Boho style - interiors for individualists

Boho style is much more than natural motifs, accessories from around the world or decorations made of jute, rattan and clay (you'll find plenty of these below!). It is a philosophy of life, freedom of expression and a style that relaxes and brightens up a space. It's ideal for those who love freedom of arrangement and have a need to express themselves.

The boho style itself has many facets and cannot be confined within a rigid framework of rules and principles. The classic version of boho is colourful fabrics, jungle, ethnic patterns and natural textures. Scandi bo ho is the contemporary face of boho, with a relaxed style accompanying Scandinavian minimalism. Modern boho, on the other hand, invites you to combine traditional boho elements with modern design.

What's more, the upcoming year 2025, in turn, heralds a triumphant return to nature-inspired maximalism, rejecting ascetic spaces in favour of saturated arrangements, and boho - regardless of the version chosen - fits perfectly into this trend.

So if you dream of a vibrant interior and a home that reflects your style and personality, then boho - like a holiday in Thailand, by the way - is probably what you need. So get ready for luscious jungle, a wealth of textures, ethnic patterns and earthy colours. The aim: to create a carefree space that ignites the senses.

Boho style is a celebration of natural materials. Wooden floors and furniture (preferably with an aged effect) provide the perfect backdrop for accessories and decoration in linen, cotton, wool, jute, rattan or wicker. These materials appear in boho living rooms in the form of lamps, coffee tables, rugs or storage containers.

Characteristic decorations in a dining room with a wooden table are seagrass placemats, napkins or wicker baskets for bread or cutlery. In the bedroom, hang a handmade dream catcher on the wall, place a round jute boho rug in front of the bed and decorate the bed with high-quality linen sheets with cushions in contrasting earth colours.

After all, it is the earthy colours - browns, beiges, greens, ochre and terracotta- that reign supreme in the boho style, combining beautifully with white walls, but also with single, strong colour accents - red, orange, yellow, purple or turquoise.

Complementing the natural colours, materials and textures in boho spaces are live plants or artistic representations of them. This is an absolute staple of the style, so fill your home with flowers , along with woven pot holders, clay or glazed stoneware pots and covers and standing or hanging flowerbeds. Choose plants with lush foliage and an exotic look - monstera, palms, ferns, orchids. They will allow you to create a real jungle, especially if you let yourself forget about the empty and cold walls!

The boho style loves all wall decorations, but especially those with floral motifs, referring to nature and evoking associations with an exotic jungle. Choose prints with large leaves, botanical posters, woven macramé, botanical posters in wooden frames or go a step further and create "living walls" with homemade flowers and vines. Walls are the perfect backdrop for your boho story, and floral accents will enliven the space and add freshness.

When running for palms, don't forget the herbs! In keeping with the 'kitchen gardens' trend, arrange a small herb garden on your kitchen window sill or balcony. It will not only be a great exercise in mindfulness, but also a beautiful decoration to bring the flavour of Thai or Vietnamese food into your kitchen.

However, if you don't have a hand in potted plants, create your own composition with dried, fresh or artificial flowers. Boho ceramic vases are the perfect way to highlight grasses and foliage while bringing an eclectic vibe to your interiors.

Speaking of vases and crockery, if you're on holiday in Thailand (or here on our website), be sure to look around for handmade bowls, cups and plates with irregular shapes and uneven surfaces. Remember that natural beauty lies in imperfections and it is these that give objects their authentic character.

The most beautiful boho-style decorations and vases will not be properly displayed if you do not present them in a favourable light. Lamps made of natural materials - bamboo, rattan, wicker, linen or paper, with shades in organic shapes reminiscent of branches, shells, leaves, flowers or cocoons - will be the perfect finishing touch to interiors and a source of cosy atmosphere.

Large lan terns and lanterns with a handle are not only an indispensable addition during warm summer evenings on the balcony, terrace or in the garden, but also a way to evoke the atmosphere of a tropical holiday in your living room. Arrange the openwork lanterns on the floor, coffee table or windowsill, and don't forget the candles - those scented with sandalwood, lemongrass or patchouli are the perfect complement to boho-style interiors, a guarantee of complete relaxation during a hot bath and massage, or a fragrant element of your daily yoga practice in the morning.

If you're already feeling the lightness and relaxation that comes with an exotic holiday, don't forget that whether you're sitting by the pool, on the sofa or on the terrace, you'll love to wrap yourself up in something soft and warm after dark. A boho blanket with tassels, pompoms or ethnic embroidery or a bedspread decorated with Moroccan, Indian or African patterns is a good idea. Textiles, carpets or decorative cushions are not only practical furnishings, but above all accessories that create the atmosphere in an interior and are an integral part of the design of a space.

Did you know that boho doesn't come from faraway, tropical countries? The style has its roots in 19th-century France, where it was born in a bohemian artistic environment that rejected social conventions and materialism. The interiors of the artists of the time were eclectic, full of memorabilia, artworks and handmade objects that reflected their spirit of freedom and creativity. The Arts and Crafts movement further reinforced this trend by promoting natural materials and craftsmanship. The boho style was revived in the 1960s and 1970s as a symbol of counterculture and hippie individualism, and manifested itself in bright colours, ethnic patterns and second-hand furniture.

Today, the boho style - both in interiors and fashion - is still a symbol of creativity and individualism. It combines traditional elements with modern trends to create eclectic, characterful but often more structured and thoughtful spaces. In a minimalist or maximalist version - boho works well in small flats as well as spacious houses and flats, and even on a terrace or small balcony. Because freedom of expression and individuality will always find their place.
