Boho Chic Trends

As we approach the end of 2022, all eyes in the interior and exterior design industries turn to the trends for next year, 2023. One such trend is 2023 as predicted by eDecorTrends.com, is the ever-popular Boho Chic aesthetic. What do we mean by Boho Chic? First and foremost, Boho is an abbreviation of Bohemian, which is associated with creative people, intellectuals who are not constrained by structure or convention. Although originating in 19th century France and being mainly associated with the 1960s and 70s, this highly individual style appeals across to an extremely wide and diverse audience.

The style is synonymous with being outside the constraints of the normal design rules and conventions. Forget tasteful, subdued and restrained, think layers of patterned vintage style fabrics providing clashing pops of colour, all mixed together to create a unique laid back and relaxed atmosphere.

However, not everything needs to clash or be splashed with bold colours, Boho Chic also creatives excitement through texture. Relaxed neutral colour palettes are enhanced with rustic elements like warm natural wood, like Cape Reed’s Eucalyptus timber pergolas, authentic thatch roofing, wicker pendant lamps and contrasting natural fabrics. Since Cape Reed started to incorporate Eucalyptus into wooden exterior structure designs, it has progressively become one of the most popular options amongst clients throughout Europe and the Middle East.

Boho Style Furniture

When we imagine Boho furniture it is easy to conjure up an image of rattan and wicker butterfly chairs, hammocks from the swinging 60s and 70s, and of course daybeds. All of which are still very much in evidence today, particularly the daybed, which can be found in all types of places including luxury beach clubs around the world.

Flexible Organic Elements

Casa Del Mar is the perfect example of boho chic interior design. A carefully considered neutral palette featuring many layers of natural textures and shares are combined to deliver an artfully relaxed, cosy dining space. The natural wooden pergola provides a beautiful rustic feature which shades the patio. In contrast white washed pine columns complement the original stone walls, encouraging diners to linger over a long relaxing lunch.
