The term “bohemian,” when referring to an aesthetic rather than the citizens of the Bohemia region in Eastern Europe, was first coined in France in the 19th century. The term refered to the artistic, avant-garde lifestyle of the semi-nomadic free spirits who frequented Parisian cafes and nightclubs, writing poetry and donning eclectic apparel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, “boho” style embodies the spirit of its carefree beginnings. Bold patterns, global influences and layered textures create spaces that celebrate an artistic and worldly sensibility. Whether you’re drawn to bright colors or neutrals, visually rich or serene spaces, you’ll find something to love in the modern interpretation of “boho chic.” Read on for eight expressive and inviting tile ideas to incorporate this timeless and worldly style into your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vintage furniture and decor have a natural home in boho design. Incorporate this retro sensibility in tile with an antique-inspired pattern. Here, the Inlay Proper by Kelli Fontana tile, in Eden Ode<\/a> and Florence Lace<\/a>, is installed in a checkerboard pattern for an elegant yet whimsical arrangement. The ornate leaf motif is reminiscent of Victorian designs, creating a timeless appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Display the artistic sensibilities at the heart of boho chic design with a bold, graphic patterned tile, like the Nikki Chu Tangier Graphite tile<\/a> shown here. The geometric pattern is inspired by artwork that celebrity designer Nikki Chu encountered on her travels. The hand-drawn shapes complement the organic textures of the soft off-white fabrics and wooden shelves, creating a visually rich space that embodies this expressive aesthetic. For more graphic patterns in a range of neutral tones, shop our exclusive Nikki Chu collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n Look to classic and worldly prints and patterns to create the eclectic appeal of boho style. This gorgeous kitchen, designed by I SPY DIY<\/a>, features the Annie Selke Ikat Black tile<\/a>, which is inspired by traditional Indonesian tie-dye designs. The black and brown pattern resembles weathered textiles, and this visual texture complements the stunning organic and tactile elements in the room–namely the plants, woven lamp shade and wooden ceiling, shelf and countertop.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides pattern, a great way to add visual interest to your space is through eye-catching silhouettes. Curved, diamond-shaped<\/a> and arabesque tiles<\/a> demand attention with their unorthodox forms, as shown in this boho chic bar backsplash featuring the Gem by Alison Victoria tile<\/a>. The scalloped edges and expressive green marble add a sense of movement to this space, and the antique appeal is heightened by the faded gold wallpaper and the glass shelves with decorative brass fixtures. Shop our wide selection of uniquely shaped tile<\/a> to find a silhouette that expresses your individual style.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lean into the unconventional aspect of boho design by creating your own bold layout. Endlessly versatile, subway tile<\/a> is perfect for developing a design that’s all your own. This bathroom is a great example, featuring a unique design that alternates horizontal and vertical stacks of the Villa tile in Warm Grey Gloss<\/a> and White Gloss<\/a>. The result is a stand-out wall that still maintains the space’s soft neutral color scheme. We love how this wall tile pairs with the Moroccan-inspired Kasbah Cross<\/a> and Star Terracotta tile<\/a> floor.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Though boho chic allows for bold patterns and bright colors, you can still express your bohemian sensibilities in more muted tones. In fact, more and more modern boho spaces are embracing a neutral color palette as a base and adding eclectic elements as accents. That’s what West Bay Homes<\/a> achieved in this gorgeous beige and pink bathroom. The Legno travertine floor tile<\/a> grounds this space in soft tones, while the wicker light shades, light pink cabinet details, and smooth polished marble countertop give this space the rich visual texture characteristic of boho chic design.<\/p>\n\n\n Another way to achieve a sleek and unique boho interior is to saturate your space with bright jewel tones. This stunning bathroom features brilliant sapphire blue throughout. The Marrakesh Blue handmade-look tile<\/a> creates a color-drenched tableau that extends to matching paint across the walls and ceiling. The checkerboard shower wall adds a whimsical touch and provides a slight respite from the bold color. If you love this jewel-tone effect, shop our full assortment of blue<\/a>, green<\/a> and purple tile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pattern, material and finish can add visual texture to a space, but for a highly tactile experience, consider adding a fluted or sculptural tile<\/a>. This shower features the wood-look fluted Violin Decor tile<\/a>. The raised “flutes” add to the sensory experience of this space, contributing to its relaxed vibe. Much like the wicker, burlap and woven fibers characteristic of boho chic, fluted wood-look tile<\/a> adds organic texture to your design.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ready to incorporate boho chic design into your next reno?
