It’s that time of year. The seasons are starting to change. School is back in session. Routines are starting to take shape as we adjust to the start of the busy fall season. That’s a lot of change! As you start to hunker down and enjoy the cooler weather why not switch it up a little bit on the inside?

Just because the weather is cooling down does not mean your color palette needs to go into hibernation! Now is the time to start to embrace bold colors and rich jewel tones. For those of you that are a little color shy, it can be as easy as a new set of curtains, a piece of artwork or a throw pillow here and there.

Today we are designing a Modern Bohemian Living Room that embodies the perfect end of season transitional color palette. New to Bohemian Decor and want to learn more? Check out our design tips on How To Boho:Home Styling Tips for Bohemian Design.

Modern Bohemian Living Room

For Bohemian inspired living room spaces comfort is key. As you are selecting pieces look for items that are soft, cozy and textural. This will instantly add a sense of warmth into the space. Trust us… you will want to feel warm as winter approaches! To help your space feel grounded and serene draw inspiration from nature with botanical prints, decorative objects or planters. Don’t be worried if you don’t have a green thumb. Artificial plants that give a “nearly natural” appearance still provide the same effect without all the upkeep. Even nature inspired references in art will make you feel as if you are living among the trees even if it’s just a still picture.

Accent Rug Starter

If you are a follower of our blog then you know how much we love to start with a great area rug. It’s a great way to pull in color to the space and set the tone for the overall look and feel of the room. Not only that, rugs help soften the room and bring that little touch a cozy and warmth. As fall and cooler weather approaches and every bit of warmth is a much needed respite!

This rug is a true chameleon. It has a traditional, familiar pattern but with global appeal. There is also a great representation of color without being too overdone. This is a great piece for those of you that don’t like fussy details but appreciate subtle color.

Furniture Refresh

Sometimes you simply want to refresh your furniture. While big pieces like a couch will likely remain in your space, try switching out your accent pieces. This is a great opportunity to mix and match and try out something different. Opt for smaller, cost effective pieces that can easily be switched out to another room. Rich jewel tone colors or natural wood pieces make for great accessory pieces. Be sure to throw in an accent pillow for upmost comfort

Plush Decor

Speaking of accent pillows…load them on! Accent pillows add layers of comfort. They are the perfect accessory to curl up to on a cool night. Look for soft, woven textures with a plush hand feel. Pillows are your design opportunity to create a tie in for your design palette. Look for a mix of colors that are representative of the colors in your space. If you are focusing on a certain design style, such as bohemian or eclectic, focus your search on patterns that represent this style.
