Boho Summer Style Tips: Pairing Mosaic Art with Earthy Textures
(4 min read) This summer, we are witnessing an overall update of the existing nature-oriented interior design styles. From cottage core to biophilic design, home interiors worldwide are receiving subtle refreshes that enhance their organic and eco-friendly vibe. Among all of these well-known but slightly greener trends, Boho style is leading the charge, while mosaic art is still at the top of the decor features you can implement in your interior to make it both more natural and beautiful.

At first glance, boho style and mosaic art seem almost unpairable. Boho is a more chill cousin of mid-century modern, and mosaic is an orderly and intricate, glossy but ancient art form. So why do they work together so successfully? It’s simple, really, and it’s all about the basics. Boho chic is all about eclectic combos, handmade elements, and cozy-exotic. Mosaic art at its core is all of that and then some. Together, boho and mosaic create interiors that feel curated, injected with culture, and simply sun-kissed. Interiors that are the storytellers in the world of interior design.

Start small
If you are uncertain about your design skills and you don’t want to go full Gaudí on your accent wall, then starting small is the way to go. Coffee tables with mosaic tops, mirror frames adorned with mosaic borders, or even mosaic planters for your gorgeous plants, all will do the trick. These small mosaic additions will give your space some much-needed artisanal flair without overwhelming it.

As boho style is all about layers and nature, any handmade mosaic feature will naturally layer into that aesthetic. With mosaic, each tile tells a tale, and boho is known to do exactly that. A single lamp with a bejeweled mosaic base isn’t just that. It is a memory of your trip to Morocco. A small mosaic artwork on your mantle isn’t just that. It is your favorite seaside spot full of hidden meaning. That’s the beauty of mosaic art.

Let nature dictate the color palette
Boho interiors are almost exclusively anchored in earthy tones. Sandy beige curtains, warm-rust colored metals, washed wood, and leafy green patterns are all synonymous with boho chic. On that note, mosaic art can go in two different, but equally enticing directions. It can complement boho with muted and monochrome tones, or it can boldly contrast it with coral, turquoise, and gold.

For a summer-inspired look, vibrant mosaic art is always a way to go, but an ethereal sunset mosaic backsplash will evoke the same summery feel. Whatever mosaic color or topic you opt for, once you pair it with some macrame hangings, rattan furnishings, and linen throws, your boho interior will be set to tell stories every season of the year.

Texture, texture, texture
Both boho and summer are all about lightness and easy-going vibes, and although that may seem one-dimensional, once you enter a boho-designed living space, you will quickly realise that it isn’t quite so. Quite the opposite, actually. Boho is everything but flat, and mosaic art fits perfectly into that analogy.

Boho chic thrives on texture in all of its glory, and once you start adding texture to create a boho interior, you really can’t do no wrong. A living room with a mosaic floor, bamboo furniture, and gauzy linen drapes is peak boho. But a room with tiny mosaic accents here and there, layered patterned rugs, and floor cushions is also boho at its best. Just let your imagination run wild and play with textures. It really is that easy.
