Let’s talk about boho home decor…

We need space to relax and rejuvenate! If you’re looking for easy interior design tips to transform your home into a haven of tranquility, you’ve come to the right place!

Declutter For Zen Vibes

Hey the first interior design tips is 100% free! Clean out that clutter…ok maybe if you have the amount of clutter that warrants a dumpster this one isn’t free, but if you do have that amount of clutter you’ve got bigger fish to fry than a little redesign. Anyhoo, start decluttering by attacking one room, or even corner at a time. Divide things into keep, donate, recycle, and toss. You’ll be amazed at how a clutter-free environment can bring an instant sense of calm and serenity, and you’ve got a clean slate for staring the boho home of your dreams.

Pick Soothing Colors

Color can be a powerful tool in creating a relaxing atmosphere. Opt for soft, muted hues like soothing blues, gentle greens, or serene neutrals. These shades evoke a sense of tranquility and can help you unwind after a long day. Add pops of color if you’d like with decorative accents like throw pillows and artwork to personalize your space.

The Magic Of Natural Light

Sunlight is the ultimate mood booster, science says so! Maximize natural light in your home by keeping curtains and/blinds open during the day. If privacy is a concern, try sheer curtains that allow sunlight to filter through. Natural light not only creates an inviting ambiance, but it also provides a healthy does of vitamin D and boosts your overall well-being.

Play With Textures

Texture is the secret ingredient to a cozy and inviting sanctuary. Layer soft, plush rugs on hardwood floors, drape a chunky knit throw over your favorite reading chair, and swap our rough fabrics for luxurious ones like velvet or silk. Play with different textures to create a tactile experience that instantly calms the sense.

Bring Nature Indoors

This is my personal favorite because I’m a plant and crystal girlie, and nothing says “boho home” like bringing a little outside in.. Introducing elements of nature into your home can bring a sense of peace and tranquility. Add a touch of greenery with houseplants like succulents or ferns. They not only help purify the air, but they also bring a metaphorical breath of fresh air to your space. If you have the room you can create a serene indoor garden or meditation corner with cozy floor cushion and even a tabletop water fountain.

Optimize Mindful Design For Relaxation

Consider the layout and arrangement of your furniture with relaxation in mind. Create a cozy nook for reading or sipping tea, arrange seating areas to encourage conversation and connection. Incorporate elements that promote mindfulness, such as a mediation corner or dedicated space for yoga. Your home can be a reflection of your journey for inner peace.

Tie It All Together With Aromatherapy

Last but certainly not least, embrace the power of scent! Essential oils (not the MLM ones though please) and candles can work wonders in creating a relaxing ambiance. Lavender, chamomile, and eucalyptus are known for their calming properties. Invest in a diffuser or light some scented candles to infuse your space with soothing fragrances that transport you to a state of pure bliss.

With these easy and inexpensive (or at least easy-ish and inexpensive-ish) tips you’re well on your way to creating a relaxing home sanctuary. It’s all about nurturing your well-being and finding solace in the comfort in your own space. So go ahead, take a deep breath, and relax in your refreshed boho home.

I’d love to know what you do to make your space cozy and serene!
