14 Ways to Bring Bohemian Romance to Rooms
In honor of Valentine’s Day on February 14, here are 14 creative, boho-chic decorating ideas for a dreamy, romantic home. Create an exotic lantern-lit bedroom, add Gothic-chic candle sconces to your piano, decorate a chill living room where sitting on the floor is encouraged and more.
1. Sit on the floor. A living space feels different — more easygoing and often more fun — when sitting on the floor is encouraged. A long, low coffee table is ideal for setting your drink on while lounging on the floor, and extra cushions, poufs or sheepskin pillows are essential for lounging in comfort. Placing a few other objects on the floor, like large lanterns or a stack of art books, will make it feel more intentional. And if you have guests, don’t expect them to do it first — you as the host choosing to sit on the floor can make your guests more likely to follow suit; just don’t expect everyone to feel comfortable there!
2. Mount candlesticks on the piano. What looks utterly romantic to modern eyes was once a common feature on upright pianos — sconce candleholders provided the pianist with light to read music by in a dim room. If you search for “piano candleholders” on eBay or another vintage shopping site, you should be able to find a wide range.
3. Use an old iron bedstead as a loveseat. A vintage twin bed can quickly be transformed into a comfy couch, perfect for snuggling and napping. There’s really not even any need to go out and purchase linens specifically made for a daybed — a simple white quilt or coverlet and a bunch of squashy pillows will do quite nicely.
