Personalise Your Decor with Boho Cushions!

Do you have a lifestyle or a bohemian style? Would you like your decor to reflect your mindset? Is the hippie chic style inspiring you?

You’ve come to the right place.

As someone who loves bohemian fashion, I've also taken an interest in decor that complements this lifestyle, so I can create a home that feels right for me and reflects my tastes.

Today, I'm excited to share with you a simple tip to add a boho chic vibe to your home: bohemian cushions! With just a few cushions, you can transform a traditional living room or bedroom into a space that truly reflects your personality.

Placing an assortment of cushions with different patterns on a bed or in a living room can instantly make the space feel inviting and comfortable. When paired with other furnishings such as drapes, throws, and rugs, along with indoor plants and soft lighting, they help to create a bohemian-inspired interior. This style, synonymous with freedom and a return to nature, is perfect for those who value authenticity. Bohemian cushions can serve as the starting point for a personalised décor in your bedroom, living room, or even your converted van.

How to Identify Bohemian Cushions?

As I've mentioned on this blog before, the bohemian chic style is more than just a fashion trend. It also reflects a whole way of life, which places a strong emphasis on interior décor. Just like bohemian fashion, home décor favours natural materials and tones.

Thus, cushions, which add comfort and softness to every room in the house, are a simple way to express your personality through your home decor. Boho cushions are characterised by:

• bright colours,
• traditional fabrics (linen, cotton, etc.),
• varied and colourful patterns reminiscent of hippie aesthetics,
• diverse textures…

👉 To create the feel of a genuine cocoon, I recommend adding plenty of cushions in various colours and patterns, whether on your bed, in your living room, or even in other spaces like a converted van, for instance.

Do these types of cushions suit you?

Are you interested in bohemian decor? If so, adding cushions in this style to your home is a great way to start, especially if:

• Are you looking for a simple and affordable solution to decorate your living room?
• Do you want some cushions to support your back while reading or watching TV in bed?
• Do you love colourful and personalised decor?
• Would you like your home to reflect your style and your lifestyle close to nature 🌿…

👉 Are you looking to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for an outdoor event, like a rustic wedding or a bohemian-themed gathering? By laying down plenty of rugs and bohemian cushions on the ground, you'll create a little paradise of comfort for your guests!

What decor goes well with them for a bohemian living room or bedroom?

Personalising a home doesn't happen overnight: it's about creating a space that reflects who you are and where you'll feel comfortable. Are you drawn to the boho style and the values of nature and freedom it embodies? Then let me show you, in the following lines, how to create a customised interior décor using bohemian cushions and other decorative items.

Colourful Throws and Blankets

As I mentioned, cushions provide immediate comfort to a space. However, to truly feel at home and enjoy genuine moments of relaxation, it's essential to never feel cold. To achieve this, you can also drape throws over your sofa and add bedspreads in your bedroom. When paired with cushions, they instantly create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your room.

Rugs

When I get home after a long day at work, the first thing I do is kick off my shoes so I can unwind. If you do the same, consider laying down some vibrant rugs on the floor, especially in areas where they’re less likely to get dirty, such as the living room and bedroom. Many people think one rug is enough, but the bohemian style is all about mixing patterns and colours: a collection of smaller, diverse rugs that complement each other can create a stunning visual effect.

Wall Hangings

Like rugs, throws, and cushions, vibrant tapestries add colour and a sense of comfort to a room. They also evoke the lifestyle of hippies, who, back in the 1970s, adorned their homes or converted vans with tapestries. The patterns on these tapestries were inspired by their psychedelic journeys and could be created using the tie-dye technique.

Indoor Plants

Incredibly trendy in recent years, indoor plants allow you to bring nature into your home and enjoy its benefits. Their green colour is soothing, and they help create a pleasant atmosphere. You can place multiple plants of various sizes near your couch, so you can enjoy them while you’re settled against your cushions. There's nothing better for unwinding!

Dimmed lights

The way lights are positioned significantly affects how we feel when entering a home. For instance, a very bright ceiling light as the only source can be dazzling and, over time, quite uncomfortable when you want to unwind in peace. To fully enjoy your relaxation moments (like naps, evenings in front of the TV, etc.), I recommend using fairy lights and indirect lighting to decorate your home, creating a cosy and warm atmosphere.

👉 If you come across some lovely branches during your walks in the forest (or even driftwood at the beach), don’t hesitate to collect them to wrap your garlands around. The result will be wonderfully bohemian, adding both practicality and beauty to your home.

Handcrafted Keepsakes Rich in History

It’s often said that the way someone decorates and arranges their home is a reflection of their personality and history. I tend to agree with this sentiment, and I encourage you to decorate your home with items that hold significance for you and have a story. This could include travel souvenirs, heirlooms from your family, or handmade and artistic creations… The key is that you feel at home when you look around you.

Where to Find Bohemian Cushions?

This type of cushion, which is quite unique, isn’t always easy to find. Occasionally, you might come across them in decorating stores, but you’ll likely keep seeing the same designs.

To personalise your decor, I recommend checking out garage sales and flea markets, which are great for finding unique items. However, if you don't want to wait, prefer new cushions, or are simply looking for inspiration, I suggest heading over to our online store right now to explore our bohemian cushions. We offer unique designs that will perfectly add a touch of hippie chic to your home.

How to Embroider Your Own Bohemian Cushion?

Are you keen to give embroidery a go to customise your cushions or throws, just like the hippies? Here’s a quick video tutorial 🎬 that covers the techniques used to master the basic stitches:

For this DIY project, I recommend using embroidery cotton and cushions made from a checked fabric, which you can find at craft stores or directly in home decor shops. Decide in advance on the pattern you want to embroidery, print it out or draw it to scale so you can use it as a guide while you stitch. 😉

Vanlife Trend: Boho Cushions to Personalise Your Van

Currently on the rise, nomadic lifestyles perfectly embody the bohemian spirit of travel and freedom. These lifestyle changes are prompting many people to convert their own campervans, tiny houses, or converted vans. Characterised by their minimalism, these mobile homes can still be personalised with practical items like cushions, whose patterns and colours will enhance the living environment of these modern-day hippies!

I hope this article has inspired you to decorate your living space with bohemian cushions, creating a welcoming place where you feel comfortable. 🏡
