Boho lamps - for free spirits.

Boho style lighting - the summer look in your life

Boho living style - Skapetze shows you what makes up the style and how to complete it with the right lighting.

What does "boho" actually mean and where does the term come from?

The term "Boho" is actually short for Bohème or Bohemian and in the 19th century referred to fringe groups consisting of painters, sculptors, musicians or poets (the free spirits). Literally, bohemian means "unattached, unconstrained artistic existence". So if you like to call yourself a free spirit, dreamer or globetrotter, the trendy boho style is just right for you!

Expect casual colours and soft shapes with a casual hippie influence. Our lighting consultants will tell you everything essential you need to know about the right implementation. Let yourself be inspired by our creative suggestions and immerse yourself in the world of boho! 

What influence does Boho Chic have on interior & interior design?

In the home & interior design industry, there are many home styles that have also been implemented in fashion. The Boho style is one of them. No matter whether it's a dress or a top - the casual look can be implemented in all kinds of colours and shapes. But in contrast to the fashion world, where one usually speaks of fleeting trends, the Boho style is firmly anchored in the field of interior design, new and currently fully in vogue! 

The Boho Style is a very contradictory style of living with many facets! An unconventional, natural and dazzling mix. Clear and straightforward design elements in any size play a subordinate or no role here, because the wild Boho style lives from colourful, casual elements.

Influenced by foreign cultures, you will also find unusual prints and fringed elements that make the "imperfect look" perfect. The influences are implemented through cushions, rugs, various decorative items or lamps in all sizes, which are still fun to look at even after years!

What are the must-have materials for the Boho trend?

In the lighting sector, Boho lamps are made of different materials. Mainly natural, environmentally friendly materials play an important role here! By the way, you will also find suitable categories for many of the materials mentioned in the tab Inspiration in the Skapetze Shop!

The most popular Boho materials  for the Hippie Chic look are:

• Rattan
• Bamboo
• Fabric or textiles, such as hemp yarn or wool
• Wood
• Leather
• Linen
• and much more.

Metal does not play a role in the casual lamps.

Which colours achieve the best results?

If you like the bohemian style, stick to earthy, warm shades. A plain wall lamp or floor lamp looks particularly good against a wall in brown, olive, beige or even khaki.

However, to set highlights, you can also resort to gaudy shades  for accents or accessories! Blue, violet or bordeaux complement the muted earth tones perfectly. For the very brave, ochre is another option.  

Our recommendation: In order not to overwhelm the viewer of the room, it is advisable to keep walls and larger pieces of furniture in somewhat more discreet colours and patterns. Use bright colours for small, meaningful details to round off your interior

More colour tips to help you hit the mark

• Pay attention to brightness

Don't choose colours that are too dark, as this can quickly create a cluttered or depressed mood that does nothing for the cosy atmosphere.

• Only use a little colour

Fresh, bright colours are an integral part of the Boho style, but they should only be used selectively. Don't go too colourful, because in the end the style lives from a calm and harmonious overall picture!

As a "rule of thumb", you can simply remember to combine a maximum of four contrasting colours within a room or area. Stylish lamps for your boho heaven

Set exciting accents with casual boho lamps. Whether it is the floor lamp made of rattan in ethno look or the fringed bamboo floor lamp is entirely up to you - the Boho style allows everything!
