Get a sneak peek of our Trend Story “Ethical Boho”, giving a fresh and sustainable interpretation on the return of Boho Chic Style Trend in home design.
Rooted in the bohemian lifestyle of the 1960s and 1970s, the boho aesthetic originally embraced a mix of cultural influences, handmade crafts, and an overall laid-back, non-conformist approach to living. In those earlier decades, it became a symbol of artistic rebellion and individuality, as people sought to break away from mainstream trends and embrace a more personal, lived-in style.
The boho chic trend also made a notable resurgence in the 2010s, becoming a defining feature of millennial home decor. During this time, it blended seamlessly with other popular trends like vintage and retro styling, and became synonymous with a carefree, bohemian lifestyle. The emphasis on curated, mismatched decor, macramé wall hangings, and ethnic-inspired textiles allowed people to create unique, cozy spaces that felt both stylish and personal. This period saw boho chic style become synonymous with the Instagram aesthetic, where influencers and design lovers showcased their bohemian-inspired interiors, making it one of the most celebrated trends of the decade.
Boho Chic Style Trend is experiencing a vibrant revival today, but with a fresh perspective. While it still appeals to a new generation drawn to warmth, authenticity, and aesthetic beauty, there’s now a stronger emphasis on sustainability in home decor. Our Trend Story “Ethical Boho” developed as part of the 21 in the new ”Trend Atlas 25/26” blends bold patterns, textures, and colors, while placing a high priority on environmental stewardship and social impact. This modern iteration champions handcrafted, artisanal creations made from natural, organic, and upcycle materials. It’s about crafting spaces that showcase individuality and creativity, while aligning with values that protect the planet and promote fair labor practices.
