Bohemian style

The boho style, also known as boho chic or bohemian style, is a fusion of various cultures and artistic expressions, creating a unique and vibrant space. Express your wanderlust and interest in other cultures through your décor. Opt for a neutral base with playful accessories such as prints, beads, or fringes. Let your favourite souvenirs from Ibiza, South Africa, South America, or Bali take pride of place in your interior. Allow the hippie within you to shine through in your home style.

What characterises the bohemian style?

A bohemian interior playfully combines natural materials and textures. Handmade accessories and personal items are also key features of the boho style.

  • Natural textures: Use materials such as rattan, bamboo, wicker, and light wood.
  • Playful mix: Blend a variety of textures, patterns, and materials into a harmonious and surprising whole.
  • Handmade accessories: Think of hand-knotted rugs, cushions, macramé wall hangings, woven straw baskets, and an abundance of hanging plants.
  • Personality and self-expression: Show your personality by mixing furniture and accessories from different cultures. Use artistic elements that truly reflect who you are.

Colours that suit the boho style
