Are you a Bohemian girl? Do you want to live in a Bohemian world? Or do you just enjoy the freedom of the ‘Boho’ look and want to put a relaxed and expressive vibe into some of your favourite spaces?

Because that’s what Bohemian, or Boho, means. It’s creative, it’s flexible and, of course, it’s fun.

If you’re a free spirit (and that’s what boho style is all about) then here are some great decorating ideas for the Bohemian girl in you.

Forget minimalism

If you want to surround yourself with furniture and décor items that make you happy, then revel in them, because that’s really all that matters.

Express your creativity and put together a warm, happy, individual look that says, ‘I live how I like’ and ‘I love where I live’.

Be inspired by our Boho Homewares Package. There’s no better place to start.

Go natural

The Bohemian girl is nothing if not natural. Whether we’re talking colours and patterns, furnishing materials or fabrics, natural is number one.

Rattan and cane are natural choices in every way and the ultimate in versatility. They’re warm and welcoming in winter – especially when teamed up with a selection of Boho cushions and throws – Indian carved timber is unrivalled.

Seek out natural fibres like wool, cotton and linen. Consider leather and hide – faux if you prefer – in shades of natural brown or taupe. They look better when they show their character through use and wear.

Keep an eye on nature all year round. Stunning wall art and decorative plants will bring the outside in and lift any décor scheme.

And, if you’re a Bohemian girl in Australia, why wouldn’t you be inspired by the coastal feel? It’s as close to natural as it gets, and the living is easy. 

Go vintage and retro

Discovering and rediscovering treasures from the past is a Bohemian girl’s dream. The look is retro and it’s filled with nostalgia. If you love it, it’s the right choice!

The provincial range perfectly captures the rustic feel and quietly suggests the good life – whether in Europe or the Hamptons. Why not pick up a few more Vintage and rustic decorating ideas?

And, best of all, there’s nothing to stop you mixing it up with some ultra-modern pieces.

Go cultural

The arts, crafts and traditions of other cultures will always feature in the Boho-inspired décor. Whether you choose the distinctive and evocative shapes of Moroccan homewares, or the exquisite and time-honoured examples of bone inlay, you will add an exotic richness to your daily life. Add your own precious keepsakes and blend memories with the reminders of experiences that are still ahead of you. That’s part of being a Bohemian girl.

Go Boho your way

The beauty of Boho style is that you can develop it to match your personality.

Romantic? Well, yes. Softer colours, muted tones, rounded edges, smaller prints and even some florals and flounces, with perhaps a slight leaning towards vintage and shabby chic....

More exotic tastes? Asian, African and tribal styles might be for you. And you can broaden the palette to include brighter primaries and deep jewel colours. No limits.

Is your style more edgy? Go darker and more mysterious, with touches of oriental or medieval fantasy. You’re in charge.

Forget the rules

Rules? What rules? Boho style means you can make the rules, break the rules – or just ignore them. The eclectic or mix’n’match approach was made for you. Take something from all these styles and enjoy a fusion of elements.

Be brave, be bold, be Bohemian. You know you want to.
