1. Setting up the base: Walls and Floors

  • Use neutral colors for your walls. Consider warm gray, beige, or white. Keep things soft.
  • If your floors are wooden or tiled, consider adding a large, textured area rug in beige, light gray, or off-white. (Pssst, jute rugs or Moroccan-style work best).

2. Pick the right seating

  • Consider a modern, low-profile sofa in neutral colors. Try linen or cotton fabric for the perfect blend.
  • Pair that with cane or woven rattan accent chairs.

3. Layout and Coffee Table

  • Place your coffee table in front of the sofa, and add a ceramic vase with dried pampas grass, a decorative bowl, or a stack of books.
  • Oh, and hey! Keep things simple with the coffee table—wood, clean lines.

4. Decor and lighting

  • Modern floor lamps with rattan or fabric shades.
  • If you’re interested in wall art, consider hanging abstract art above the sofa.
  • Add a few potted plants in woven baskets. 

5. Final touches

  • Mix chunky knit throws with macramé and linen pillows in warm earth tones.
  • Avoid clutter
  • Use neutral linen curtains.

2. Moody Boho Living Room

This is for introverts, tranquility-seekers, romantics, free-spirited and spiritual personalities. The moody boho living room is your artistic sanctuary away from all the chaos outside, and nothing speaks ‘serenity and depth’ like rich, dark colors combined with layered, textured details.

Let’s get started!

1. The Base: Dark Walls!

  • Paint your walls deep green, charcoal, or navy to fit your preference.

2. Seating

  • Go for a velvet or leather sofa in emerald green, navy, burgundy, or any other dark, rich color.
  • Combine that with vintage or tufted armchairs.

3. Lighting and Decor

  • For floor lamps, use warm, moody bulbs.
  • If you have a very large living room, use candleholders, brass accents, and vintage mirrors to add depth.
  • Add a gallery wall and use ornate gold or black frames.
  • Remember, warm, dimmable lighting only—no harsh white lights.

4. Final Touches

  • Add a Persian or vintage-style rug in deep red, black, or navy tones.
  • For curtains, consider linen or heavy velvet.
  • Stack dark florals and antique finds on your coffee table (use old books instead for an Englishman vibe).
