Modern Boho Style Guide

The two rooms use many of the same ingredients: woven light, plants, textiles and wood. What changes is the amount of color, pattern and furniture competing for attention. The comparison is useful for editing a room, although a dark wall is not a mistake in itself.

Designer tips

Pattern needs somewhere to stop

In the denser room, wall textiles, upholstery and rugs all compete. Try putting a plain cushion or throw against the busiest seat before removing the color you enjoy.

Dark green is not the problem

A dark wall can work with pale seating and a simpler rug. Use the comparison to decide which surfaces should be detailed and which can stay quiet, not to rule out dark paint.

Test the view from the doorway

Look at the room from its entrance. If several small tables and accessories merge into one crowded outline, move one piece aside and check the view again before replacing larger furniture.
