The Black and White Pillow: My Top 12

the-black-and-white-pillow-my-top-12

I just love a black and white pillow! Black and white is a colour scheme that is a classic. If you have been following me on any on my socials you will have noticed that it’s my latest obsession. I have been making updates in my own home – especially the family room and I have added some great neutral pieces with contrast (tiles and pillows) to my room design. I’m waiting on orders to arrive but I wanted to share with you some of my inspiration and some great finds.

This living room loom really inspired my plan for my family room – which I’m so excited about. What I love about this look is the neutral scheme (of course) but the mix of the textures and the prints. I love the boho elements of texture and tassels, too! The look and feel of mudcloth has always been a favourite of mine. The pattern rug with the neutral sofa and walls with the mix of pattern pillows is the look I am going for in my space!

Shop pillows

I have found some amazing deals on pillows and pillow covers that can be used in a living room, entry, or bedroom. What I love with these neutrals is that you can mix them with any colour or other neutrals. I am also really into the texture and tassels – can you tell?

  5. Tasseled Geometric Square Throw Pillow
  6. Rivet Modern Throw Pillow with Tassels
  7. Hadrea Handwoven Black and White Lumbar Pillow Cover
  8. Abner Cotton Throw Pillow
  9. Coen Cotton Geometric Throw Pillow
  10. African Mudcloth Lumbar
  11. Square Cotton Mudcloth with Fringed “X”
  12. Spraggins Ikat Cotton Lumbar

As you can see this is an extensive list with variety of styles and price points. When it comes to decorating I love to play with my budget and have a blend of splurge and save items. I really believe that’s how you can add your own twist on a design. Right now, I really love the boho elements like tassels and fringe. I have always been drawn to the organic texture of mud cloth and I love the visual interest that a pattern brings to a space. Add these in any combination of size to a neutral sofa or sectional or on a wood bench or paired with simple and neutral bedding.

Are you liking the boho trend? What about the black and white pillow – do you have any in your home? I can’t wait to share my family room updates with my new black and white pillows!

Tips to Turn Your Bedroom into a Bohemian Paradise

tips-boho-decor-bedroom

Sure, minimalist spaces are beautiful and elegant, but there’s just something missing about them, especially when it comes to bedrooms. Sleeping rooms should be cozy and warm—places that encourage relaxation and even hedonism, and there’s no better way to promote both of those than with a Bohemian design. Want to learn how to turn your boring bedroom into a chic Bohemian paradise?

Here are some tips to follow…

Mix and match patterns and colors

You might think you know a few fool-proof tricks for matching and mixing patterns and colors, but make sure to forget them before you start decorating your Boho space. Bohemian style doesn’t do well with rules, so feel free to experiment and be yourself. Matching florals and paisleys with tribal patterns looks surprisingly interesting. Clashing colors can also look amazing if you know where to stop—even though the Boho decor style is maximalist, it doesn’t mean you can overburden the space. 

Go wild with textures

Textures rule in every Boho space. Even if you don’t like a super busy space and overly bold colors, you’ll achieve that interesting and cozy look with textures. Luckily, textural interest can be introduced into a space in various ways: Think baskets, terracotta planters, macramé wall hangings, shaggy rugs, wood furniture, books…The good thing about textures is that if you notice you pushed things too much, you can always pair things back and create a space you can relax and fall asleep in. 

Add a few bold touches

Boho style is bold and daring, so make sure to look outside the box when it comes to accessories and decoration pieces. If you love the mysterious and witchy vibe, add some interest and spookiness to your bedroom with unique Skull Bliss art. Their pieces look very traditional yet modern which is everything Boho decor is about. Combine your skull art with a few interesting prints and you’ll have a perfect accent wall in your bedroom. 

Don’t forget books

Bohemian style is very cultural and there are no Boho spaces without art and books. If you’re a book lover, feel free to fill your bedroom with rows of books and they will look right at home in your space. No shelf space? Stack your books on the floor and achieve that coveted chill and effortlessly chic look. You can even use piles of books instead of your boring nightstands—it’s a great upcycling idea. Books equal good vibes, so welcome them to your bedroom! 

Add some relaxing seating

Your bed is probably the most comfortable spot in your home, but don’t let it be the only seating spot in your bedroom. Boho bedrooms are not only for sleeping—they are safe havens where you can escape from the world. A low-level armchair or a corner filled with throw pillows will make your space perfect for enjoying a good book or a short meditation session and fully embracing boho decor. 

Green up the space

You won’t find a Boho room that has less than three plants. While you don’t have to imitate what others do, plants are a must-have when it comes to Bohemian design, and for all the right reasons. The green color is very relaxing, plus, your green friends will supply your bedroom with fresh air without toxins which is ideal for a good night’s sleep. And don’t hesitate to go big and exotic with hanging plants and large palms. If you’re aiming for a desert look, cacti will look amazing in your bedroom (just keep them away from your bed to prevent accidents). 

Now, all you need to do is add a few cute light sources (fairy lights and lamps) to illuminate your Boho spaces and get ready to spend some seriously relaxing moments in your chic bedroom. A space that’s filled with good vibes will bless you with happiness and health for sure!
