What is the Boho Chic style? Main features

Boho Chic style furniture is probably one of the most popular trends for lovers of colour and vintage elegance.

The style favours the combination of fabrics, carpets, cushions, upholstery decorated in a unique and particular way with antique or vintage elements and, in turn, with more modern materials such as metal and glass.
