The Essence of Bohemian Eclectic Style

At its core, Bohemian style is naturally eclectic. This style was founded in Paris in the middle to late 19th century by nomadic artists and performers. These individuals had a unique perspective on the world as a whole with their wide travels and free-spirits, and so these attributes came across in boho style. Boho style can sometimes feel “hodge-podge” or eclectic because it gathers art, furniture, and other accents from all over the world to suit the home owner’s unique style. Because each person is so unique, every eclectic bohemian home is incredibly different from other spaces that fall into the exact same style and design philosophies.

Key Characteristics of Bohemian Eclectic Decor

Bohemian eclectic style isn’t concerned about matching or following conventional design principles. If a piece of art, furniture, or decor speaks to you, then you are encouraged to add it to your home. That means that you will often have plenty of colors, patterns, and textiles mixed throughout the space as a whole. It is also common to include vintage, modern, and global finishes/furniture to round out the room’s unique and “found” design. 

Even with all these eclectic, unconventional pieces of decor, bohemian eclectic style does have other goals aside from expressing the homeowner’s individuality; these homes should be crafted to be cozy, welcoming, and inviting for you and any guests. That means that furniture and fabrics shouldn’t just be beautiful; they must be comfortable as well.

Color Palettes and Materials

Because bohemian eclectic styles are so artistic, you’ll find that vibrant colors and accents are a key part of the aesthetic. Teals, greens, and deep reds are three examples of popular accent colors used in different fabrics and textiles in eclectic bohemian homes. How far you lean into those colors is up to you, but aside from highlighting these accents, boho style often uses neutral and earth tones as the base of the style to highlight nature and freeing outdoor settings. Natural materials like wood, rattan, and metals are frequently incorporated for the same reasons; there is no greater freedom in travel and exploring the world, especially the outdoors.

Mixing Patterns and Textures

The tricky (and freeing) part of Bohemian eclectic style is that you’re encouraged to use different patterns, textures, and colors throughout the room. This means that instead of buying matching sets, you should gradually assemble your room with patterns and textiles that speak to you. Even so, it’s important to have some unifying elements throughout the room’s primary patterns and textures so that the room still feels intentionally designed and not too scattered. Consider focusing patterns on different geometric shapes and lines, or use floral motifs throughout the room’s art and pillows. Even if the designs differ, the use of a consistent theme will help create the balance necessary for an effective boho eclectic space.

Furniture and Layout

First and foremost, your furniture should be comfortable, since this style is crafted to be warm and welcoming. The furniture should also be placed to encourage conversation, comfort, and creative inspiration. After that, you have the creative freedom to choose furniture that suits your unique brand of bohemian eclectic style. You may lean into purely vintage armchairs and sofas, or you may create a collection of seats from different eras and countries. SInce this style is highly personal, you can choose furniture that speaks specifically to you.

Incorporating Art and Cultural Elements

Art is a key component of eclectic bohemian interior design’s principles and accents. Typically, artwork and accents are handmade or personally crafted to emphasize the one of a kind aesthetic of the room and the unique personality of you, the room’s designer. This is another area where you are encouraged to gradually collect artwork and pieces that tell a story or have personal significance to you.

Creating an Eclectic Gallery Wall

Gallery walls are frequently used in eclectic bohemian style, since they can show off different works of art, photographs, and wall textiles/tapestries. Some people focus on incorporating the same colors throughout the entire gallery or use similar picture frame finishes to tie it all together. Another idea is to highlight a specific theme or motif in all the artwork, such as flower fields, city streets, buildings, or general shapes. Ultimately though, there’s no need to limit yourself-- you should strive to create a cohesive design, but you should also highlight aspects and subject matters that resonate with you, no matter how diverse they may be.


Bohemian eclectic interior design style is full of potential with its deep appreciation of cultural beauty, travel, and personal expression. While you should strive to have some order in the space through recurring themes, colors, or subject matters, this style has no “right” approach. This gives you the freedom to create a wholly unique style that is reflective of your stories, experiences, and personality.
