Boheme Living

Casual and creative living

Boheme Living is characterised by an unconventional, free style. Hand-knotted rugs in vibrant colours and patterns, such as Persian rugs, create focal points. Various materials and vintage furniture give the space a cosy and artistic atmosphere, where creativity and individuality take centre stage.

Boheme-Living – The artistic, unconventional living style

Boheme-Living represents an unconventional, creative, and relaxed way of life. Inspired by artists and free spirits, this style is characterised by its diversity and individuality. Here, old is combined with new, with vintage furniture and flea market finds playing a special role. Colourful textiles, patterned wallpapers, and numerous plants are typical of this style. Boheme-Living invites you to experiment with colours, patterns, and textures, creating a living environment that reflects the personal style and freedom of its inhabitants.

Everything is permitted, nothing is obligatory.

What characterises Boheme Living? Probably the exact opposite of “clean” or “styled”. Here lies a colourful Kelim under an old leather sofa from a flea market, next to it stands a ceramic vase that is a bit crooked, but charming for that very reason. You can tell: Someone lives here who isn’t afraid of corners, edges, and character.

Perhaps a dream catcher hangs above the bed, perhaps a self-painted picture, perhaps an old poster from a favourite concert. It’s not about what “fits”, but what touches. Every object tells a story – about travels, memories, people.

And what if someone hasn’t been able to collect stories? They go on a treasure hunt: thrift shops, antique markets, second-hand – here you find pieces that are different. That aren’t found everywhere. That surprise.

Colours, patterns – and a bit of chaos

Boho means diversity. And this is reflected not least in the colours. Curry can sit alongside petrol, pink can be next to rust red, and gold threads in the cushion cover shine brightly. Those who embrace this style love playing with contrasts. And you can feel it.

Patterns? Absolutely. Ethnic, oriental, floral or simply a wild mix – as long as they tell a story. Together with structured materials like linen, wool or raffia, a cosy, warm overall picture emerges. Sometimes a bit overloaded, yes – but always full of life.

Especially lovely: When light falls through the window and fabrics or carpets glow vibrantly. In those moments, you can feel how much the space communicates with you.

The foundation of the Boho feeling

A room in Boho style without a carpet? Hard to imagine. These handcrafted rugs are a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship and add a unique touch to any space. Whether it's a traditional Persian rug in vibrant red, a Moroccan Beni Ourain with geometric black and white patterns, or a colourful Kilim – they all make a statement and create connection.

And honestly: Is there anything more delightful than walking barefoot on a genuine rug while the rain drums against the windows outside?

What’s particularly charming is that no two rugs are alike. Each has its own pattern, its little irregularities, its origin – and that makes it so valuable in the bohemian context. By choosing handmade pieces, you not only support a beautiful home but also traditional craftsmanship from regions like Iran, Morocco, or Afghanistan.

Nature and Nostalgia

Boheme Living is always a bit retro. Furniture with signs of use, finds from travels, the old enamel pot from Grandma – all of this has its place. At the same time, nature plays a big role: plants, rattan, cotton, linen, untreated wood. Things that breathe.

Often, there are more houseplants in boho homes than one can count – and that's a good thing. They bring life, colour, air – and sometimes even a bit of jungle feel. Accompanying them are dried flowers, small succulents, or lush Monstera plants.

Light is also important: warm tones, soft light bulbs, fairy lights instead of ceiling floodlights. This creates a place that feels like a hug.
