Incorporating the Palette

Textiles & Table Settings

Opt for natural, tactile fabrics and materials such as linen, burlap, or gauzy cotton in muted tones. Layer table settings with pottery-style dishes and sea-glass accents for depth and interest.

Floral & Foliage

Choose dried and fresh floral arrangements featuring pampas grass, dried palm leaves, eucalyptus, and delicate blooms in soft, muted shades. Sculptural, asymmetrical arrangements enhance the relaxed yet refined boho vibe.

Decorative Accents

Incorporate earthy decorative elements such as woven placemats, macramé accents, rattan chargers, and driftwood. Glass cylinders filled with finely textured white sand candles from Lustre Hire provide the perfect finishing touch.

Lighting & Ambience

Soft Candlelight: Use sand wax candles for a warm, inviting glow that complements coastal-boho décor perfectly.

Ambient String Lights: Combine candlelight with subtle string lights for added charm and warmth.

DIY Tips & Budget Hacks

Rent versatile décor pieces, such as pre-filled sand wax candles, to reduce costs significantly compared to buying.

Opt for reusable elements, like glass candle sleeves, which enhance sustainability and practicality.
