Boho Floor Lamps: Rattan, Wicker, and Natural Style
Boho floor lamps (bohemian floor lamps) are defined by their use of natural, artisanal, and handcraft materials — rattan, wicker, macrame, jute, bamboo, hand-blown glass, and hand-thrown ceramic — to create lamps that carry the evidence of human making and natural material. The boho floor lamp values texture, warmth, and a slightly eclectic quality that resists the formal resolution of more conventional lamp styles. The Amber Blurred Line Print Floor Lamp (from $349) in amber blurred line print floor lamp creates the boho quality through the warm organic resin — the amber surface and the organic proportions reference the handcraft material sensibility of the boho tradition.

The classic boho room has: a macrame wall hanging, a jute rug, vintage-inspired furniture with woven or embroidered textiles, and a floor lamp whose natural material connects to all of these elements. The Artistic Twisted Floor Lamp (from $379) in artistic twisted floor lamp creates the organic sculptural version of the boho lamp — the twisted form and the organic quality reference the handcraft appreciation of the boho tradition without the literal rattan or wicker materials.

The difference between boho and organic modern floor lamps: both value natural materials and organic forms, but boho allows — and celebrates — a more eclectic, layered, and imperfect quality, while organic modern seeks a more resolved, minimal expression of natural material quality
The difference between boho and organic modern floor lamps: both value natural materials and organic forms, but boho allows — and celebrates — a more eclectic, layered, and imperfect quality, while organic modern seeks a more resolved, minimal expression of natural material quality. A boho room has more variety in its materials and a more deliberate sense of collecting; an organic modern room has more restraint and formal resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a floor lamp boho style?
Three qualities define a boho floor lamp: natural, artisanal, or handcraft materials (rattan, wicker, macrame, jute, bamboo, hand-blown glass, hand-thrown ceramic), a textured or imperfect surface quality that celebrates the evidence of human making and natural material process, and an eclectic formal vocabulary that resists the formal resolution of more conventional lamp styles. A boho lamp should look like it was made by a person for a person, not manufactured to a specification.
What rooms suit boho floor lamps?
Boho floor lamps suit rooms that embrace layered textiles, natural materials, and an eclectic mix of design references. Classic boho rooms include macrame wall hangings, jute rugs, vintage-inspired furniture, and woven or embroidered textiles — the floor lamp should connect to these natural and handcraft elements. Boho floor lamps can also work in transitional rooms as a warm, organic accent that softens the more formal elements of a transitional design scheme.
Is boho and rattan the same thing?
No — boho is a broad aesthetic that values natural, artisanal, and eclectic design elements, of which rattan is one of many possible materials. Rattan (and its related materials wicker, bamboo, and cane) are particularly associated with the boho aesthetic because of their natural quality and the handcraft tradition of working with these materials. But a boho lamp can be made of macrame cord, hand-blown glass, hand-thrown ceramic, or woven jute — any natural or handcraft material that carries the evidence of making.
