Hues to Choose: Selecting a Colour Palette for Your Boho Home Garden

Bohemian aesthetics can be described as free-spirited, artistic, and creative. When choosing a colour palette for your boho-themed space, you can let your creativity run wild and play with colours and patterns as much as you want! The boho style usually goes with neutral, earthy, and subdued tones to complement the plants and greenery in your space rather than neons and pastels.

We have included some galleries of boho-themed interiors with recommended colour options to give you a glimpse into this style.

Play With Patterns: The World of Boho Patterns

This aesthetic is contrary to the minimal and modern way of styling. Patterns and textures bring life to your boho-themed space, so ideally, it is recommended to play around with patterns and experiment with what goes with your preference and aesthetics. Boho patterns are all about mixing and matching different prints to create a unique and eclectic look. You can play with bold graphic prints, delicate florals, leaf patterns, tribal designs, and so much more. The best part is that there are no rules, so you can have fun experimenting with different patterns until you find the perfect combination!

Now, if you're worried about going overboard with patterns, don't fret. A good rule of thumb is to start with a neutral base and then add patterns gradually. For example, you might start with a neutral sofa and then add patterned throw pillows, a textured rug, a patterned tapestry, or hanging plants. Mixing different patterns is also totally okay, like pairing a floral print with a bold stripe or a geometric pattern with a paisley.
