Mix and Match to Get the Look

To get the boho-navian look combine Scandi-influenced natural, blond woods and light colors with rich boho texture, global patterns and lots of greenery. In this room, natural wood tones set in white surroundings provide the typical, clean-lined Scandinavian vibe while a mix of boho textures — chenille, woven fabrics, shag rug — and a lot of greenery give the space a shot of warmth and coziness.

Go With One Bold Piece

You can blend the rich colors and fabrics of bohemian style with the light colors and natural materials typical of Scandinavian style. To get the look, go with one bold boho piece like this deep-blue sofa. Paired with the traditional rug, the sofa beautifully contrasts with the white walls, light woods and ultra large fig tree.

Don't Forget the Blues

Muted-blue tones have always been a mainstay in Scandinavian style but paired with woven textures and graphic patterns the look becomes more boho.
