Simple, natural, sophisticated materials and layers
Simple and natural are two hallmark adjectives to describe boho decor, and it’s easy to incorporate these into a sophisticated boho-chic space. Instead of rustic, distressed wood pieces, choose furniture with light wood finishes that are smoother and more refined. For fabric accents such as throws or rugs, choose natural fabrics like linen and jute, and opt for textured, rather than tasseled pieces to bring refined dimension to the room.
Additionally, boho decor uses a lot of layering, such as rugs on top of each other or plenty of pillows on your sofa or bed. Rather than filling your bed with a dozen tiny cushions, you can get a similar effect with a few larger pillows, or even a long lumbar cushion. You still end up with a layered look, but again, without the extra clutter. For your rugs, consider tiled floors covered in a single, large rug—the rug brings warmth and an extra colour or pattern, without adding too many elements or too much height to the space.
A few patterned pillows on our Dunloe range add a bohemian element to a simply styled look.
