The 3 coziest interior styles: Bohemian, retro, and rustic

It can be difficult to choose a home decor style that suits you. There are so many different styles that it’s sometimes hard to see the forest for the trees. Here you’ll find some of Mokana’s most popular styles and tips on how to incorporate them into your living space.

Bohemian

What are the characteristics of the Bohemian interior design style?

The Bohemian or boho style is bold, colorful, and warm. While many interior design styles take a more minimalist approach, boho goes all out! By combining a variety of elements, the living space becomes inviting, cozy, and relaxed.

How can you give your living space a boho vibe?

The Bohemian style makes extensive use of patterns on sofas, rugs, cushions, and home decor. When combined, different patterns can create a unique look. Tip for choosing patterns: opt for a mix of bold and subtle prints so that both stand out. Take a look at our collection of fabric sofas, fabric armchairs, and cushions!

When paired with natural wood furniture in warm tones, the space takes on a cozy atmosphere. Combine all of this with souvenirs, plants, and personal trinkets to create an exotic and interesting look. Take a look at our home decor and wall decor for inspiration. The same rule applies here: go for color and don’t be afraid to experiment.

Retro

What makes a retro interior unique?

A retro interior is all about combining vintage furniture with contemporary elements. The style is vibrant, personal, and often evokes a sense of nostalgia. Retro furniture often features bold colors and geometric shapes, which makes the space feel playful and inviting.

How do you style your vintage furniture?

Vintage furniture is the key to this interior. To ensure they really stand out, it’s best to pair them with more modern pieces. For example: a unique vintage armchair with a floral pattern works best with a solid-colored fabric sofa or a black coffee table. In other words: turn your vintage furniture into a true statement piece! For more inspiration, take a look at our collection of retro furniture.

To make the space your own, you can use photos, posters, souvenirs, and other home decor to evoke a sense of nostalgia. You can also experiment with interesting color combinations to add some contrast to your room. Additionally, you can incorporate rounded shapes in your furniture and lighting to bring a vintage feel to your living space.

Nationwide

What is a rustic interior?

A rustic or country interior style focuses on tranquility, warmth, and rustic elements. It’s the ultimate blend of natural and comfortable! This approach makes the space both serene and cozy.

How can you give your living space a rustic feel?

Color and materials play a key role in this interior style. Opt for neutral shades combined with earthy tones such as dark green, brown, and turquoise. When it comes to materials, think of natural elements like wood and stone. For example, choose a mango wood coffee table or a tree trunk dining table to add a touch of ruggedness to your living space.

A country-style interior is all about comfort. Get inspired by our extensive collection of sofas. A country-style sofa is both sturdy and comfortable, so opt for one with a spacious seat and a sturdy frame, such as the Buffalo or the Rockefeller. You can also create a cozy atmosphere by using candles and lamps. Tip: opt for warm light sources that emit a yellow rather than a white glow. Take a look at our collection of light sources for this.
