Brutal Bohemian

Brutal Bohemian creates visual tension and harmony by merging the starkness of brutalism with the free-spiritedness of bohemian design.

Key Characteristics:

  • Raw Concrete: Exposed concrete walls, floors, and ceilings are a defining feature.
  • Geometric Forms: Bold geometric shapes and architectural volumes are prominent.
  • Eclectic Textiles: Vibrant rugs, pillows, and throws with diverse patterns and textures add warmth and personality.
  • Vintage and Found Objects: Incorporate vintage furniture, artwork, and decorative objects with a sense of history.
  • Lush Greenery: Plants are essential to soften the harshness of the concrete and bring life to the space.

How to Achieve the Look:

  1. Embrace Concrete: Leave concrete surfaces exposed or use concrete-look materials.
  2. Incorporate Geometric Furniture: Choose furniture with strong geometric shapes and solid forms.
  3. Layer Textiles: Mix and match rugs, pillows, and throws with bold patterns and textures.
  4. Add Vintage Finds: Incorporate vintage furniture, artwork, and decorative objects with character and history.
  5. Fill with Plants: Add a variety of plants in different sizes and shapes to soften the space and bring it to life.
