Coastal India is having a style moment. From Goa to Pondicherry, a fresh design trend is turning heads boho meets Bali. It’s relaxed. It’s earthy. It’s all about blending the free spirit of bohemian living with the calm charm of Balinese architecture.
At the center of this style wave is one surprising star: synthetic thatch roofing. Yes, that classic island roof is making a comeback—but smarter, stronger, and made for Indian weather.
What Is the Boho-Bali Look?
Let’s break it down.
- Boho (Bohemian) design is playful. It mixes patterns, colors, plants, and handmade decor. It feels relaxed and personal.
- Balinese design is rooted in nature. It uses wood, stone, open-air spaces, and thatched roofs. It’s peaceful and clean.
Now put them together. You get a soft, coastal vibe with breezy textures, tropical plants, earthy tones, and thatched rooftops. It’s Instagram-worthy, yet grounded. Stylish, yet soul-soothing.
This blend is now a favorite in India’s beach towns, and synthetic thatch plays a key role.
Why Synthetic Thatch?
Real thatch looks great—but it doesn’t last long. It falls apart in the sun and rain and requires regular attention. That’s a major issue in places like Goa, Chennai, or Kochi, where heat, humidity, and salt in the air can be brutal on materials.
Synthetic thatch solves all that.
Here’s why designers and builders are choosing it:
- It’s durable – Doesn’t rot, fade, or break.
- It’s low-maintenance – No need to replace it every year.
- It handles Indian weather – Heat, rain, and coastal air are no problem.
- It looks natural – The same vibe as real thatch, minus the hassle.
- It’s fire-resistant – Much safer for cafes and homes.
- It’s eco-friendly – No cutting down trees or palms.
At Matt’s Corner, we manufacture synthetic thatch right here in India. It’s designed with our climate in mind. Whether it’s blazing heat or heavy monsoons, our thatch holds strong.
Where the Boho-Bali Trend Shines
You’ll spot the boho-Bali style across many spaces. Let’s look at how synthetic thatch is being used:
- Cafes and Beach Shacks
Walk into a beach cafe in Goa or Mahabalipuram and you will most likely be greeted by a thatched roof. It’s cozy, it’s cool and it brings that tropical-chic vibe guests adore.
With synthetic thatch, cafe owners don’t need to worry about leaks or replacing the roof every season. It’s a smart investment that keeps the place stylish year-round. Plus, you can design it your way—sloped, layered, wide, or narrow. We help cafe owners craft spaces that are both beautiful and practical.
- Boutique Villas
Vacation homes and villas near the sea are going full Bali mode. Think wooden decks, bamboo fences, and thatched roofs over lounges or balconies. Synthetic thatch gives homeowners the look they want—relaxed and tropical—without the stress of constant repairs. It also adds value to the property with a distinct, high-end design element.
Even a simple gazebo or pergola covered in thatch can change the whole feel of the garden or terrace.
- Wellness Retreats
Yoga studios, meditation centers, and Ayurvedic resorts are going all in on natural-looking spaces. Thatched pavilions create an open, peaceful setting. The roof keeps things cool while letting the energy flow freely.
Synthetic thatch lets these places stay true to their theme—nature, balance, and healing—while also keeping guests safe and dry.
And since our thatch is made in India, there’s no long wait or import issues. We supply, support, and guide every step of the way.
Not Just Looks—It’s Smart Too
The boho-Bali look is more than a trend. It fits well with how people want to live and build now.
- Natural materials
- Relaxed outdoor spaces
- Eco-conscious choices
- Simple, low-maintenance design
Synthetic thatch checks all the boxes. It blends traditional looks with modern strength. That’s why it’s becoming the go-to for architects, designers, and developers.
And the best part? It works in both small and large spaces.
You can use it for:
- A resort entrance
- A pool bar
- A backyard gazebo
- A shaded café spot
- A beachside reception hut
