1. Go eclectic: mix and match style and materials. Josy’s home works because she keeps to a brownish colour scheme.
2. Go comfy: Swap out a dining chair for a sofa or nook – so that the kitchen table becomes somewhere you could sit for hours!
The wooden shelf was made by Josy’s boyfriend Timo / .
3. Rattan: the modern boho look owes itself partly to the 1970’s revival. If you lived through the 70’s you might completely balk at the idea of rattan – just like I do over hair scrunchies from the 80’s (scrunchies are a thing in Sweden right now and my daughters love them! The only saving grace is that they’ve stopped stealing all my hairbands). Fortunately, rattan has been given a cool and contemporary update and adds a relaxed feel to any space (whether you’re on a high or low budget!).
4. 3D wall decor: Shake up your walls by adding mobiles (this one was made by a friend of Josy’s), wooden sculptures, mirrors and wall hangings. They’ll add interest and depth to the room and help create a homely atmosphere.
5. Plants on all levels: nothing says modern boho like an urban jungle, right?! Think about dotting plants throughout your home using plant stands, windowsills, baskets and hanging planters. Anything goes, you just need to keep them alive!
So, if you’re feeling your home is currently ‘too cold’ and you’re missing that je ne sais quoi – the chances are could just add even one of these elements and it will make a difference!
Is there any other decor you feel adds instant cosiness to a space?
I’m thinking photos, items collected on travels etc.
