Boho décor has become one of the most loved interior styles in India – warm, relaxed, cosy and full of artistic character. Unlike rigid interior themes, boho décor embraces texture, natural materials, layered textiles and handmade charm.
For Indian homes, boho décor fits beautifully because it complements:
- warm lighting
- traditional wooden furniture
- earthy floorings
- indoor plants
- Indian colour palettes
- natural materials
In this guide, we’ll explore the best boho décor ideas for Indian homes, featuring macramé, crochet and handcrafted accents from Yarn Over by Devika.
