11 ways to style boho chic interiors right now

Free-spirited and fun, boho chic has endless appeal for anyone who loves an eclectic vibe in interiors.

This look is all about mixing earthy tones with contrasting colour and stamping your personality onto a space. Draping and layering evokes warmth, while tactile textures and fabrics in spice market palettes can transform a dull space into a spirited blend of everything you love.

Keen to channel a touch of boho luxe? Check out these finds for inspiration…
