Modern Boho

Boho with the soul kept and the chaos edited out: woven baskets, planters, cushions, throws, vases and wall hangings in rattan, jute, terracotta and linen. Layer three cushion textures in one palette, drape the throw loosely, and bring in plenty of plants.

Get the Modern Boho look in your home. The modern version keeps the soul of boho and loses the chaos: still layered, still warm, still full of texture, but edited enough that you can find your keys.

It runs on natural fibres and a warm neutral base. Rattan, jute, terracotta, raw timber and linen, with pattern arriving through weave and knot rather than loud print. Plants matter here more than in any other scheme. So does layering, which is the whole trick: a rug over a rug, a throw thrown rather than folded, cushions in three textures and one palette.

Our Modern Boho range covers woven baskets and storage, planters, cushions and throws, vases, wall hangings and natural-material decor. Build it in layers, and let it look lived in rather than arranged.

What is modern boho style?
A calmer take on bohemian decorating: natural fibres, warm neutrals and plenty of plants, with pattern coming from weave and texture rather than loud prints. It keeps the layered, collected feel but edits out the clutter.

How do I stop boho looking cluttered?
Keep the palette to three or four warm neutrals, repeat materials like rattan or jute around the room, and leave some surfaces bare. Layering works best when each layer has space to be seen.

What plants suit a boho room?
Trailing plants on shelves, a tall leafy tree in a corner and something sculptural in a woven planter. If the light is poor, our faux plants give the same look without the upkeep.

How is modern boho different from coastal?
Both lean on natural materials, but boho is warmer and more layered, with terracotta, rust and plenty of texture. Coastal stays lighter and more sea-washed, with more space around each piece.
