How do I decorate my living room in a bohemian style?
My family and I are moving to a new home and never really decorated any room in our house. I am pretty sure I want to do a bohemian style for the living room any ideas.
Bohemian style is usually based on lots of ethnic elements. It is kind of a foreign gypsy look and lots of items can be bought at import stores like Pier One, Cost Plus etc. Even Target has introduced a "foreign marketplace" line of accessories that would work.
Use rich colors (no neon) and choose accessories with carving, beading, and other hand-done elements. Natural wood for the furniture & lots of unusual and artistic
accessories will help create the look.
Have fun!! Boho decorating really gives you a chance to show your artistic side!! : )

Think vintage & rich colors-
Vintage fabrics for pillows or throw, scarves for a table, and curtains.
Distressed accessories, baskets, beads over a curtain or lamp.

These canvas curtains come in many colors. If you want a more ornate look, you could choose the Sunita curtains with a touch of gold in them. Either choice would work. I like to keep the curtains plain with all the eyecatching accessories in the room.
