you like and don’t like. When researching ideas for your new interior, it’s worth paying particular attention to what appeals to you personally or what you don’t like at all.

Write down what you notice and hold on to particularly good ideas. If you feel like it and have the time, you can also create a vision board. You can do this either digitally or physically. To do this, you select your favorite images and create a collage from them, in which you set down the suggestions and thoughts.

Planning & budget: style, design and colour selection of furniture and wall colours

Once you have a rough idea of what you want the room to look like, or even a more specific idea, it’s time to start planning. Point one: budget. There are two ways to approach the money question. Either you inform yourself about the rough costs of the measures, decoration and furniture you are planning for the new living room, or you set yourself a personal budget that you do not want to exceed.

Step number two is to review restrictions. Budget may also be a constraint, but we’re talking more about things like landlord regulations, consideration for children and accessibility, but also structural constraints, like where do pipes run and which walls are difficult to drill into? So that nothing stands in the way of your projects or, even worse, you accidentally cause damage, this should be clarified.

Before you start looking for furniture, there’s one last step to take, and that’s choosing an aesthetic and color palette that you want to keep the space in. This step is particularly important in order to achieve a coherent interior that fits perfectly into the overall picture.

Furnishing styles: 3 types of room design

To give you a rough idea of what stylish interior design can look like, we would like to briefly present a few interesting options for a cosy living room. You can find more detailed information on the individual options in our magazine.

Modern: Contemporary design

This may sound a little confusing, but did you know that the most popular furniture right now is called Mid-Century Modern and is actually inspired by the style of the fifties?

Beauty of function, as well as beauty of form.

That was the motto with which designers created furniture. Simple, rounded shapes and creations that should fit into the room image and give the owners as long as possible pleasure. You can find furniture design in the popular style here:

• Essential Home

Less mid-century, but just as modern and unusual are the furniture and decorative items from the Portuguese label Luxxu. If you are looking for eye-catching home accessories and high-quality furniture, you will find it here. If you want to learn more about the interior producer, take a look here:

• Luxxu

Minimalist: elegant restraint with simple furniture & colours

Less is more’ This is a simple way to describe the motto of minimalism. Ornaments and other extras are spared, so that furniture is reduced to the minimum. This creates a simple elegance that fits very well into a neutral living environment and is equally well received by men and women.

Minimalist design should not be confused with minimalism itself. Minimalism describes an attitude towards life in which one gets rid of superfluous belongings. While the two can go hand in hand, minimalist interior design is not synonymous with minimalism.

• Minimalism furnishings

Country style: living room with natural fabrics, old pink and natural colours

Rustic, gentle and creative: that is the country house style. Over the years, different variations of the country style have developed. On the one hand, the Boho Chic, which is inspired by the gaudy Boho, but turns to muted colors. On the other hand, English country house style, which rather combines old pink and patterns. English country style is the mixture of country house and boho.

Especially wood, natural materials and plants fit well to the country style and provide a cozy home.

Furniture: sofa, armchairs, pictures and the decoration

A complete refurbishment definitely includes a general overhaul of the furniture. And a little more money can be spent on this. This ensures that the new furnishings not only look good, but that you can also enjoy them for a little longer, because high-quality materials and fabrics often promise better durability and greater comfort.

Sofa: comfortable upholstered landscape in many shapes & colours

We spend an average of four hours a day on the couch. To make that time relaxing, your couch should be just perfect. For this, a few decisions need to be made that will make up your new couch.

First you should decide on a material for the upholstery. The classic materials are cotton, velvet, linen and leather. Leather has the advantage over other woven fabrics that it is only partially permeable to water and is very robust, making it super easy to remove minor stains.

In addition, leather looks very high quality. If, on the other hand, you prefer a sofa that you can practically convert into a bed for your guests, for example, leather is less suitable. Overall, it is worthwhile in this case to go for a sofa with a foam core instead of standard springs and foam.

Lamps & candles: home accessories for a cosy ambience

Light is capable of literally transforming a room. You can create a cosy or romantic ambience with the clever use of lamps and candles that provide soft light. Ceiling washlights offer the option of distributing the light over a large area of the room, while smaller lamps offer the option of reading.

Candles are often used not necessarily to give light, but rather to transform the room into a warm, cozy environment. They also offer the possibility to bring pleasant scents into the house. This is possible, for example, through the exclusive scented candles of the Maison Christian Dior fragrance collection, which offers small olfactory wonders in the form of candles, room sprays, perfumes and more.

Decoration: Add that certain something with little things like cushions or plants

Beautiful furniture is one thing, but without an appealing decoration even the most beautiful room looks bare and empty. Remedy for this are different decorative items that you can place in your living room to make it even cozier.

Cushions provide extra comfort, plants bring life to the place and mirrors make the room look bigger. Some decorations you probably do not even have to buy extra, but you already have them at home, because even books can decorate your room.

In short, this is the decoration that you should include in your room design:

• Cushion
• Plants
• Ceilings
• Candles
• Books/Coffee Table Books
• Mirror

Tables: Coffee table & Co – storage space and functional eye-catcher

Can you furnish a living room without a coffee table? The answer is yes, but you should be prepared for many annoying moments when guests or you yourself accidentally knock over the glass of red wine placed on the floor when getting up, or once again you can’t find a suitable place for the book you’ve started.

For this reason, we highly recommend that you go for a coffee table, especially since there are so many exciting coffee tables on the market that are not only practical, but also a small work of art and thus visually enhance the entire room.

Living room design: Pictures, partition wall and wall paint

In addition to the pure standard furnishings, you can of course also start larger decorating projects that give you the opportunity to individualize your home and adapt it to your personal wishes and needs. In addition, with a few tricks of the trade, you can redesign rooms to make them feel like a new home. If you are looking for a bit of variety in your life, then you have come to the right place.

Partition walls: Personal room partitioning in many designs

Rooms that are too large are quickly overwhelming and make the apartment look uncomfortable. A simple way to create structure without major construction work is to use partitions, open shelves and screens.

You can either build your own rollable partitions or buy them ready-made. Another great advantage of these room dividers is that you can get creative with colours and applications, regardless of the regulations in the rental contract.

Open shelving is often used to divide rooms into areas with different purposes, for example, it is a great way to separate the living area from the dining area without making the room look smaller or oppressive.

The last option is represented by screens. Screens are medium-high, foldable walls that are often decorated with patterns and colors. Screens are especially good for covering unsightly corners or creating a more private workspace.

Home Bar: Perfect for hobby bartenders

Whether for a relaxed drink alone or with friends, a home bar quickly becomes the highlight of every get-together. But be careful: with your own bar, it could be that in the future all meetings take place at your place.

So, having set that warning, now a little more about what a home bar can be. After all, either it is simply a cabinet with spirits, glasses and a cocktail mixer, but we want more! The best home bars are the ones with all the trimmings: bar counter, bar stools like the ones from Cassina and of course ice maker, various alcohol glasses and a fridge filled with the best beers, wines and champagne!

No idea about cocktails? No problem! Here you’ll find the best cocktail recipes with and without alcohol for fun evenings with friends:

• Delicious, simple drinks with and without alcohol

Café Bar: Starbucks & Co. at home in your living room

Cold Brew, Dalgona Coffee, Pumpkin Spice Latte: coffee is trendy! Even if you’re not a fan of the sweet coffee specialties, the thought of having your own coffee bar warms the cockles of many a heart. The pleasant tart-nutty aroma has simply become an everyday luxury that you just don’t want to give up, because many of us literally need the bitter drink to survive.

So how about a coffee bar in the living room? Not only will you benefit from the practical set-up, but your guests will love it too. All you need is a medium-height chest of drawers and shelves, a multi-plug if necessary, a coffee maker or kettle, coffee, cups and a few hooks to hang the cups.

You can also add different syrups, sugar, condensed milk and more to your coffee bar to increase the variety. The bar is a fun project that you can start alone, with your partner, parents, or whomever you want to have with you. You won’t want to leave your living room!

Are you still looking for inspiration for what great creations you can conjure up in your own new coffee bar? Then we have a few warming coffee recipes for you that you can easily recreate!

Repaint: These are the trends for wall colors in any living room

Choosing a colour for the living room is often a tedious task. Do you prefer a calm, neutral colour or a tone that brings some life into your four walls? Of course, this depends entirely on the chosen interior style and personal preferences. Nevertheless, we tell you here the most modern colors for your living room.

First, an understated gray. The trend is more towards cool medium-dark grey, but feel free to use lighter, warm tones if it fits better with your room setup. Don’t be afraid to combine grey with one of the other colours to create beautiful effects.

The next color is gray-green. A deep bottle green is mixed with gray to create a cool, modern color that stands out especially well in industrial interior designs and pairs great with brick red. A true dream combination.

The last colour is old rose. It is soft, feminine and brings a splash of colour to both light and darker living environments. The pastel color is great to combine with natural tones, as well as mixed, more colorful colors. Particularly beautiful combinations are:

• Old pink/grey
• Old pink/beige
• Old pink/sky blue

Kitchen planning & furnishing: From ideas to delivery & installation

Planning a kitchen can take a lot of time and is not always easy to implement. There are many factors to consider and you should think about your dream kitchen in advance. How much space is available? How should it look like? What appliances do I need? Will I still like the kitchen in a few years? These are some aspects you should think about beforehand. In the following article we will give you many different tips and suggestions about the equipment of your dream kitchen, so that you can design it exclusively.

First idea: Get advice and find your inspiration

First of all, you should be aware that kitchen planning is very demanding and should be put together precisely. For this reason, we recommend that you consult an expert so that your kitchen is ideally and individually tailored to your wishes. In this first step, think about what you expect from a perfect kitchen. Which materials should be used? How much workspace and storage space do you need? Do you want a cooking island? All these aspects should be discussed and agreed upon during the initial considerations.

Tip! Popular and luxurious interior brands and furniture are presented here: Interior Brands XXL!

Preparation: Furniture, materials, equipment & Co.

Now comes the preparation for the new kitchen. In this step, furniture, materials, but also the equipment and desired appliances are determined. Take a look at the space you have available and have the furniture planned to fit exactly. Factors such as daylight, the required storage space or the visual details also play a role. Choose between a high-gloss or matt kitchen front, with handles or without. The material of the worktop also plays an important role. You will learn more about all these topics in the course of this article. Basically, however, these three steps should be taken into account when planning:

• How much space is available?
• What are the dimensions and where are the connections?
• What’s your budget?

The planning of the equipment should also not be missing in this step. Choose exclusive kitchen appliances and integrate them into your dream kitchen right from the start. Choose the right fridge and a powerful extractor hood. Choose between a gas, electric or induction cooker. Especially if you have a lot of space, there are no limits to the number and size of your appliances.

Planning, delivery and assembly

Once you have a clear idea of your dream kitchen, you should choose a manufacturer of your choice so that they can implement your ideas and wishes. Look out for a selection of high-quality products and have a 3D design of your kitchen shown to you. Last but not least, you should find out about the exact delivery times, transport and assembly of your kitchen, so that everything is coordinated in advance.

Planning a cooking island: Make cooking an experience

You have now learned how the rough steps to your dream kitchen work. Now we will give you an insight into the details, so that you can design everything ideally and according to your wishes. A dream of many is a cooking island. It offers a lot of space, is exclusive and makes cooking an experience. Look forward to your next dinner party with your friends and create a convivial atmosphere with a perfectly designed cooking island.

What should you consider? Size, use, needs

Before you decide on a cooking island, you should see if the available space offers enough room. The larger the space, the better. Decide on the ideal dimensions so that the size of the island can be tailored to your needs. If you cook alone, it can be smaller. If you like to cook with friends or family, a larger island would be beneficial. The distance between the kitchen furniture should also be large enough. A minimum distance of 120cm is recommended. Also think about what you want to use the island for. As a pure work surface? As a hob? or including a sink system? Think about it beforehand so that everything can be laid out to fit exactly.

Advantages and disadvantages of the cooking island: Cooking together requires a lot of space

A cooking island is a dream of many hobby chefs, but you should still weigh the pros and cons of all decisions. We have done this for you and put together a list with the most important key points.

Advantages

• Offers plenty of storage space for small or large devices
• Kitchen islands provide the opportunity to cook together and leads to a convivial atmosphere
• Bar stools can also be integrated into the island and make your kitchen more homely.

Disadvantages

• A cooking island needs a lot of space
• Must be planned elaborately
• Mostly clear view of dirty dishes, especially in eat-in kitchens.

Worktop material: selection & criteria

Countertops are one of the most important things in a kitchen. After all, in addition to aesthetics, it must be particularly functional. It should be robust, heat-resistant, resistant to moisture and easy to clean. In other words, multifunctional. A worktop is mainly used for cutting fruit or vegetables, serving dishes or storing electrical appliances. Therefore, it should also have a certain size. We recommend a minimum width of 90cm and a minimum depth of 60cm. In the following, we will introduce you to some materials so that you can make the right choice.

Concrete worktop: robust, solid and loft charm

A concrete slab is particularly robust, solid and has a rough surface. The material is very heavy, but offers some functional advantages and is, among other things, scratch-resistant. To make this worktop easy to maintain, it is recommended to seal it with oil or natural wax or to apply a synthetic sealant. This protects your plate permanently from stains, but the concrete becomes less rough and loses some of its loft charm.

Natural stone worktop: granite, marble or slate

Natural stones look particularly noble and robust in a kitchen. They are mostly very heat, cut and scratch resistant, but also have their price. Especially granite is particularly robust and you will have no problems with such a plate. Accordingly, it is also expensive. One meter of this slab can cost about 250€. Natural stones are usually grey and appear cool. This should match the materials of your furniture. When cleaning, you should avoid acid-free cleaners and have the plate impregnated for protection.

Wooden worktop: homely atmosphere and warm wood tones

Wood is warm and creates a homely atmosphere. Nevertheless, you should note that all types of wood are not very robust and therefore can not keep up in quality with, for example, natural stone. In addition, you should never cut fruit or vegetables on the plate itself, as this can lead to bacteria. To make the material more durable, it is advisable to impregnate it with oil or seal it with varnish.

Energy-saving cooking? Here you can find out how you can save electricity when cooking.

Kitchen faucet: Faucets with extra comfort & functions

Once you have planned your furniture and materials in your kitchen, you can get down to the details and make them ideal for the other things. This also applies to the kitchen faucet. There are now many different models with the most unusual extra functions. You are now spoilt for choice and have to choose the right kitchen tap. We present you here the materials and possible extras so that you can choose the right model.

Material kitchen faucet: quality has its price

Care should be taken when choosing the material. You drink from a kitchen tap and use the water for cooking. Accordingly, you should definitely get advice from an expert and rather invest a little more money in it. The materials should be of high quality so that they do not release anything into the water which could endanger your health. If the quality deteriorates, the kitchen faucets could release lead or nickel into the drinking water. We recommend using a faucet made of stainless steel or fully nickel-plated brass.

Extra functions kitchen tap: boiling water from the tap

Modern kitchen faucets in particular are no longer used exclusively for fetching water. Depending on the price range, they offer exclusive and luxurious extra functions that will make your life and your cooking easier. We’ll introduce you to a few here, so you can find out about the latest gadgets.

• Boiling, chilled or bubbling water: Some multi-talents among the kitchen taps offer you different types of water and are a true luxury. Not only does it save you from lugging around water bottles, but also the space for a kettle.
• Touch function: If your hands are dirty or not free during cooking, you can operate the kitchen tap with an electronic touch pad. These innovative control switches will make your processes easier.
• Retractable taps: Especially if you prefer an always tidy kitchen, a retractable tap is very practical. It disappears visually, makes your kitchen look clean and is also very practical.

Extractor hood: design meets function

With cooker hoods, you are now offered a wide variety of modern models. You should not invest too little in this kitchen aid and rely on quality. The extractor hood is responsible for cleaning the air when cooking and filters it. Accordingly, it ensures a good indoor climate in the kitchen. You have the choice between three extractor hood techniques. The exhaust air, recirculation, or hybrid technology.

Designs for cooker hoods: types & options

You can choose from a wide variety and buy a cooker hood with many extra features or a fancy design. Depending on your personal needs, you should choose which hood is suitable for you and which fits best in your kitchen. Would you like to have a particularly high-quality one or perhaps a more discreet one? We present you some designs here.

• Island hood: They are mounted free-hanging in the wall in the middle of the room and are ideal for cooking islands.
• Table hood: They are simply integrated into the worktop next to the cooking area and are hay-extendable. This makes them more powerful than normal trough extractors and gives them an attractive design.
• Flat screen hood: It is installed in the wall unit and is pulled out for use. After use, the hood disappears under the wall unit and is therefore very inconspicuous.

Additional functions: Lighting elements, screen and sound systems

In addition to the normal function, especially modern hoods have some additional functions that facilitate the work in the kitchen. These could be, for example, built-in lighting elements or a run-on function, which continues to run after switching off to suck in the last odors. A very special and exclusive additional function is provided by a multimedia cooker hood. This has a flat screen and a sound system integrated, so extremely luxurious and special.
