How To Style Boho Lighting Within Your Space | Rattan Lighting

Celebrating individuality, self-expression, and creativity, natural décor is a growing trend. Coastal, Biophilic and Bohemian-style lighting incorporated into an interior, is the perfect way to infuse a space with character and a unique touch. Not only do these pieces add a calming element to a modern bedroom, a bohemian living room or an eco-conscious restaurant, but the sustainable materials also mean you are making a positive contribution to the planet.

Let’s explore how to choose and incorporate bohemian lighting into your space.

What is natural Boho lighting?

Inspired by bohemian aesthetic, the boho style is characterised by a relaxed and eclectic style, with a mix of textures, colours and patterns. Rattan and boho lighting often have a vintage or handcrafted feel, embracing imperfections, with natural materials like wood, metal or woven, natural fibres.

Opt for organic, sustainable materials

Natural lighting often embraces organic materials, worked from plant-based materials, such as Rattan, Raffia and Moonj Grass. Rattan is a natural fibre that is low-weight and extremely durable, Raffia fibres are made from leaves and are also prized for its strength and durability, and Moonj Grass grows naturally by riverbeds and is an eco-friendly material traditionally used for woven baskets and other products in the home.

Crafted from high-quality organic materials, our natural lighting like the Raffia ceiling pendant or the Boho Rattan pendant, is incredibly tough and resistant to tearing.

Lighting crafted from these materials can contribute to a warm and cosy atmosphere and add an organic rustic feel to the space. Aside from the aesthetic appeal, the use of natural materials means this lighting is also sustainable – choose your lighting with the environment in mind.

If you're drawn to a biophilic-inspired interior but resonate more with pewter and brass tones in your design, consider our Beehive pendants. These sculptural fixtures not only stand out as captivating features but also maintain a stunning nature-inspired aesthetic within your space.

All our fixtures are handcrafted from sustainable, natural materials, but they are also constructed to stand the test of time. Our skilled artisans craft each fixture by hand with love and care. Not only does this ensure that it will last for years to come, but it also creates a uniqueness that adds to the charm of handcrafted lighting fixtures.

Consider shape and style

Natural light fixtures are a simple way to bring in a hint of the outdoors and make your space feel closer to nature, but it’s important to choose a light fixture that compliments other elements in the room. There are various ways that lighting fixtures can complement your interior design style, for example matching materials, textures or colours with surrounding decor. With each fixture handwoven into stunning vase, diamond, hex, drum, hat, globe and round shapes, our natural collection enables you to find the perfect piece to immerse yourself in the refreshing essence of a natural bohemian style.

Our handmade designs are crafted to allow light and shadows to create patterns within the space, and bring a natural light effect that mimics the natural world.

Contemporary interiors can also benefit from the clean feel of rattan lighting, creating a relaxed and natural look with their simple shapes and clean lines. Each of our four natural collections, bring a unique character that invites a second look.

Explore different styles

Different styles of natural lighting offer distinct features. Coastal Rattan pendants omit a unique glow that provides an element of contemporary chic, while Boho Rattan pendants create a calming bohemian feel within every environment. Raffia pendants add a bohemian biophilic textural element in a more minimalistic, understated way, and Moonji wall lights offer a distinct look for those wanting a mix of subtle yet statement lighting.

Whether your bustling restaurant or cosy cafe needs a few statement pieces, or you want to create a warm and cosy ambiance in your boho-inspired living room, organic, natural lighting is perfect.

Choose the right colour

Rattan and Raffia lighting come in various colours, with natural or black being the most popular choices. This diversity allows you to match your décor style effortlessly.

Natural tones seamlessly blend into bohemian-style rooms, offering a lighter touch, while black options create a striking contrast for those preferring darker elements in their space.

Our Moonj, Raffia, and Rattan lights beautifully complement the natural, boho style characterised by warm hues like reds, oranges, and browns, often paired with bold patterns or prints. Whether you seek an organically sourced light in a natural or darker tone, our Raffia and Rattan pendant lights, along with Moonj flush mounts, make perfect additions to any nature inspired space.

Consider the size of the room

Lighting comes in a variety of styles and sizes, so it’s important to choose one that is the right size for your space. Whether you’re looking for rattan pendant lighting for your kitchen, or sculptural lighting for your dining room, our range of Rattan, Raffia and Moonj lights, can add a touch of elegance to a small or large space.

When used in clusters, rattan pendants can have a dramatic effect on any space, with the woven design giving them an ethereal look when illuminating a dark room. For example, whether in a row of three above your kitchen island, placed in the middle of your home, or above a restaurant dining table, our natural lighting collection adds an element of textural interest and a calming bohemian feel within every environment.

Our Moonji Natural Grass Round wall lights are available in 3 sizes (13 inches, 18 inches and 26 inches). Whether you’d like to add a minimalist but tactile element to your space, or have a larger area to fill, our flush mounts are a great way to add textural interest and character to your home or commercial space. Place 1 or more of our bohemian wall lights equally across a room to create a relaxed and unique feel without overwhelming the space.

Add other natural elements

Incorporating different textures is key to achieving the natural, Bohemian style. Raffia and rattan pendant lights look great when paired with other natural elements, such as wood, stone and plants. For example, you could install a rattan pendant light in a room with a wooden floor and a stone fireplace to add depth and texture to the space or add your Moonj wall light to a plant-filled corner to illuminate your tropical oasis.

By carefully incorporating natural lighting design based on room size, materials, shapes and styles, you invite the essence of Bohemian style to define your surroundings. A celebration of sustainability and nature’s beauty in your space, Raffia, Moonj and Rattan lighting is perfect to add an element of organic elegance in every corner of your home.
