Moroccan pouffes are another way to add a bohemian element to your home. Perfect for using as a tables with a silver tray balanced on top, as foot-rests or just as pure decoration. A simple google search will throw up plenty of results but shops like Grahame and Green and Anthopologie will sell and deliver world wide. Other specialist online stores such as Moroccan Bazaar and Moroccan decor also sell them and of course there is the always handy ebay and etsy for the bargains and one offs.

The ultimate source of  bohemian moon lighting - The candle

 It doesn't matter what colour the walls or how many beautiful furnishings you have if a room is too bright or too dingy it wont help you achieve the chilled out vibe you are looking for. Lighting can be used to great effect to improve not only the look of a room but also your mood.

Light therapy has been used for centuries and many ancient cultures practised various forms of 'heliotherapy', including Ancient Greece, Egypt and Rome. The Inca, Assyrian and early German settlers also worshipped the sun as a health bringing deity.

I am a big fan of candle light, I swear the world seems like such a better place without any electrical interference. I am a big fan of power cuts :)




If you love the vintage look I thoroughly suggest you check out Goldstone Studios beautiful vintage lamps. They are just stunning!!

 Following on from the cob homes post.... I have for a long time loved the top two images but never been able to find a reliable source on tumblr or pintrest etc.. which is such a pain as I would love to know more about these beautiful creative homes.

However, on my quest to find out more I came across so many beautiful painted mud homes from all over the world. The bottom two are from the Bhunga tribe in India, who decorate their mud homes with paint, raised mud and mirrors, aren't they stunning!


p.s if any one knows more about the top two please let me know :)


edit. Monica from the awesome blog bohemian Twilight has said the top two are probably from the book Indian Interiors. Thank you Monica xxxBhunga Home
