10 ideas for a successful bohemian table setting
Do you feel like taking your home on the road? Take your guests on a journey with chic, poetic bohemian table decorations. Here are 10 ideas for setting your boho or coachella table without making a faux pas.
Which tableware for your bohemian table?
- Choose warm colors
Let's start with the most important thing. The tableware is what you'll use as the basis for your décor. Bohemian style favors warm, sparkling, luminous colors such as vermeil, savannah or plum.
- Travel the world
Our current favorite? It's vermeil. Firstly, for its retro-chic, time-travelling look, as this color seems to have come straight out of an old 1970s ad. But also for the warmth it exudes.
To invite vermeil to your table, (re)discover :
- Daringly mismatched tableware
Combine your colorful tableware with softer shades, such as white, ecru or brown. And above all, don't be afraid to mix colors. For example, you can combine our ruddy plates with sapphire tumblers. Or simply transparent glasses.
What accessories for your bohemian table?
- Go for vintage objects
Now that we've got the basics down, you can complete your bohemian table decor with accessories. If you love scouring flea markets and brocantes for vintage objects, now's the time to indulge yourself!
Here are a few examples of vintage objects that work well with the bohemian chic style:
- A sunburst mirror
- Berber rug
- Rattan chairs
- Ethnic jewelry
- Old posters
- Bring out your travel souvenirs
Bohemian style draws a lot of its inspiration from gypsy lifestyle, travel and encounters. So if you love to travel, this is your chance to show it off. Decorate your table and dining room with souvenirs of your peregrinations to the four corners of the globe.
Here are a few examples to inspire you and add a touch of authenticity to your bohemian decor:
- Old suitcases
- Straw hats
- Semi-precious stones
- Tribal masks
- Paintings
- Put DIY in the spotlight
Are you a creative person? Make wicker baskets, macramé hangers, lace doilies or dreamcatchers from feathers and wood. All these handcrafted objects work perfectly with the bohemian style.
What are the codes for bohemian chic table decor?
- Opt for natural materials
Bohemian style is also all about natural materials. If you have a pretty wooden table, forget the tablecloth. Place your plates directly on the wood. And complete your table setting with a table runner in jute, linen or cotton.
- Invite nature to your table
You can also add a touch of nature to your bohemian table with a bouquet of dried flowers, sprigs of pampas or green foliage. Another elegant way to add flowers to your table: scatter a few petals between your guests' glasses and plates.
- Pile on the patterns
Graphic patterns are also one of the main hallmarks of bohemian style. To give your table a cozier look, place Navajo, ethnic or floral patterned cushions on your guests' chairs. You can also mix and match different patterns.
- Dim the lights
And for the finishing touch? Illuminate your bohemian table with a string of lights or scented candles. These lights are soft, festive and poetic. And they're the perfect complement to your coachella table decor.
