Lighting for a scandi boho style home – what lighting to choose? | Bihome.pl

Listen, have you ever wondered how it is that some people can arrange their house so that it looks like from a catalog and at the same time feel incredibly warm inside? This is the secret of the scandi boho style. On the one hand, we have Scandinavian simplicity and order, and on the other, we have the artistic, slightly rebellious ease that boho gives us. Together they create a mixture that you simply want to be in.

Scandi boho – when minimalism meets soul

The truth is that the Scandinavian style is sometimes perceived as a bit cold, even sterile. And this is where boho comes in, all in white (or rather in earthy colors and textures!). This combination is a real hit. You don't have to give up the minimalist base to smuggle some madness, interesting textures or expressive accessories into the interior. This is the perfect golden mean for those of us who love order, but do not want to live in a "museum".

Light that creates atmosphere

In the scandi boho style, light is an absolute necessity. Scandinavians know like no one else how important natural sunlight is, so it is worth choosing light curtains and not blocking the windows with heavy furniture. But what about in the evening? This is where lamps come into play. And it's not just about making it clear. The idea is to create an atmosphere in which you want to relax after a long day.

If you are looking for something that will add character to your interior, it is worth taking a look at the brand Ebb&Flow. Their lamps, especially those from the series February, it's the world championship. They are made of blown glass, which gives each of them that "something". Such a hanging lamp in Ivy Green or Smokey Gray is not an ordinary point of light - it is jewelry for your living room or dining room.

Lighting that expresses you

Remember that you don't have to follow strict rules. The scandi boho style is an invitation to have fun. Do you love a lot of plants? Choose lamps made of natural materials. Do you have an eclectic carpet? Let the hanging lamp complement it, not compete with it. The key is to find models - whether hanging, floor or wall lamps - that will make you feel at home and in your own safe haven.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

Does the scandi boho style fit a small apartment?
Of course it is! On the contrary - thanks to the light base typical of the Scandinavian style, a small interior will seem larger, and boho accents will add depth and coziness without overwhelming the space.

What bulbs are best to choose for such lamps?
Definitely choose those with a warm light color. In the scandi boho style, we avoid "hospital", cold lighting. Warm light makes your home a place where you just want to sit with a book.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How to choose the right bulb power for a hanging lamp? +

For hanging lamps in the living room or dining room, it is best to choose LED bulbs with a power of 6-10W (equivalent to 60-75W of a traditional light bulb) and a warm light color (2700K). If the lamp has an open glass shade, it is worth choosing decorative filament bulbs that not only illuminate, but also decorate the interior.

At what height should the lamp hang above the table? +

A lamp hanging above the dining room table should be suspended at a height of 75 cm to 90 cm from the table top. This prevents blinding of people sitting at the table and at the same time optimally illuminates the dining area.
