If there is ever a interior design style that combines effortless with chic, it would be Bohemian. Where everything from crochet to tassels to wicker to wood can work, it is understandably the favorite of many.
Inspired by the gypsies of Bohemia, the style gained popularity as a fashion in the 60’s and 70’s. It’s representing free thought and taking a break from the mainstream culture.Free flowing dresses and mismatched clothes based on the nomadic lifestyle of the Balkan gypsies were among some of the most noticeable elements.
When the bohemian style entered interiors, it followed the same ideals, creating an environment that mixes and matches what is available to create a natural style that follows not much of norms.
A bohemian style space will have patterns, and lots of it. Be it a vintage rug or a wall hanging, patterns are an integral part of the design. It adds vibrance to the room and keeps it from being monotonous.
Moroccan, Aztec or even Indian prints can be right at home here, given the correct balance. For those looking to start small, some of the easiest methods to introduce patterns into the room are through throw pillows, artworks and wallpapers.
The beauty of bohemian is visible from its ability to blend in old and vintage items, even when they are worn out. True to the gypsy style, antique pieces and even unfinished furniture add to the character of the rooms.
Flea market finds, hand me downs and handmade wooden pieces can create interesting focal points without diminishing the other elements. Paired with indoor plants, these can easily become conversation starters.
