The inspiration for my home and subsequent design aesthetic comes from my love of all things Belgian. I discovered this style while living in Switzerland. There were many shops in Zurich that featured this style of Décor. There were also several vendors at the flea markets selling Belgian goods. I read and researched all that I could find about this beautiful style of design and was inspired to start Boho Belgian.
What is Boho Belgian? I think it is best described as style that celebrates simple luxury. Simple luxury may sound like a contradiction but that is also very Belgian. Boho Belgian style is all about the mix: combining modern with vintage, splurges with thrift, re-claimed with new.
The palette of the Boho Belgian interior is similarly complex featuring grays, browns, muted greens — moody earthy tones — rarely whites. Boho Belgian Furniture features waxed, bleached, limed or raw woods; surfaces of stone and zinc are also common but are always honed or matte. Boho Belgian style fabrics are textural; think hemp, burlap, velvet and of course the inimitable Belgian linens.
In addition, the Boho Belgian style embraces the contemporary classics of modern design. There is usually an iconic modern piece of furniture or lighting in any Boho Belgian interior.
