Boho Style: The bohemian style?

The bohemian style, also known as bohemian or boho style, originated in Paris in the 19th century. At that time, a group of artists and intellectuals rebelled against the otherwise highly conventional, rigid lifestyle of the rest of the bourgeoisie. The desire for a free life, without restrictive guidelines and labels, also defined the fashion and interior design style of the same name: the boho style. The hippie movement took up the boho look and made it popular again. Since then, boho chic has made repeated comebacks in the 1990s and most recently in recent years and is still a popular interior design trend today.

Warm colors, natural materials and handcrafted details characterize the boho look. To ensure that the style works throughout the home, we coordinate the shape and finish of doors, frames, door handles and fittings - from glass doors to black/warm metal accents.

1. Mix of materials: Wood, textiles, ceramics - plus glass surfaces for light & space.
2. Choice of doors: Frosted glass doors (clear/satin frosted/smoke-tinted) connect rooms and remain light.
3. Profiles & systems: Discreet Sliding door systems with matt tracks make transitions appear fluid.
4. Fittings:Matt Black or brass/brass tones create warm contrasts - perfect for boho.
5. Consistency: Repeat forms/colors from the entrance to the bathroom en suite - so the look remains consistent.

Open, large rooms characterize the boho style, which originated in loft spaces and is characterized by unconventional, creative furnishings. When choosing front doors, passage doors and interior doors, the door type, design and material are important to achieve the right boho look. For a perfect overall look, it is important that not only the door itself, but also the frame, door handles and fittings harmonize in style and color. This principle also applies to all windows in the room, which should support the boho style, for example with natural materials or playful designs.

Sliding doors are an ideal solution for large rooms with high ceilings, typical of the bohemian style. They allow for flexible spatial separation without compromising the open living concept and the abundance of light. Sliding doors can be made of modern glass or natural wood, whereby both materials can be harmoniously integrated into the boho style. In smaller rooms, sliding doors help to let in light and make the room appear more open and spacious. Natural boho chic with subtle colors such as white, beige and brown harmonizes perfectly with wooden sliding doors. Modern sliding glass doors, on the other hand, have a timeless look and can be made of both clear and frosted glass. Combinations of both types of glass or the addition of decorative elements on the glass door are also possible to give the room a personal touch.

The boho look can also be implemented in smaller rooms, not just in large loft apartments. The choice of the right single-action door plays a decisive role here. The boho style offers a wide range of options: from simple to playful doors with elaborate ornamental decorations on the door leaf and frame. Even rustic iron doors can be integrated into the bohemian style, as can glass or wooden doors. It is important that the door reflects the lively, artistic atmosphere of the boho style, be it through colors, patterns or materials.

Door handles are a small but essential detail in the boho style. There is a wide range of variants, from simple black door handles with straight lines to golden, curved or elaborately decorated models. The matching of door handle and door fittings is essential, for example when choosing between round and square models. One example of an ornate door handle is the CAROLA PIATTA S model from GRIFFWERK, available in gold and black. The AVUS PIATTA S model is ideal for lovers of simpler designs. For sliding doors, handle shells such as the round PLANEO GM model or handle bars such as LUCIA GTS are ideal for emphasizing the boho style. These handles and fittings help to complete the overall look of the room in keeping with the boho style.

Which questions are most often asked about BOHO style? We found out using software that analyzes which questions people ask voice assistants from Apple, Google and co. We answer two of them here:

Boho style consists of several styles. Breaks in style are nothing unusual. A modern sliding glass door goes well with an elaborately decorated dresser. A brightly colored armchair sets accents in the otherwise rather Clear-cut color scheme.

Lightweight glass doors - clear for maximum brightness, frosted for gentle privacy or smoke-tinted for warm contrasts. Sliding doors are particularly suitable for small rooms due to the lack of a pivoting area.

Graphite black emphasizes lines and looks modern; brass/brass tones bring warmth. Handle shapes like to be organic, rosettes flush-mounted (PIATTA S) for a calm overall impression.

Repeat surfaces (e.g. black or brass on handles, rails, window handles), select glass types according to the room (clear for hallway/living room, satin/smoke-tinted for bathroom/study) and keep profiles slim - this keeps the boho look consistent.
