Getting this look right is just a matter of combining the earthiness of the boho feel with the embellished, decorative nature of the bollywood vibe. A bit of careful consideration before you go out on your shopping expedition will do wonders!

Here are some tips on implementing the look:

• Look for weathered furniture or second-hand finds. This look works because it feels like you’ve owned the pieces for years.
• Steer clear of high-gloss finishes. This look is all about a raw and organic feel, so avoid mass-produced furniture.
• Seek out furniture with curves, embellishments and ornate shapes – the more visual interest you can create the better!
• Woven textiles are your friend! Think of stores like Oxfam or Tree of Life when you’re mood boarding this look.
• Colour clash and mix pattern – but avoid primary colours. The tones are richer in this look.
• Accessorise with glassware and art from your travels. This look is about showcasing your life!
