Choosing boho wallpaper

Where it works

Boho is a bedroom, living room and studio style, the rooms where rugs, plants and collected things already live. Amber Garland and Rust Roses, warm florals on cream, suit a bedroom or a hallway. Prickly Parade and Pinwheels suit a kitchen or a garden room. The leopards, Bubblegum Cat on hot pink and Hot Spots on near-black, are powder room and dressing room designs. Market Day, figures, flowers and birds drawn flat with heavy outlines, is for a studio or a child's room that can take colour.

Picking between the designs

Decide how much colour and how much ground. Warm florals on cream: Amber Garland, Rust Roses, Marmalade Roses, Butter Blooms, Citrus Bough. Flat folk drawing: Market Day, Pinwheels, Reef Cutout, Folk Safari, Pottery Stars. Animal: Bubblegum Cat, Hot Spots, Cherry Cheetah. Dark and tapestry-like: Moth Meadow, Toadstool Wood. Blush Plaster and Dutch Table are the quiet ones, washes and a still life, for a room that wants the warmth without the pattern. The cream-ground florals will paper a whole room; the leopards and Market Day are for one wall.
