BOHEMIAN INTERIOR STYLE
The bohemian interior style has its roots in the lifestyle of artists, travellers and free spirits of the 19th century. It was a way of life in which freedom, creativity and personality were considered more important than fixed rules. That origin can still be felt in today’s interiors: a bohemian space may feel collected, layered and individual.
BOHEMIAN COLOUR PALETTES
Within Decoration, we translate the bohemian style into warm and characterful colour palettes. Think of Terra Cotta Pink, Gold and Umber Brown for a soft, earthy atmosphere. Or combine Medici Red, Gold and Absint Green for a richer, more worldly interior with greater depth. Those who prefer a lighter and calmer look can work with Old White, Absint Green and Umber Brown: a free-spirited, collected foundation in which art and accessories can truly shine.

Warm & Earthy
Terra Cotta Pink – Gold – Umber Brown
A soft, warm foundation with a natural look. Terra Cotta Pink brings warmth and a human touch, Gold adds a sunny glow, and Umber Brown provides calm, earthiness and stability. Beautifully combined with rattan, wood, linen, ceramics and vintage furniture.
Rich & Global
Medici Red – Gold – Absint Green
A bold bohemian palette with depth and character. Medici Red adds strength and emotion, Gold brings warmth and luxury, while Absint Green introduces an unexpected artistic tension. This palette pairs beautifully with art, ethnic patterns, dark woods and rich fabrics.
Free-Spirited & Collected
Umber Brown – Absint Green – Old White
In this palette, Old White creates a calm foundation, allowing art and natural light to come into their own. Absint Green brings out the natural green tones in the artwork and adds a fresh, distinctive accent. Umber Brown introduces warmth, earthiness and depth to the space. The result is a bohemian interior that feels free and personal without becoming too busy. In this way, the artwork gains company without losing its impact.
Warmth, Rhythm and Personality
Home accessories make a bohemian interior feel personal and layered. Choose objects that add warmth, texture and character, such as cushions in Umber Brown, ceramics in Absint Green, candlelight in Gold, woven baskets, rattan details and vintage finds. It is precisely the combination of materials that makes the interior feel collected rather than overly designed. Let the accessories complement the chosen colour palette and repeat colours subtly throughout the space. This creates calm among the patterns, art and natural materials. A few carefully chosen accessories say more than an overcrowded room: they give the interior soul without making it feel busy.
Tip from interior stylist Brenda
Bohemian atmosphere with texture and light
In a bohemian interior, textures, materials and light play a major role. Soft fabrics, natural textures and warm daylight work together to create a personal, layered atmosphere. Think of rattan, wood, linen, cotton, ceramics, woven baskets, rich cushions, plaids and vintage finds.
Curtains are especially important here. They soften the daylight, add movement and make the room feel warmer and more intimate. Choose generously pleated curtains with a full, elegant fall, possibly combined with a light in-between fabric to create softly filtered light.
Work with layers and repeat colours subtly: Old White on the wall, Umber Brown in cushions, Absint Green in ceramics and Gold as a warm accent. This keeps the interior calm, even when art, patterns and different materials are present. In the evening, candlelight, warm lamps and glossy accents complete the bohemian atmosphere.
