home and garden
boho garden Nestled in Kensington Gardens is Boho Garden; a mini haven of Moroccan treasures right here in cosmopolitan Brighton. As you approach you are greeted by a hanging row of traditional kilim backpacks, embroidered slippers and the scent of fresh leather. An array of lanterns, pouffes and tea lights straight from the souks of Marrakech decorate the hand painted furniture. The back room holds a secret space for Berber rugs in varying sizes, patterns and colours. The moroccan style is perfect for updating your garden this season as it has a heavy focus on warming reds, rusty oranges and rich dark browns; effortlessly blending in with the turning leaves of Autumn.
