Personalise your decor with boho cushions!

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

You're in the right place.

As a fan of bohemian fashion, I've also been drawn to decor that matches this lifestyle, so I can create a home that feels comfortable and reflects my tastes.

Today, I’d like 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 lounge or bedroom into a space that truly reflects your personality.

Arranging various patterned cushions on a bed or in a lounge instantly makes the space feel warm and inviting. Paired with other furnishings such as curtains, throws, and rugs, as well as indoor plants and soft lighting, they help create a bohemian-inspired interior. This style, synonymous with freedom and a connection to nature, is perfect for those who value authenticity. Bohemian cushions can serve as the starting point for a personalised décor in your bedroom, lounge, or even your converted van.

How to Identify Bohemian Cushions?

As I’ve mentioned before on this blog, the boho-chic style is not just a fashion trend. It also represents a whole lifestyle, which places great emphasis on interior decoration. Just like bohemian fashion, boho décor favours natural materials and tones.

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

• vibrant 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 using plenty of cushions in a variety of colours and patterns, whether on your bed, in your living room, or even in 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 get started, especially if:

• You’re looking for a simple and cost-effective way to decorate your living room,
• You need some cushions to support your back while you read or watch TV in bed,
• You love colourful and personalised décor,
• You want your home to reflect your style and your lifestyle that is close to nature 🌿…

👉 Are you looking to create a welcoming decor for an outdoor event, such as a rustic wedding or a bohemian-themed gathering? By laying out plenty of rugs and bohemian-style cushions on the ground, you'll create a little paradise of comfort for your guests!

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

Customising a home doesn’t happen overnight: it’s about creating a space that reflects who you are and where you feel comfortable. Are you drawn to the boho style and the values of nature and freedom that it embodies? If so, I invite you to explore the following lines on how to create a personalised interior décor using bohemian cushions and other decorative items.

Colourful Throws and Blankets

As I mentioned earlier, cushions add an immediate comfort to a room. 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 combined with cushions, they instantly create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your space.

Rugs

When I get home after a day of working outdoors, the first thing I do is take off my shoes so I can relax. If you feel the same way, consider adding plenty of colourful rugs to your floors, especially in areas where they’re less likely to get dirty: the lounge, the bedroom, etc. It’s easy to think that one rug will do, but the bohemian trend is all about mixing patterns and colours: several small, varied rugs that complement each other will create a lovely visual effect.

Wall Hangings

Like rugs, throws, and cushions, colourful wall hangings add vibrancy and warmth to a room. They also evoke the lifestyle of the hippies, who in the 1970s decorated their homes or vans with similar textiles. The patterns that adorned them served as inspiration during their psychedelic travels and could be created using the tie-dye technique.

Indoor Plants

Very trendy in recent years, indoor plants allow you to bring nature into your home and enjoy its benefits. Their green colour is soothing and helps create a pleasant atmosphere. You can place several of them, in different sizes, near your couch so you can enjoy them while you’re lounging against your cushions. There's nothing like it for winding down!

Soft Lighting

The way lights are arranged can greatly influence the feeling you get when entering a home. For instance, a very bright ceiling light as the sole source of illumination can be quite harsh and, over time, rather unpleasant when you're trying to relax 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 while you’re out roaming the forest (or perhaps driftwood at the beach), don’t hesitate to pick them up and wrap your garlands around them. The result will be both practical and stunning in your home, with a beautiful bohemian touch.

Handcrafted Trinkets Full of History

It’s often said that the way a person decorates and arranges their home is a window into their personality and history. I tend to agree with this statement and encourage you to decorate your home with items that hold meaning for you, that tell a story. This could include travel souvenirs, family heirlooms, handmade or artistic creations... The key is that you should feel at home when you look around you.

Where to Find Bohemian Cushions?

This type of cushion, quite unique, can't always be found everywhere. You might occasionally come across them in homeware stores, but you might end up seeing the same designs repeatedly.

To personalise your decor, I recommend checking out garage sales and markets, where you can find unique items. However, if you prefer not to wait, if you're looking for new cushions, or if you simply want some inspiration, I invite you to visit our online shop now to explore our bohemian cushions. We offer unique patterns that will perfectly add a touch of hippie chic decor to your home.

How to Embroider Your Own Bohemian Cushion?

Are you keen to give embroidery a go to personalise your cushions or throws in a retro hippie style? Here’s a quick video tutorial 🎬 that covers the techniques used to create the main stitches:

To create this DIY project, I recommend using embroidery cotton and cushions made from checkered fabric, which you can find at haberdashery shops or directly in a décor store. Decide on the design you want to embroider in advance, print it out or draw it to scale, so you can easily reference it while stitching. 😉

Vanlife Trend: Boho Cushions to Personalise Your Van

Currently on the rise, nomadic lifestyles truly capture the bohemian spirit of travel and freedom. These lifestyle changes have led many individuals to renovate their own campervans, tiny houses, or converted vans. Marked by their minimalism, these mobile homes can still be personalised with practical items like cushions, the patterns and colours of which will enhance the living space of these contemporary wanderers!

I hope this article has inspired you to decorate your living space with bohemian cushions, creating a warm and inviting place where you feel at home. 🏡
