How to and
formulas for styling a Bohemian coffee table top
-☽✧-Δ-✧☾-
Here’s my
formula for building up the décor on a coffee table top with
Bohemian soul and with all the elements that make us human. I personally don’t like
sterile, cold and or impersonal spaces. The home and spaces within should
vibrate what’s important, creating an air that replenishes your soul whilst
serving as function. Some interior decorating rules are broken here deliberately
but in pattern with method which adds a flow even though full expression is
encouraged. Feel free to use the ‘Boheme Color mixing guide' (link coming). Read on for ‘Step by Step of arranging’ and for inspiration on what objects to use refer to fire (link coming) air (link coming) earth (link coming) water (link coming). There's also links to things I actually used here are towards the end of this piece. Keep it layered with
conflicting textures, structures, and colors with homage to ethic, handmade, re-use
and the vintage with natural element loving for true boho. Chapter ‘Styling Tables and Shelf’ (Link)

runners, rugs, trays, trinket dishes/trays, coasters and table matts work well

until needed for use) bolsters and cushions used in yoga and meditation
practice for this is one of the spaces I practice
... Look
to the elements below to find the right objects keeping with chosen color
theme
... Add
something for Vertical Height (Vase or Ornamental statue is perfect –
give more height on book stack) fill water in vase
... Add/Arrange
Fresh Fauna/to vase
... Add stack
of Interest books – Stacked for height (under vase or vertical object is
perfect) or place vertical with book holders optionally, or stack and place
both

symbolic of spirit/self are perfect including Statues, busts, antiquity, Geo,
Puzzle objects, spheres, bones/skulls – things from the
