    Boho is truly extraordinary. You will fall in love with this style at first sight. He conquers with his ability to create a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. nine0003

    A distinctive feature of the gypsy style is the absence of restrictions. No limits, no restrictions. This is a great opportunity to unleash your creativity and show creativity.

    Components

    First, let's look at the basic elements of Bohemian design. Most likely, after reading the article and viewing the photo, you will be haunted by an obsessive desire to make repairs in this style.

    Colors

    This is exactly the case when there are no rules in choosing a color. Don't limit yourself, challenge yourself. Add bright colors, mix colors you can't imagine! Are you an artist. And your kitchen is a canvas that turns into an amazing painting with every stroke of the brush! nine0003

    Handmade

    These handmade items are the perfect addition to your bohemian kitchen. Handmade products made with love will emphasize the creative nature of the hostess of the house.

    Ethnic motifs

    Gypsy style ethnic style is a direct reference to the culture and traditions of different countries. This technique in interior design is in perfect harmony with the boho style. Retro ornaments and patterns will add a vintage vibe to the room. nine0003

    Aged furniture

    If you have been thinking about throwing away old furniture for a long time, believing that it is no good, you are mistaken. Vintage headset is the basis of the bohemian style, so do not rush to get rid of the rarity.

    See also: How to fit an old sideboard into a modern interior?

    See, here is a use for your antique furniture! By the way, you can make an antique table or chairs yourself. All you need is special paint, brushes, sandpaper and craquelure varnish. The process is very exciting! nine0003

    See also:

    Do-it-yourself patina on wood and furniture: detailed technology stitched together scraps of fabric to end up with a whole canvas? Now you will know that this technology is called patchwork, and not a waste of time😊 A handmade blanket or rug looks very interesting. nine0003

    But this type of design is not limited to needlework. In the patchwork style, you can even decorate the tiles in the kitchen. A variety of colors, rhythms and patterns dilute the minimalist interior and add dynamism to it.

    Sustainability

    Stop using artificial materials such as plastic or glass in interior design. Wooden and wicker elements, natural fabrics and ceramics will be a great alternative.

    This step, of course, means taking care of nature. But it also makes it possible to get as close as possible to the boho style. nine0003

    Contrasts

    In a home improvement store, we usually try to find decor that matches our room. Forget about it! Gypsy style is based on contrasts and non-standard solutions. This also applies to flowers and furniture.

    Don't be afraid that some detail will not fit into the situation. Now every element in your kitchen is unique and tells its own story.

    Open shelves

    As you can see, any bohemian-style kitchen uses only open shelves. nine0003

    Are all the kitchen utensils on display? Yes it is. Such storage systems to some extent demonstrate a slight clutter, which is a hallmark of boho.

    Textured chandeliers

    There are so many options for boho style lamps that it is really difficult to choose. Focus on lace or macramé patterns, textile lampshades, Moroccan and oriental motifs.

    Greens in pots

    It should be noted that the boho style implies the presence of indoor plants. Yes, lots of plants! And this is a real paradise for gardeners and botanists. Greenery perfectly complements the room, and besides, it looks organic. nine0003

    How to create a boho-chic kitchen interior?

    You've covered the basics and now it's time to move on to interior design. In fact, it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

    We have prepared a step-by-step guide for you. With our help, in just 5 steps, you can turn an ordinary kitchen into a work of art.

    Step 1. Decide on the furniture

    Furniture is the main component of any interior. After all, it is impossible to imagine a room where there is not even a chair, right? 🙂

    Therefore, before starting the repair, decide on the furniture. If you carefully read the article, you already know that aged furniture is welcomed in the bohemian style, which adds charm and a touch of nostalgia to the interior.

    It is worth remembering that furniture from one set will not look good in this case.

    But different forms and materials will dilute the atmosphere with their originality. The main thing is that it was convenient to use such a headset, because boho-rustic means comfort. For example, we attach pictures so that it is clear what we mean. nine0003

    Step 2. Decorating the walls

    Decorating the room means beautifully decorating the walls of the kitchen. There are several ways how this can be done. In addition to the original painting or decorative plaster of various shapes, the walls are usually covered with wallpaper or ceramic tiles.

    Wallcoverings

    Wallpapers, like other elements of the kitchen, can be dominated by animal prints, ethnic motifs or patterns, even personal photographs. This is an optional condition, so the usual bright wallpaper is quite acceptable. nine0003

    Apron

    Look how interesting and original the kitchen apron looks in these photos. Ceramic tiles with ethnic and patchwork ornaments already known to you will wonderfully harmonize with the interior. You can follow the example provided and create the same apron in your kitchen, without forgetting to add a touch of personality.

    Step 3. We select plumbing

    Exquisite and expensive plumbing not only looks sophisticated, but it is also very high quality. Pay attention to gold, copper or bronze fittings. But shiny chrome is better left to lovers of modernism. nine0003

    Step 4. Let there be light!

    The role of light is important in every interior. Too much or too little of it can ruin everything. That's why it's so important to maintain balance. You are faced with a responsible task - to choose lighting that will not put pressure on the eyes.

    We advise you to look at lamps with fabric shades or rice paper. They will create a soft, calm glow. Daylight needs to enter the room in plenty, which is why your kitchen needs large windows. nine0003

    Step 5. Connect accessories and decor

    It's time to think about decorating the room. The choice of accessories for the kitchen is a great pleasure. It is thanks to the decor that the atmosphere of warmth and comfort is felt. Let's look at what attributes will look good in a gypsy-style room.

    Textiles

    Without textiles, your bohemian kitchen will definitely look unfinished - and thoughts will often arise in your head that something is clearly missing. Even if you now thought that textiles in the kitchen are practically not used, we hasten to convince you. nine0003

    Knitted placemats, colorful tablecloths, patchwork bedspreads, ottomans, neat slipcovers for vintage furniture, curtains or curtains, and soft rugs are all must-have items on your shopping list.

    Paintings

    Collages of your favorite photos or paintings will perfectly demonstrate your creativity and sense of taste. Alternatively, you can draw a picture on the wall of the room. This decor will definitely not go unnoticed!

    Crockery

    Important milestones in the transformation of the kitchen are behind us. The final step is the selection of dishes. You remember that boho-rustic means open shelves with household utensils, so dishes need to be given special attention. Everything here is up to you - but plates with decor should be a priority.

    This is the end of the instructions. You have received and mastered the most necessary knowledge for remodeling the kitchen. But don't rush to leave, we still have a bonus for you! Scroll below to learn important information and understand the bohemian style at 100%! nine0003

    Scandi-boho new trend

    The combination of two styles always looks fresh and stylish. More recently, a variation of the gypsy style has appeared, which the designers called scandi-boho. There are a few key points to remember in order to correctly convey your idea and create a cozy atmosphere.

    When white Scandinavian walls get boring, boho comes into play. So, neutral colors are best avoided. Contrasting combinations and bright shades will be an ideal replacement. And accessories will perfectly cope with the task of revitalizing and diversifying minimalism. Of course, we will not leave you without pictures, so take note and be inspired. nine0003

    Is it possible to make boho-chic in Khrushchev?

    Perhaps this is one of the first questions that I want to ask. After all, not everyone has a huge budget to start a grand renovation. The fear that there is not enough money, or the apartment is too small, can lead to negative thoughts and make you give up without even trying.

    Let's analyze whether it is possible to create a boho kitchen in Khrushchev:

    1. The basis of the boho style is vintage furniture, which means that it is not necessary to buy a new one.
    2. Accessories and textiles can be easily made by hand, which will significantly reduce your spending on decorating a room.
    3. Potted plants and retro items can be found at the flea market instead of buying expensive antiques in stores.

    We hope we were convincing and were able to convey that boho-chic is not a luxury of the rich, but quite an affordable opportunity for every family. So keep it up! nine0003

    Conclusion

    A boho-style kitchen is unique and inimitable. It seems that there is a mess around - but no, everything is under control. Relax, it was meant to be. You may think that this is a real chaos. Yes, you are right, but it is you who control the situation!

    What is the Feature of Bohemian Style? (Kitchen Styles)


    If we turn to the term “boho”, we will get a completely understandable translation from French: “bohème” - bohemia or gypsy. On the territory of modern Bohemia, there was once an area called Bohemia, where in the Middle Ages a huge number of gypsies lived, whom the French called Bohemians (bohémiens). What was characteristic of the gypsies of this area? The same as for the modern man of this nation: a nomadic and free way of life, bright multi-layered clothes, antiques in endless quantities, nomadic with their owners. And since in the 17th century the same poor people of art (musicians, artists, poets) often lived in poor Bohemia, the image of the gypsies directly influenced the work they created. nine0003 Gypsy motifs in the style of BOHO

    Features of the boho style

    Seeing the boho style in the interior of the kitchen for the first time, almost everyone evokes the following associations: exotic, non-standard, excessive brightness, chaos. According to the representation of this style in the design of the room, its owner can be characterized as a freedom-loving person who loves travel, freedom and various little things, most often incompatible with each other. Despite its “crazyness” in the good sense of the word, bohemianism is not created to weigh down or strain the kitchen with colorful decor collected from all over the world - the style looks quite harmonious, authentic. You just need to be careful with it. In this case, it is not necessary to contact the services of a professional designer. Having studied photos of real kitchens posted on the Internet, you can create a unique style that is unusual for most people. What is its feature? nine0003

    Boho style: variety of colors, touch of antiquity and numerous decorations

    Combination with other styles more popular in Europe than in Russia. And while the Europeans are gradually “gorging themselves” on this style, for a Russian person, bohemianism is still something fresh, new, interesting, exotic.

    The main feature of creating a bohemian-style kitchen is that it perfectly "overlays" an existing style - boho does not need to be created from scratch. The classical style with the participation of bohemia will become more “soft”, having lost excessive severity. Retro style also goes well with boho - they are literally made for each other. Another successful partner for bohemia is the Scandinavian style, with which he has a lot in common. And let's talk about this in a little more detail. nine0003

    Originally a very catchy style, boho existed as an independent style in the distant past. But since the 2000s, its “transformation” has taken place: bohemianism has merged with the most concise, calm, simple, but very popular modern style - Scandinavian. The white scandi base perfectly smooths out the color “aggression” of boho, giving the new style individuality and taste. As you can see in the photo below, bohemia can be quite a restrained style, the main presence in the kitchen of various ornaments, wicker things, hanging chairs, carpets is what characterizes boho. nine0003

    An example of a restrained kitchen: boho and Scandinavian style

    Furniture

    For those who, during the renovation or simple transformation of the kitchen, are not ready to get rid of old furniture, but at the same time prefer to bring something new into the interior, modern, bohemia will be a good option to combine everything in one space. Yes Yes! Old furniture combined with new - this is typical of the boho style! And the older the texture of the furniture, the better. The main thing is to create coziness and convenience that can turn off the mind from the hustle and bustle. nine0003

    floor cushions made of soft materials, pouffes and other low, wide furniture are perfect as a place to relax. Of course, such spacious furniture is better suited for a large kitchen or kitchen-living room. Furniture can have wicker or wooden bases, and on them lay blankets with beautiful large knitting, pillows of different textures brought from different countries - beauty, as always, is in the details.

    Boho-style kitchen-living room: pillows of different textures and carpets

    Decor

    Boho is not always a riot of colors, although it fully characterizes this style. As we wrote above, if there is no desire to make a multi-color rainbow out of the kitchen, you can turn to a more restrained option: it is enough to place decor with ethnic ornaments, patterns of African tribes, with different geometries, etc. in a calm Scandi kitchen. If the soul requires a holiday, then you should choose the following popular bohemian colors: olive, terracotta, mustard yellow, calm blue, vintage shades, that is, pastel, but muted and slightly dirty. The classic colors of the bohemian style are presented in the following photo:

    Classic boho chic colors

    Material

    In recent years, designers have preferred to work with ecological, natural materials, and boho is happy to support this trend. Bohemia loves sisal material - a natural coarse fiber obtained from agave leaves. It can be a sisal carpet, and carpets in the kitchen are a very real story, described in detail in our article “Carpet in the kitchen: either For or Against. There is no third!". The layering of carpets is also appropriate: carpets of different sizes, patterns, materials can be roughly thrown on top of each other. nine0003

    Moroccan or Persian rugs will be a gem in any bohemian style kitchen. But remember: the cost of such carpets is very high.

    Carpet in the kitchen boho

    Bohemia also loves wicker, straw, rattan things. And we are talking not only about chairs, armchairs and other furniture, which we have already talked about. This list can be continued, remembering wicker lamps, including hand-made ones, flower vases, baskets, which have been gaining popularity lately. At the same time, the size and number of baskets can be unlimited, and the pattern of each can be unique. nine0003 Wicker furniture in a discreet boho style kitchen

    Do not forget about such decor element as macramé , which was so popular during our childhood.

    There is never too much macrame in a boho style kitchen. Moreover, the designers add: the more of this decor in the room, the better.

    Macrame gives the kitchen airiness, fullness, home comfort and, of course, antiquity. Dust collector, as many people think? Perhaps. But everyone has the right to choose or not to choose a bohemian style for themselves. nine0003

    Fringe of different lengths, for example, from 5 to 30 cm, can decorate both upholstered furniture (puffs) and frame furniture (chest of drawers), as well as lamps. A wall panel, hanging baskets, lamps and even a curtain can be made from macrame, as shown in the photo below. Fantasy has no limits!

    Macrame Curtain is great for boho style

    Clay is another natural material that feels great in our style. Numerous shades of clay best repeat the main colors inherent in boho. Clay can be figurines, pots, including those with a unique painting, coasters for various kitchen utensils, plates, dishes and other products. Clay pots can also be large, standing on the floor for decoration. nine0003 Kitchen design in boho style with numerous clay items

    Almost everything is used for small decor: colored beads of various sizes, fringe-tassels, Moroccan metal lamps, long lumbar pillows and even fur capes, as if accidentally thrown on the back of chairs or armchairs. The combination of incongruous - this is how boho can be characterized. In what other style can all of the above fit in one room? Look at the photo below:

    Combination of incongruous in boho style

    Texture

    Boho seems to embrace the immensity, combining the features of Moroccan, Indian, Latin American styles, African tribes, Scandinavian and Slavic folklore. We have already said that one of the features of the style is the presence of all kinds of prints of ethnic origin. But for bohemia, texture is also important, with which it can be compared with the shabby chic style: silk and roughness, natural weaving and fluffy fur, coarse fibers and soft velvet surfaces, embroidery and knitting. nine0003 A discreet boho style kitchen

    Greenery

    Bohemian style loves light, so designers often ditch tulle on windows in favor of barely noticeable curtains. This is also done so that the natural greenery, placed in all corners of the room, rages at any time. By the way, a large number of plants that turn the kitchen into a jungle, as well as ampelous greens that create a unique green vertical, are characteristic of boho.

    There is never too much greenery for boho style

    Floor

    We have already talked about a lot, and we already have an idea about the bohemian style. It's time to say a few words about the flooring. Designers do not recommend laying laminate in the kitchen in a boho style, it is better to prefer parquet or parquet board. This option will be more expensive, but in texture and pattern it is closer to this style.

    It is also better not to give preference to gloss and “perfect wood pattern”. Do not forget: the more shabby and shabby the interior turns out to be, the better the bohemian style is emphasized. nine0003 Shabby floors accentuate the boho style

    Walls

    We already know that the ideal “companion” of boho is the Scandinavian style, characterized mainly by white, light, solid colors. Therefore, calm boho is the presence of white walls in the kitchen, most often finished “under plaster”. On a neutral wall, bright decor looks best in the form of, for example, a carpet with bright ornaments or geometric patterns, as well as hand-made paintings.
