5. Add Artisanal Touches:

Wax fabrics are often made by hand using traditional techniques, which makes them unique handcrafted pieces.


Add handmade wax fabric cushions, blankets or tablecloths for an authentic and artisanal touch to your decoration.




6. Create a Cohesive Color Palette:

Although wax fabrics are known for their diversity of colors, try selecting a few main shades to create a cohesive palette in your space. This will maintain visual harmony while retaining the eclectic look of the bohemian style.


7. Don’t Underestimate the Small Details:

Even the smallest details can have a significant impact in your decoration. Use wax fabrics to make cushion covers, table runners or even curtain tiebacks to bring a touch of color and texture to every corner of your space.

8. Integrate Green Plants:

To complete the bohemian aesthetic and bring a touch of freshness to your space, don't forget to add lush green plants.


Houseplants such as ferns, succulents and hanging plants add a calming, organic dimension to your decor.


Combine them with the bright colors of wax fabrics to create a striking contrast and a balanced atmosphere.


Besides adding greenery, plants also help purify the air and create a healthier, more harmonious environment in your home.



By integrating wax fabrics into your interior decoration, you can create a lively and colorful bohemian atmosphere that reflects your creative personality and your love for world cultures.


Be inspired by the rich colors and patterns of these unique fabrics to create a space that truly suits you.
