The trick to not letting bold shades keep you up at night is to layer them with floral patterns and pale or mid-toned wooden furniture, and stick to neutral tones for walls and floor. Our rustic timber-clad wall can be easily recreated with lookalike wallpapers, while a neutral rug or two can be used to tone down a darker carpet or floorboards.
The biggest decorating rule of all here, however, is to have fun with clashing pattern and colour!

The baskets
One good thing about a boho look is that a little clutter isn’t the end of the world – if anything, it only adds to the charm. That said, too much is still a bad thing, so keep things under control with a few rope baskets. Now there’s no excuse to leave clothes on the floor!
