Boho – short for Bohemian – is the interior design style for all free spirits: playful, natural, warm, and full of personality. Boho lights thrive on natural materials, organic shapes, and an artisanal character – small irregularities are often intentionally part of the design. Our curated selection of boho lights is kept deliberately compact; you will find a large additional selection of boho-style vases and lanterns in our corresponding collections.
Typical features of the boho style
Boho thrives on natural materials such as rattan, bamboo, jute, macramé, and untreated wood. The color palette ranges from warm earth tones – terracotta, sand, camel, and rust red – to rich accent colors. Boho-style lights often feature organic, irregular shapes, handcrafted details, and a deliberately imperfect charm. Warm white, dimmed light is essential here.
Our boho lights
The RATTAN87 pendant light in black, Ø 40 cm is the classic boho pendant lamp: the braided rattan casts a soft, textured light pattern onto walls and ceilings and is suitable for both above the dining table and in the living room.
The Mars wooden desk lamp in soft pink, height-adjustable combines a natural wooden base with a soft pastel shade – a subtle boho accent for a desk or bedside table.
Where do boho lights work particularly well?
In the living room, a rattan pendant light above the seating area adds a relaxed, natural accent. In the bedroom, dimmed, warm light combined with natural materials creates a particularly cozy atmosphere. In the dining room, a braided pendant light above the dining table acts like a natural work of art. In the conservatory, boho lights harmonize excellently with plants and plenty of daylight. On balconies and terraces, boho elements provide a summery, Mediterranean accent to outdoor spaces.
Boho on the balcony and terrace
The boho style also works perfectly outdoors: natural materials, warm colors, and atmospheric, warm white light can be well combined with our weather-resistant outdoor wall lights and string lights to transform your balcony or terrace into a cozy boho oasis.
Which colors suit the boho style?
Boho harmonizes particularly well with beige, cream, sand, and terracotta as a warm base palette. Olive green complements these tones as a calm, natural accent, while black is used as a deliberate contrast to visually ground the warm color world.
Typical material combinations
Rattan and wood are the classic boho combination and complement each other in texture and color. Linen and ceramics bring additional softness and grounding. Bamboo and jute appear particularly light and summery. Wicker and cotton create a soft, textile contrast to the textured natural materials.
Which furniture suits the boho style?
Wooden furniture, ideally with a visible grain, forms the base. Wiener Geflecht (cane webbing) on chairs or sideboards picks up the braided structures of the lights. Linen covers on sofas or armchairs underscore the natural, casual look. Vintage furniture pieces with signs of wear fit particularly well with the intentionally imperfect boho charm.
Boho-style decoration
In addition to lights, dried flowers, pampas grass, macramé wall hangings, and wicker baskets are firmly part of the boho look. You will find a large selection of matching vases and lanterns in the boho style in our corresponding collections – ideal for stylishly displaying dried flowers or pampas grass.
Boho or Scandinavian – what is the difference?
| Boho |
Scandinavian |
| Playful |
Minimalist |
| Warm |
Bright |
| Many textures |
Clear lines |
Both styles rely on natural materials but differ significantly in their execution: boho thrives on abundance, texture, and warm colors, while the Scandinavian style focuses on reduction, brightness, and clear forms. Those who like both elements can certainly combine them – for instance, a rattan light in an otherwise simple, bright room.
