Okay, I've completely changed my mind. I've initially decided to interior design our vacation home back in the Philippines with a Tropical / Safari themed interior look but then the Bohemian Chic Style is captivating.
I love the mixture of pattered items, big frames, woods, metals, plants, and bold hues. I mean, what's not to love? I wish I did this to our home here in Texas but it's too late for that so I'll channel my boho-chic love instead to our vacation home back in the Philippines. This is how it looked as of December 2015. Thanks to my mom for taking the photo.
I know I can still do so much! I didn't waste time. I immediately scouted for items to achieve the look I'm looking for. I've found this 2x3 pink woven rug from Urban Outfitters on sale last week and received it on the mail today. I thought of layering it on top of that zebra print rug to make a bold statement just like this. If not, then I can just ask my mom to place it somewhere else.
Items summarized from top to bottom left to right:
- Big and small wall decorations - I told my mom to keep the frames we have for now. It's of a high probability that I'll be personally putting this up during our visit.
- Urban Outfitters round pintuck pillow - I love this pillow. I hope to find cheaper options.
- Metallic accent table
- Threshold tripod floor lamp - Love the metallic finish of the legs. It looks like the one from West Elm but cheaper.
- Plants! Plants! Plants!
- Woven basket - Wouldn't it look more presentable to place the potted plant inside this woven basket?
- Patterned pillow covers - I'll be changing mom's brown pillows above.
- Wall shelves - I'll place this above the media/book stand to accommodate more books.
- Mandaue Foam Buffet table
- Ikea coffee table - I love that it has slim legs. The gold-dipped finish on its feet is a bonus.
- Urban Outfitters woven rug
- More rugs from Ikea - I saw inspiration from Martha Stewart's blog wherein she turned these IKEA rugs to pillow covers. I might consider doing these for mom's brown pillows instead of buying new pillow covers.
- Ikea shelf basket
Hhhhmmm.. 2016 will be an exciting year!!
