6 Tips to Achieve a Boho Home Interior

If a boho interior is something you desire for your home, then there are a few ways you can add a bohemian flair to your space. Boho design is all about creating a cosy space, filled with an eclectic mix of lived-in furniture and fabric. We explore ways to achieve a boho feel in your home. 

Choose Natural Materials

While you can certainly create a vibrant boho space, one of the easiest ways to introduce a boho feel to your interior is through the use of natural colours and materials. Adding in raw or natural materials like bamboo, rattan, wood and hemp to your interior is a surefire way of introducing a boho touch. 

If you’re seeking furniture for a boho living space, then bamboo and rattan furniture is one of the quickest ways to add the desired aesthetic to your space. These materials are quintessential to the boho interior design experience, and can immediately transform your space, even if the rest of your furniture and decor hasn’t been updated to the boho style yet. 

When you’re ready to transition your entire space into a bohemian dream, you can even get boho storage furniture with rattan cabinets or bamboo shelves!  

Mix Patterns

While other interior styles involve perfectly matching and partnering colour schemes with specific patterns, the boho interior has a strong mix and match feel. Don’t worry about things clashing; it’s kind of the point! So feel free to throw together a patterned rug, green sofa and geometric tapestry in the same space; we promise it will work. 

Fill Space With Plants

Plants are an absolute must in a boho home; many want to achieve a ‘jungle’ effect. Mix it up with a variety of tall floor plants, like palms, monstera and yucca, as well as smaller potted plants, like cacti, succulents and ferns, and ivy to drape from a hanging planter. 

Instead of ceramic plant pots, try popping your greenery in woven baskets for a more natural boho effect. 

Add Plenty of Texture

A boho home is all about texture! More is more in the bohemian design style, so get decorating with macrame wall hangings, woven baskets, hanging tapestries, bamboo and wooden furniture, Persian rugs and plenty of textural throw pillows and blankets. 

Put Up a Gallery Wall

Wall art is a big part of the boho aesthetic, and a gallery wall can be a great way of introducing this in a more structured way for your interior design. 

While a traditional gallery wall might only contain framed prints and photos, you can add more of a boho touch to your wall layout by adding in wall hangings, woven items, rattan-edged mirrors and garlands. 

Mix up the style of frames you have with a combination of natural wood frames and metal accents. Our brass and glass Kiko frames are ideal for a boho gallery wall, as you can add in dried flowers, keepsakes or illustrations. 

Add Low Seating

A boho home is laid back, with a worldly feel, so in addition to your sofa or armchairs, you should include some lower seating, such as a pouffe, ottoman or floor cushion. Not only does this add a more relaxed vibe to your space, but these furniture items offer versatility, as they can be moved around the room. 

These elements also offer a chance to further play around with texture and pattern, as floor pillows and pouffes can be found in leather, woven fabrics and embroidered designs.
