Spruce up your space with some rattan pieces, macrame hangers, and pots full of plants!

Whether you love layering patterns and textures or take great care in creating a calm and cosy space, boho styling may be the perfect fit for your home’s interiors. When carving out the boho vibe for your home, you’ll want to combine the best of different cultures and their artistry for an eclectic mix of colours and textures.

With boho, no two rooms need to look the same since one person’s perception of what boho means could vary from the next. This makes it easy to incorporate the style with inexpensive decor.

If you’re looking to figure out how this all fits into your personal space, you can find inspiration in these boho-style ideas.

1. Coastal boho

With coastal boho styles, you’ll want to emulate that nomadic energy. Do this by welcoming plants indoors for a refreshing splash of green in white walls and sheets for an effortlessly clean look and natural wood furniture.

2. Cosy nook

Your entire house doesn’t have to be boho-styled. It could be in a small corner where you can fill your space with textures, colours, and some of your favourite things that bring you comfort.

3. Eclectic boho
