The last few years
have seen interiors steer
towards vintage and
retro inspired fashions
in both the fashion and
interior design worlds.
Golden metallic surfaces, bright retro colours that make a visual impact, vintage furniture upcycled with a modern twist are all part of the hottest design
and decorating trends right now but for the savvy designer there’s another
60s style that is quickly making a comeback. Bohemianism. Bohemian decorating is for those who embrace life for those who want their homes full of
life, culture, and interesting items. A bohemian home embraces the carefree,
the relaxed and the unusual. That said, bohemian-style rooms are not what
most would think “hippy” instead they are an eclectic mix of colour, fabrics
and textures.
Colours
There are no rules when it comes to colour,
yet warm earthy colours like terracotta, gold,
fiery orange and metallic play a huge part in
creating this atmosphere. Jewel tones like
saturated purple, and electric blue also play
heavily in the accessories like tapestries and
art. The key to using colour in bohemian
decorating is to think warm. White has no
place in a bohemian room.
