What is Modern Boho Decor Style?
You may be wondering, “well, what in the heck is modern boho?” The modern boho style is also referred to as urban boho or boho chic.
First of all, here’s some background. “Boho” is short of bohemian, which refers to the “free spirit” generation of gypsies and hippy culture of the 50’s-70’s. Traditionally, the boho home decor style featured macrame, rattan, and brightly colored textiles and was very eclectic.
There’s been a big resurgence of the boho style and it’s taken a modern twist. We are now seeing elements of the boho home decor style stick around with vintage-looking prints and patterns, global accents, and casual, laid-back style. The modern twist on the “modern boho” style is to pair it with sleek lines, modern furniture, a more muted color palette, and even geometric patterns.
Why I Love Modern Boho Decor for Our Home
In our home, I’ve been finding myself drawn to the modern boho style more and more…which I think is reflected in our master bedroom reveal especially.
I love mixing modern and boho styles because it gives me the freedom to bring in more modern elements without making my home feel too contemporary.
10 Elements of the Modern Boho Decor Style
- Light and airy
- Furniture with clean and modern lines
- High contrast neutral color schemes (black and white)
- Light wood tones
- Bring in the natural vibes with real and faux plants
- Woven texture with rattan and cane furniture and wicker baskets (including basket walls like this)
- Interesting patterns (geometric, southwestern/Aztec, or vintage styles are popular in this modern boho decor style)
- Occasional bold paint colors and accent walls
- Incorporation of abstract shapes (like these painted arches)
- Lots of cozy textures with the use of throw pillows, blankets, layered boho rugs and woven wall hangings
