Do you fancy colored? No problem, because colors such as mustard yellow, rust red or royal blue are definitely allowed.

Bohemian dining room
Dining with style and a cozy atmosphere can be wonderfully combined with the Boho style. If you are still looking for the right furniture for it, we recommend a sturdy wooden table with a matching bench and a few chairs made of leather or imitation leather. With that you have taken the first step towards the bohemian vibe. The dining room or dining area can be decorated with small decorative items such as several tea lights, small green plants and individual small pillows. So that the walls don’t appear so bare, you can also take pictures of your travels or special moments Macrame decoration Select. It gives the room a very special ambience.

Sleep in a boho style
Speaking of relaxation, where better to relax than in the bedroom? After all, it is there especially to leave the stress of the day behind and start your sleep relaxed. In order to take up the boho flair here, almost anything is allowed. A bed made of wood is best suited as a bed frame, which can be decorated, for example, with a coarse string of lights. What should not be missing, of course, are curtains. For those of you who like things a little lighter, we advise you to use linen curtains. If you want it a little darker in the room, then curtains made of velvet or velor are ideal.
So that a bedroom exudes the necessary cosiness, a carpet is worthwhile. Here you can orientate yourself best to the vintage style or choose a Persian carpet, with or without fringes. They always work anyway, whether on carpets, pillows, blankets or wall decorations.
What goes in the living room and dining room is not forbidden in the bedroom either: plants. Here a monstera, there a golden fruit palm, and a cactus is also happy about its use in your home. The advantage: Plants not only make the room look more lively, they also purify the air in your home.

The next step is the choice of towels, which are particularly suitable for ethnic patterns. If you want to place plants here too, are Macrame hanging baskets the best choice.
