Eclectic, care-free and full of character, it's no wonder that boho-inspired rooms will always be on trend. This home decor style exploded in the 1960s and 70s and is back with a more refined neutral colour palette and lashings of texture in 2026.

Boho living room ideas rely heavily on adding the right accessories to a relatively neutral backdrop, so are ideal if you live in a rental property or want to zhush up your space without a full reno project. Whether you have a grey sofa or white walls, a berber rug, some IKAT pattern cushions and a mango wood side table will transform a room into a dreamy boho space.
