Minimalist home décor might be popular, but there are still some who refuse to trade in colors, textures, and patterns for sleek, monochrome designs. For those with a flair for the creative, unexpected, and lived-in looks, bohemian décor is the way to go. Below, let these 7 boho living rooms ideas—plus how-to advice from interior designer Justina Blakeney of Jungalow—inspire your next living room revamp.

01 Go Natural

"I'm a big fan of natural materials in the home," Blakeney says, "and rattan is certainly having a moment." Rattan is the perfect natural material to incorporate in a bohemian living room. The eco-friendly vine is both lightweight and strong, making it ideal for a number of décor uses. Blakeney also points out that it's a great neutral base to layer with other colors and textures.

02 Feature Collected Items

Bohemianism is all about bringing found objects into the home. Blakeney suggests incorporating old items and collected pieces from around the world to give a space an authentic bohemian vibe. When thinking about found pieces, look for contrasting colors and textures, Blakeney says.

03 Incorporate Cozy Materials

Part of creating a bohemian-inspired living room is leaning on pieces that are (or look like) they've been collected over time. Here, a vintage area rug is a cozy backdrop for plants, and woven or wicker baskets and furniture. Floor cushions add a touch of leisure.

05 Incorporate the Old With the New

Along with collected items, you can incorporate pieces both new and old to get the boho look. Blakeney is a fan of reupholstering, which can breathe new life into an older object. "I like to have fun with reupholstering old sofas in bold botanical prints," Blakeney says. You can also try your hand at thrift shopping to find unique home décor items to go with newer furnishings.

06 Hang Art

One distinctive feature of bohemian décor is the ability to transform any surface into a work of art. Consider incorporating upcycled objects, hand-painted furniture, and textile wall art, as well as a striking gallery wall to express your personality. A perfect addition to this style is the Crystal Raindrop Elegance Rectangular Chandelier, which features faceted-glass crystals and a stunning rain drop display. It not only illuminates but also enhances the artistic flair of your dining or living space.

07 Prioritize a Lived-in Feel

Again, the thing about creating a bohemian living room is opting for pieces that look and feel more weathered and worn than shiny and new. Here, this couch looks like it's been well-loved. A bright blue accent wall and bright orange pillows keeps things lively.
