Modern Bohemian
Character filled, soul included
Your space tells a story — every cushion, every print, every vintage find has a memory attached. You layer fearlessly, mixing patterns and eras with an artist's eye. Your home feels like a warm, eclectic embrace: lived-in, collected over time, and utterly personal. You'd rather have character than perfection.

How to get the look
- Layer 3+ patterns in a room but keep them in the same colour family — let one hero rug or textile lead, then support with quieter pieces
- Mix eras deliberately: a vintage kilim under a modern sofa, an antique mirror beside contemporary art — the tension is the point
- Create a gallery wall that evolves — leave deliberate space to add pieces over time, frames don't need to match
- Use floor cushions, poufs, and low seating to create relaxed, informal conversation areas that invite settling in
