About Boho
Boho Style Made of Weave, Pattern and Layers
Boho, short for bohemian, is the most relaxed style in the house. It collects texture and pattern from around the world and layers them freely: woven rattan, seagrass, bamboo and straw, macrame, tassels, mandala and Moroccan prints, and plenty of plants. Shapes are soft and organic, like arches, rounds and baskets, and the palette runs through natural tan, cream, rust, terracotta and black. Light should feel warm and dappled, which is why woven shades are such a strong fit: a bamboo pendant or woven wall lamp throws patterned shadows across the room. Here you will find a hand woven bamboo pendant, a woven bamboo ceiling light and a bamboo lantern wall lamp, alongside the decor that carries the look: woven wall baskets, arch and macrame floating shelves, storage baskets in many shapes, feather dream catchers, tasseled table runners, chunky knit throws, and floor cushions and poufs.
How to layer a boho room
- Start on the wall: A cluster of woven wall baskets in mixed sizes fills a large wall with texture and pattern.
- Get low: Floor cushions and a straw pouf around a coffee table make relaxed extra seats for guests.
- Store in the open: Baskets on shelves hide clutter and add texture at the same time.
- Warm the light: Woven shades and warm white bulbs keep the room glowing after dark.
Mixing boho with other styles
Boho shares natural fibers with farmhouse and rustic style, and it calms down nicely next to Scandinavian white walls and pale wood. To get started, browse our floor cushions and wall shelves.
Common Questions About Boho
Both love natural materials, but boho is looser and more colorful, with global patterns, macrame, plants and floor seating. Farmhouse is tidier and more neutral, leaning on wood, cream textiles and black iron. Woven baskets and rattan work in either.
Stick to a palette of three or four colors, repeat your main materials, and give every object a home. Baskets help most here, since they hold the clutter while adding texture. Leave some wall and floor space bare so the eye can rest.
They work well as extra seating for guests, for kids and for lounging around a low coffee table. They are easy to move and tuck into a corner when not in use. Most people pair them with a sofa rather than replacing it.
