How I Decided on BohoFarmhouse Style For My Home

Since we moved into our home I have categorized my home decor style as bohemian farmhouse & here’s why: 

 When Matt & I had our first apartment I felt drawn mostly towards bohemian and minimalist decor. However, it really does matter the architecture of your home. So, since moving into our beautiful home (almost a year ago!!) I have found my style has shifted more towards farmhouse styling, mostly due to the strong wood tones of the vaulted ceilings and the large stone fireplace being the centerpiece of the living room/ main floor.  

There are many other elements in addition to architecture that can be used to determine decor styles. In my home I have added the following styles- 

Modern- specifically in abstract art (mostly from Etsy), funky modern vases (H&M Home) and other modern furniture pieces (amazon home & wayfair). 

I still strive for minimalist spaces in my home- places in my home that I try to keep a centerpiece of decor and the rest decluttered. 

Next, I have many traditional pieces of furniture that have been handed down from family & by adding those into the spaces- mostly dark wood and antique pieces it brings in a traditional home vibe. 

Without a doubt though I am drawn to bohemian spaces full of neutral colors, jute/rattan, plants and macrame. I love the texture and color of rattan specifically! Anything & everyone rattan, please!! 

I associate my style to all of the above!! 

I would say my most frequently asked question (FAQs) is “what do you do when decorating blank space?”

When I decorate I look towards a centerpiece of the room- could be a mirror, macrame piece, accent wall, gallery wall or photo frames, a desk- really anything you want to be the part of the room you see when u first walk in. 

Next, I try for a color scheme- for me it is mostly white, light grey, black, greenery (plants) light wood (golden oak, rattan colored) and rust colored orange (most recently added to my favs). 

In every space I design I add white or glass vases, real or faux plants, texture pieces, books to add height, candles everywhere and I love to add neutral photo frames . 

I recently have been adding abstract art, vases and decor to my home. I find that H&M Home has some amazing pieces that I love (I want everythingg on the site).  It is very affordable and ships quick (rare these days). 

I always find that when I go shopping for either home decor or clothing I only buy white, black and grey. So that is what my home is made up of! As well as my wardrobe (very prevalent if you watched my home tour video of my closet bedroom clothes organization)!! 

Thanks so much for reading! Feel free to ask any questions on here or in my DMs!! come back next week! I will be sharing a funny story for our one year house anniversary!!! 

Much love,
