Boho-Chic: unconventional freedom in design

Boho-Chic is highly trendy and not just since yesterday. Many grandparents still know elements of this style because it originated a few decades ago. For example, long flower dresses and straw hats are characteristic of the look - some even say hippie chic. It is unconventional, natural and loose. All in the spirit of the bohemian.

Bohéme as a role model: against the stiff bourgeoisie

In the 19th century the world was a different one, rather stiff and traditional from today's point of view. This was also the case in France. The Bohéme was born as a counterpart to the traditional society, emphasising freedom and the design of a life plan of its own. The Boho-chic has retained this influence and orientates itself on the basic principles of this earlier movement of the country, which makes "Liberté" sound in the triad of its basic principles.

Why is the Boho-Chic style so popular?

The hippie look simply fits into our otherwise so perfectly clocked and organized time. With its casualness and cosy furnishings, it offers a getaway from stressful everyday life. Casually it offers many possibilities. The only limits are your own inspiration. Nevertheless, the colours should come from a certain spectrum. Colours of nature are also hip in the Boho-Chic furnishing style. Grey, sand or even green nuances play the main roles. Practice restraint. Even if many colours are possible, too many seem restless. In interiors the style picks up oriental elements and thus lively red tones. Creative composition is desired in the Boho style.

Interior elements from distant cultures

Boho-Chic followers love the influence of different cultures. That's why oriental carpets are ideal for harmoniously rounding off the interior design style. Kelims with their geometric patterns and oriental colours are particularly suitable for the look. They are available in almost every colour and various designs offer something to suit every taste. Whether on the wall or on the floor, kilims are perfect companions of the Boho style. Higher pile carpets can also match the Boho style nicely. Moroccan Berber carpets such as Beni Ourain. With their cosy appearance they are real eye-catchers and offer a lot of feel-good atmosphere for your own four walls. If you like it a little more sophisticated, Persian carpets are an excellent choice. Particularly dark shades of red or violet give a luxurious accent that perfectly matches the Boho interior style.

In addition to the right carpet you should also consider other elements such as the right choice of vases and beautiful lamps, if you want to complement your interior look. Above all, keep one thing in mind: let your thoughts run wild and set yourself no limits from the outset. Natural materials and houseplants are generally an excellent match for this style.
