It is known to many that boho design is inspired by free spirits and people who defy the norm like travellers. Emerging from early 19th century France, artists moved into the lower rent Romani communities, blending two cultures and embracing alternative ideals of beauty and style. Because of this, the boho style has evolved to be a celebration of culture, incorporating things from different parts of the world and ways of life.
This blending of cultures has resulted in us embracing patterns from countries such as Morocco and Turkey. Taking their traditional tiles they work beautifully to create beautiful boho kitchens. This Terracotta and Blue Medley mural takes the hustle and bustle of a Moroccan market and places it right in the heart of your home.

This could be concrete for a more industrial boho look, brick if you like character or wood for a more Scandi style vibe.
