Create a perfect boho haven
Boho, short for "bohemian," is a growing design trend that has been making waves in the world of interior design. Rooted in folk influences and artistic creativity, the boho style is all about embracing a relaxed, unconventional, and eclectic aesthetic.
How To Guides
Use texture to create harmony
Experimenting with textures plays a pivotal role in creating a laid-back boho aesthetic. Incorporate the warmth of natural materials such as rattan, jute, and woven textiles, juxtaposed with the smooth finishes of ceramic or glass elements.
Soft colours, such as Calm Peak, can easily complement your varied decor. By artfully blending textures, you can cultivate a cosy and inviting ambiance that encapsulates the free-spirited essence of the bohemian style.
Draw inspiration from nature
The strategic use of colours is integral in fashioning a vibrant and inviting bohemian-style home. Opt for a palette inspired by nature, incorporating rich midtone hues. The rich yellow greens of Tarras and Te Horo provide the base for layer-upon-layer of greens throughout the space from nature to artwork. Balance these hues with the muted midtone blue Murrays Bay to create a harmonious living space.
