Cactuses and flowers, neons and pastels, lively and homely…If all you need is some Mexican painter Frida Kahlo’s style of contrasts for your casa, then use this setting as your moodboard.
Bring out your vintage pieces and flea market finds – mismatched accents narrate the most intriguing stories when paired together. A truly bohemian abode often sports prints and patterns on floors and walls. “Floribunda” wallpaper graces the light emerald green painted wall for a tropical aura. Intense graphics and rich hues on accessories like the leather bar console, the trunk and the pouffe, in the vignette, lend character and an unconventional touch.
