Boho Chic Hospitality Corner - Longing for Distant Lands

If there's one thing we've been missing lately, it's trips abroad and long vacations. These allowed us to completely disconnect from daily life and busy routines, to slow down and recharge. A place where you can kick off your shoes and walk barefoot, in a relaxed and natural hospitality atmosphere, like on the beaches of Sinai, Thailand, or the Maldives.

We translated this longing into a hospitality corner that reminds us of a holiday atmosphere in a distant, exotic place, surrounded only by sunny white beaches, blue water, and a caressing breeze.

To create a hospitality corner with a relaxed and 'effortless' look, it's recommended to combine different types of seating, such as a low sofa or bench next to an armchair or low stool, and alongside them, tall and short tables. If there isn't room at home for an entire corner, you can place only parts of it in the living room or on the balcony, places that already invite a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Don't forgo incorporating green plants that bring nature indoors and add color, or alternatively, plant motifs such as pictures or wall decor.

"Hospitality corner" in a natural and relaxed look inspired by a luxurious resort. We used light, monochromatic colors and a wide range of natural materials with a raw, rustic look – wood, straw, cotton, seagrass, and shells. We combined several tables of different heights with various seating options: a white Boho Chic table that also serves as a giant serving tray with a Wild Teak side table; a Natura seagrass bench with Natura shell cushions, and a Natura teak stool. We also incorporated greenery in vases on the hospitality table, in pots in the background, and as a Natura leaf decoration on the wall. Serving utensils: Anthropologie carafe and glasses.

With a finger on the pulse // Boho chic close to the ground

Modern culture, which emphasizes industrial design and advanced materials, has pushed aside the use of natural materials and artisanal work. Minimalist and industrial design styles focused on materials like concrete and steel, maintaining clean, straight lines and monochromatic colors. With the growing awareness of the ecological crisis and the concept of sustainability, design styles have also changed, and with them the use of natural materials and craft, which also bring a rounded, slightly feminine form, and a unique fingerprint that cannot be achieved through mass production. The rough finish provides a perfect contrast to the smooth, mechanized, flawless finish.

Natural materials, especially earth materials such as earthenware, clay, and terracotta, introduce warm colors that create a calm and comforting atmosphere, like Mother Earth.

Our choice // Taking a break

More and more designers in recent years have been engaged in 'rituals' in the home space, aimed at introducing awareness to our habits or helping us change them. Love coffee? Let's not make it 'on the go'. Let's dedicate time (and space) to preparing our coffee or brewing tea.

The ritual can be expressed through a set of dishes that encourages slow conduct, a mug that is 'hugged' in a new way; through unconventional seating – low seating reminiscent of traditional Arab hospitality or a Japanese tea ceremony; or simply a large tray with everything we need to pause for a moment and take a break.

To long for distant places

Tea time. Instead of a standard tray, we used a Natura cutting board. Above and beside it: a pitcher, double espresso cups, and a jar
