Boho style in interior design – popular, fresh and quite inspiring
The boho interior looks very unique and fascinates with multi-layered design that looks very coherent. You start with a clean look realized in the style of minimalism and build on this exotic and visually appealing design. The decisive factor for the Boho style is a relaxed atmosphere, which comes about through the creative composition of natural materials, exotic motifs and light and beautiful textiles.

Setting up a boho kitchen – what needs to be taken into account?
Design a suitable color scheme for the boho kitchen
Use light primary colors, earth tones as secondary colors, and mustard yellow, navy blue, orange and red as accent colors. Consider your choice of material for the harmonious design of the interior and the color tonality of materials and textiles. A wooden kitchen will go particularly well with the boho.

Patterns and designs should fulfill an accompanying function and not be dominant. Wood look, clay and terracotta are considered natural, organic and beneficial.

Mix vintage with modern
Mix vintage and modern elements when decorating – boho needs the uniqueness of antique-looking objects and a bit of eclecticism. For example, this could be an oriental carpet on the solid wooden floor. A vintage candlestick or rarities (dishes and glasses) from the flea market can enhance the look.

Set Mediterranean accents
Aesthetic accents and design elements from the Mediterranean style go well with boho. An excellent blend of ancient, southern and oriental traditions, the Mediterranean style is exotic and visually appealing. Integrate such motifs into your boho furnishings – these can be, for example, hand-painted, brightly colored mosaic tiles in an oriental style – either for the back wall of the kitchen or as wall accents.

A pinch of rustic romance
Rustic elements also go well with the Boho style. Rely on the exemplary wooden beams as effective ceiling cladding. Wall shelves made of raw, untreated wood, stools or side tables made of tree trunks as accent motifs will give the interior a charming boho ambience.

There should also be space for prints, posters with sayings and photographs. Don’t forget the macrame wall decorations and the exotic boho style dream catchers.
