The Heart of the Home

People say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and they are not far from the truth. This is the place where thousands of memories take place in everybody's house- the breakfasts before school when we were kids, the family evenings over a lovely meal, the sunday panckakes, the gatehrings with friends etc.

And every kitchen has a character- it can be a sweet bright place where you cook cupcakes and desserts; it can be a rustic place, or simple and contemporary- the type where you prepare your morning bagel and the orange juice and in 5 minutes leave for work. 

But no matter whether the place has wooden floors, bricks walls, stainless-steel countertops, glass-door cabinets, bronze dishes, massive light fixtures it is the place that everyone loves. So dress it up accordingly- choose the vibe that the place will have according to your character. Bright or dark, rustic or contemporary, massive or small, does not matter. Check out those ideas grouped according to one's character and preferences.

Boho Chic

Unconventional and artistic, individual, romantic and free-spirited or in other words Bohemian. If you identify yourself with the former, read ahead and you will find many interesting ideas about how to give your place a bright new twist done in Boho style.

When we talk about Bohemian style incorporated in interior design there are no rules to abide by which makes the whole work of redecorating a place seem like a lot of fun. 

However, it is not that easy a job when it comes to trying to make the place look as you have not put any effort into decorating it. Do whatever you want with the space you have, however, have in mind the following simple tricks in order to be sure that your place is going to look Bohemian and not something else. 

Always stick to bright, saturated colors, the more colors the better. Low-level lounging areas are a trade mark for Bohemian style; they allow for comfort and tranquility. Layering is good, so pile up a couple of vibrant-colored rugs to make the floor catch the eye. The big pillows are a must have- gather several big ones in bright colors and a couple of medium-sized cushions with patchworks. You can also put one of those little roundish cushions which are exactly fitting the Bohemian vision.

Gather books and accessories from different places, the older the books look the better. Being eclectic is good but in Bohemian design you have to go one step further and make the place look as if you have just collected different materials, fabrics, accessories, metals, books, charms and put them randomly around the house. 

Dig up all the vintage things you keep in the attic- lamps, coffee tables, and paintings. Make a collage of framed prints and cover up the wall with 5 to 10 of them; it makes the wall look prettier. You can make bold and unconventional decisions and you are not restricted in any way. Be creative, mix up crystal lamps with patchwork cushions, striped rugs, floral wallpapers, metal accessories.

 Try to be messy but in the good sense. Check up some room interior ideas done in Bohemian style. And remember do not be delicate; be vast and brilliant in your choices!
