24 Western Boho Living Room Ideas
Mixing modern and vintage home decor is a trend that is here to stay. But if you love the look of boho chic decor but also have a penchant for the wild west, then you are going to love these western boho living room ideas.
With bohemian decor you can incorporate a mix of patterns, textures, and colors. And when you bring in western decor you can add in some rustic and vintage charm.
These two styles go hand in hand and are perfect for creating a cozy and welcoming living room.
1. A Serape Rug is a Must
Serape rugs are a staple in Western boho decor. Not only are they full of color, but they also have a worn-in look that makes them perfect for layering.
The serape rug in this living room by @thevintageroad is layered on top of a larger natural fiber rug, and it adds a pop of color to the otherwise neutral space.
2. Add a Cow Skull
If you’re looking for a bold, western-inspired focal point for your living room, look no further than a cow skull. This southwestern staple is a great way to add a little edge to your boho living room.
You can find cow skulls in a variety of styles and colors to match your existing decor. This simple black and white cow skull is a great addition to this neutral boho living room.
3. Mix and Match
A boho living room is a great place to mix and match your favorite styles. In this room, you’ll find a little bit of boho, a little bit of Western, and a little bit of mid-century modern.
The result is a cohesive space that feels layered and interesting.
4. Add a Pop of Color
If you’re not a big fan of color, you might be hesitant to add a lot of it to your living room. But we promise, with boho design, there’s no such thing as too much color.
If you’re not sure where to start, consider adding a single pop of color to an otherwise neutral space. A bright rug, like this one from Rugs USA, is a great way to add color and pattern to your living room without going overboard.
5. Add a Few Plants
You can’t have a boho room without a few plants!
Not only does adding greenery to your space help it feel more lively and lived-in, but it’s also a great way to incorporate more texture and color.
If you’re not the best with houseplants, you could also consider adding a few dried floral arrangements or a pampas grass!
6. Add a Few Vintage Pieces
Vintage furniture and décor are always a good idea in a western boho living room. They add a touch of history and character to the space.
You can also use vintage pieces to play with the color scheme. This room features a vintage rug with lots of color that’s repeated in the throw pillows on the sofa.
7. Add a Few Macrame Pieces
Macrame is the perfect finishing touch to any boho space. Whether you choose to hang a macrame wall hanging or add a macrame plant hanger, these knotted pieces add texture and interest to the room.
You can even make your own macrame piece for a personalized touch in your living room.
8. Add a Few Leather Pieces
One of the easiest ways to add a touch of western style to your living room is to bring in a few leather pieces. Leather furniture is a classic choice, but if you’re not ready to commit to a leather sofa, you can start with a leather accent chair or ottoman.
You can also bring in leather with accessories like pillows, throw blankets, or even leather-based wall art.
Pro Tip:
When decorating with leather in a western boho living room, it’s best to stick with one or two leather pieces. Too much leather can make the space feel heavy and dark.
9. Add a Few Woven Baskets
Woven baskets are a staple in bohemian design and they’re a great way to bring a little western flair into the room. Hang them on the wall, place them on shelves or simply stack a few in a corner for a casual, collected look.
Baskets are also a great way to add texture and dimension to the space. Try mixing them with plants, artwork and other decorative objects to create a well-rounded design.
10. Add a Few Hand Painted Pieces
If you’re looking for a way to add a pop of color to your living room, look no further than hand painted pieces.
This might be a hand painted vase, throw pillows, or a beautiful piece of art. You can even incorporate a hand painted rug, like the one you see here, to add a pop of color and personality to your living space.
11. Add a Few Geometric Pieces
As seen in the other living rooms, geometric shapes are a key design element in boho-style spaces. Here, a geometric coffee table takes center stage in the room. The table is large enough to hold a variety of decor pieces and still have room for drinks and snacks.
The table is surrounded by a large sectional, which provides plenty of seating. Multiple throw pillows in a variety of colors and patterns add a cozy touch to the space.
