Eclectic Bohemian Dining Room Plans Going Forward

January 10, 2017 by CORINNA HENDERSON

It’s New Year New Room Refresh Challenge time and I am so freaking excited. If you’ve been around for a minute or two here, you’ll know I’ve started and stopped my dining room project more than a couple of times. I finally, finally have a clear vision for the space and it’s happened perfectly in time for this challenge hosted by Casa Watkins Living. Envision a bohemian space with tropical and global elements woven throughout. The image in my head is perfect. And seeing it here in the design board has me giddy. Plants, pinks, wicker- what’s not to love?

As with any space in my home, I like to have a little nod to the home itself. It’s a 1950’s build brick ranch, so I’ve opted to bring in a couple of midcentury pieces. I like to balance the stiffness of mid century with the casual vibes wicker furniture has. On top of those two elements, I’m a summer loving, self proclaimed crazy plant lady. It was natural to let a bit of that slip into the space with the color scheme and fabulously tropical wallpaper. As always, my undying love for the mediterranean, middle east and south asian has an influence in the pieces I gravitate towards. Here’s the design board:

Retro Inspired Bohemian $1000 Living Room Design

October 3, 2016 by CORINNA HENDERSON

This $1,000 budget living room makeover features one of the more expensive sofas from my favorite sofas under $500. Especially since at the time I’m pulling this mood board together, it’s no longer under $500. It’s still a neat sofa and I love the retro inspired shape. I wanted to try my hand and designing a Bohemian space around it anyways, smaller budget be damned. Today’s sofa is the Remark Sofa from All Modern. And this design is called “Retro Inspired Bohemian.”

I think the trick to making retro bohemian work is putting less emphasis on global elements and more focus on vintage. Ideally you’d want to find some of your furniture or lighting second hand. You’ll likely save some moolah and authentic vintage is always better than replicated. Funky art, unique textiles and furniture that nods to vintage styles brings this retro inspired bohemian room together.

I personally would use the remainder in the budget to paint the wall a funky teal color. But you can do whatever you want, save the $24 or spend it. It’s up to you!

Gypsy Maximalist $1000 Living Room E-Design

The third sofa I’m tackling for my 6 favorite sofas under $500 is the Solstice Sofa. Originally on sale for $424, at the time I’m compiling this mood board and posting this post, the price is $383 so that’s what I’ve allocated within the $1000 budget for this room design. This space is maxed out with colors, patterns and textures. Yes, even under a grand, you can get a space that’s rich in gypsy bohemian style. I chose to pair the orange sofa with purples, pinks and greens. But luckily, if you aren’t that bold, the sofa also comes in other colors. I do quite like this one a lot though.

$1000 Bohemian Living Room Design

August 29, 2016 by CORINNA HENDERSON

As promised, I’m sharing a mood board for one of the 6 favorite sofas under $500 I shared last week. I’m going to start with one that Isn’t challenging color-wise, but rather the style itself may not be an obvious one to decorate boho with. Tufting and two toned piping and cushion fabric lends itself more to a shabby chic or modern space. Let’s virtually decorate a space shall we?
