Interior style
Bohemian
The bohemian interior style is about warmth, natural materials and a relaxed mix of textures, colours and finds that together form a personal, lived-in interior. No rigid rules or symmetry, but layering and character: rattan next to linen, earthenware next to wool, old next to new. At Mokana in Enschede we bring that mood together in a collection with natural tones and crafted details. In our showroom at Hogelandsingel 49 you can see how the individual pieces come together into a warm whole.
What defines the bohemian style
Bohemian, also called boho, is the art of combining. The style celebrates freedom and personality: you collect pieces that move you and let them sit side by side. Its hallmarks are natural materials, woven textures, plenty of greenery and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Where a sleek interior is about leaving out, boho is about adding layer by layer until it feels right.
Which furniture and materials fit
You lay the base with honest, tactile materials: rattan and cane, solid wood with a visible grain, linen and cotton, wool, jute and earthenware. A comfortable sofa with loose cushions, a robust wooden table and a woven armchair often form the heart of the room.
- Seating: a low, generous sofa with cushions and a rattan armchair
- Tables: a wooden dining table with character and a coffee table in wood or cane
- Storage: open cabinets in natural wood, complemented by baskets
- Textiles: throws, pouffes, a jute rug and linen curtains
Colours, textures and atmosphere
Work with a base of warm, earthy tones: cream, sand, terracotta, ochre, rust and olive green. That neutral foundation brings calm, so you can play with accents through cushions and rugs. The real bohemian look comes from stacking texture: coarsely woven fabric next to smooth wood, soft wool next to stiff rattan. Add plenty of greenery with house plants in woven baskets and keep it warm with mood lighting at different heights.
Combining bohemian in your interior
In the living room, start with the sofa as an anchor and build around it with a large rug, a stack of cushions in different patterns and a few plants. Leave some air in the room, so the layering stays inviting rather than busy. In the dining room a wooden dining table with a mix of chairs works beautifully: rattan next to wood, or a bench on one side. A pendant light in a natural material finishes it off.
Practical: timeless, care and combining
Bohemian is a timeless choice: the style leans on natural materials that get better with the years and on a free mix you can always add to. You do not have to buy everything at once, feel free to add layer by layer. Wood and rattan need little care: an occasional wipe is enough. And because boho mixes so hospitably, it combines happily with what you already have. A country or natural base complements it effortlessly, and even a sleek piece instantly gains warmth with boho textiles.
