Boho Lighting
Boho lighting is about texture and warmth: woven shades, natural fibres, shapes that feel made by hand. These fixtures throw patterned shadows and soften a room without trying too hard.
Woven and rattan shades do not just soften light, they redraw it — the weave throws a pattern across the ceiling and the walls, which is most of the appeal and worth planning for. Give the fixture a surface to cast onto: a plain ceiling, a bare wall behind a bed. And keep the bulb inside soft, because a bright cool bulb behind an open weave gives you glare and hard shadow instead of texture.
