One of the interior design trends that have been widely embraced in many homes has to be modern bohemian home design.
At times, many of us have boho chic homes even without noticing.
So, what is the Bohemian style? The bohemian style creates a home full of life, oozing culture and expressing global items from many areas of the world, all in an aesthetic and casual manner.
Modern boho-chic style is eclectic and emphasizes ethnic and vintage pieces from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

1. Mix Colors and Patterns with an Ethnic Twist
If there is something you will notice about every boho space, it is the patterned colors!
In a way, a bohemian home is maximalist-inspired but with an ethnic twist.
You can add tons of color and patterns just like you would in a maximalist living room.
However, to bring in the modern boho vibe, be sure to mix it with ethnic patterns like tribal prints and geometric patterns which are essential ingredients in a boho-chic home.
Some of the most-embraced colors include olive green, rusty oranges, mustard yellow, wine red, vintage brown, and velvet blue.
2. Use Natural, Raw or Rustic Finishes
No matter the shade or smoothness of natural, raw, and rustic finishes, your bohemian home won’t be complete without it.
Clearly, the bohemian style utilizes accessories made of rustic, natural, or raw materials such as sisal, wood, rattan, or hemp.
Think of cactus silk pillows, sisal rugs, rattan swinging chairs, leather plant hangers, velvet pillows, leather footstool, or traditional mud cloth pillows.
You can also add metallic accents like metal lampstands or clay accents like handmade wall hangings for a modern touch.
