Personalise Your Decor with Bohemian Cushions!

Got a lifestyle or a strong bohemian style? Want your decor to reflect your mindset? Are you inspired by hippie chic vibes?

You’ve come to the right place.

As a fan of bohemian fashion, I've also explored decor that matches this lifestyle, so I can create a home that makes me feel good 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 classic living room or bedroom into a space that truly reflects your style.

Placing various patterned cushions on a bed or in the living room can instantly make the space feel warm and inviting. When paired with other textiles like curtains, throws, and rugs, along with indoor plants and soft lighting, they help create a bohemian decor. This lifestyle, which embodies freedom and a connection to nature, is perfect for those who appreciate authenticity. Bohemian cushions can serve as a great starting point for personalising the decor in your bedroom, living room, or even your converted van.

How to Identify Bohemian Cushions?

As I have mentioned on this blog before, the bohemian chic style is not just a fashion trend. It also represents a whole lifestyle, with a strong emphasis on interior decoration. Like bohemian fashion, the decor focuses on natural materials and colours.

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

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

👉 To create a cozy cocoon effect, I recommend that you add plenty of cushions in different colours and patterns, whether it's on your bed, in your living room, or even in a converted van, for example.

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:

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

👉 Looking to create a warm ambiance for an outdoor event, like a rustic wedding or a bohemian-themed gathering? By placing plenty of rugs and bohemian cushions on the ground, you’ll set up a cozy little paradise for your guests!

What décor goes well with 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'll feel comfortable. Are you drawn to boho style and the values of nature and freedom it represents? Then let’s explore in the following sections how to create a personalised interior decor, using bohemian cushions and other decorative items.

Colourful Throws and Blankets

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

Rugs

When I get home after a long day at work, the first thing I do is take off my shoes so I can relax. If you're the same, consider adding lots of colourful rugs on the floor, especially in places where they are less likely to get dirty like the living room, bedroom, etc. Many people think that one rug is enough, but the bohemian trend thrives on mixing patterns and colours: several small, varied rugs that complement each other can create a lovely visual effect.

Wall Hangings

Just like carpets, throws, and cushions, colourful tapestries add vibrance and warmth to a room. They also evoke the lifestyle of hippies, who in the 1970s, decorated their homes and converted vans with these tapestries. The patterns were often inspired by their psychedelic travels and could be created using the tie-dye technique.

Indoor Plants

In recent years, indoor plants have become very trendy, allowing 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 several of them, in various sizes, near your sofa, so you can enjoy their presence while you recline against your cushions. There's nothing quite like it for relaxation!

Dimmed lights

The way lighting is arranged greatly influences how we feel when we step into a home. For instance, a very bright ceiling light as the only source can be blinding and, over time, quite uncomfortable when you're trying to relax. To fully enjoy your relaxation moments (like napping, watching TV, etc.), I recommend using fairy lights and indirect lighting to decorate your home, creating a cozy and warm atmosphere.

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

Crafted Trinkets Filled with History

It’s often said that the way a person decorates and arranges their home is a reflection of their personality and story. I truly believe in this idea, and I encourage you to decorate your home with items that have meaning to you, that tell a story. These can be travel souvenirs, family heirlooms, or handcrafted and artistic creations… The important thing 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 necessarily available everywhere. You might sometimes find them in home decor stores, but you're likely to come across the same designs all the time.

To personalise your decor, I recommend checking out flea markets and thrift shops, as they offer a chance to find unique items. However, if you prefer not to wait, if you're looking for new cushions, or if you're simply seeking inspiration, feel free to visit our online store now to explore our bohemian cushions. We offer unique designs that are perfect for adding a touch of hippie chic style to your home.

How to Embroider Your Own Bohemian Cushion?

Thinking of trying your hand at embroidery to customise your cushions or blankets, just like the hippies? Here's a short video tutorial 🎬 that covers the techniques for creating the main stitches:

To do this DIY project, I recommend using embroidery cotton and cushions made from checkered fabric, which you can find at craft stores or directly in home decor shops. Decide on the pattern you want to embroider in advance, print it out or draw it to scale, so you can follow the design while you stitch. 😉

Vanlife Trend: Boho Cushions to Personalise Your Van

Currently on the rise, nomadic lifestyles embody the spirit of travel and freedom. These lifestyle changes are leading many people to convert their own camper vans, tiny houses, or customised vans. Characterised by their minimalist approach, these mobile homes can still be personalised with useful items like cushions, the patterns and colours of which will enhance the living environment of these contemporary free spirits!

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