To make the colours pop without being too bright, Elly chose complementary shades and toned them down to soothing pastels.

The colours cover three-quarters of each wall, leaving enough white space to rest the eye and visually emphasising the height of the ceiling. The doors are also painted the same way for visual continuity.

In the living room, Elly made use of the orange hue to create a minimalist television feature wall by painting an arch. This has the effect of creating a layer without adding unnecessary bulk to the space.

Part of the bohemian theme is to embrace a lived-in look. The kitchen embodies this with its open shelving, which displays the family’s crockery alongside plenty of plants and accessories that make for a welcoming home.

The original kitchen wall was taken down in order to accommodate the island counter, which is extra long and wide in order to accommodate the family.

The tiles in the service yard had to be hacked in order to level the flooring between the service yard and kitchen and create a seamless open space. Colour-blocking also continues here, this time in a mustard hue that contrasts with the pistachio green.

Elly chose bamboo blinds to shade the windows, as they fit into the organic look without drawing attention away from the rest of the home.

For storage and display, Elly incorporated various niches around the home. These sit above the line of the colour – and as a practical touch, are high enough to be safely out of reach for little hands.

In the bedrooms, the colour-blocking continues on the wardrobes – this time layering colours with wood tones, and with different shapes for visual interest.

To complement the bohemian look, the family chose light rattan furniture. The warm wood tones also help to tie all the different colours together and lend to a cosy atmosphere to the home.
