Inside a summer-ready boho-chic living room (with a very Indian twist!)

By Tanya Siquiria

Here’s plenty of easy eclectic inspiration for your next living room redesign

Inside a summer-ready Boho chic living room (with a very Indian twist!) While pops of luxurious velvet make this space plush, add the dhurrie and the cane Papasan chair and it’s also space where you can kick back and feel right at home.

Bohemian spaces are open, inviting, and full of personality. And putting an Indian spin on the idea seemed like a fun challenge we couldn’t resist.

Everything about this look is meant to seem effortless, so tap into that chill vibe by picking pieces of furniture like a futon that converts into a daybed or Papasan seating that wraps around you for a quiet reading nook. Balance the look by tempering the vibrant colours and multicoloured upholstery with sheer curtains and textured white walls.

Get smart with the way you work in the ethnic Indian touches using collectables and art. Dot the room with subtle visual symbols - like roses and a brass kettle in this case - and work towards creating a look that's decidedly Indian. Perhaps the easiest way to cultivate a genuinely relaxed vibe is to soften the audacious with much-needed natural elements. We kept things light with distressed wood and cane furniture, matched the multi-coloured upholstery and a woven rug with plenty of fresh flowers and greenery.

More than anything else, bohemian spaces will always have these things in common - being somewhat unconventional, exuding a lived-in charm and staying very, very personal.
