Modern-day vocabulary lends boho, or boho-chic to a serene, warm, and unique style of fashion, design, and art. Over the last couple of decades, boho has become a culture all its own. Boho, short for Bohemian, dates back to the mid-19th century. The term was originally a label given to Roma “gypsies” in France. Over the years, boho has been used to describe free-spirited artists living a minimal lifestyle, often associated with the hippie style of the ’70s & ’80s. These days it has evolved into a more mainstream and posh niche, securing the term of endearment “boho chic.” The style has become a home decor phenomenon, and we could not be happier about it.

Playing with Levels
Just like a stunning landscape, your room design should have levels. So playing around with the height and spacing of your decor is a valuable way to add dimension to a room no matter the size.

Well thought out shelving is the key to having cute clutter. Shelves play into the game of levels by adding surface area, where there would not have been. It offers a blank canvas to add the details.
Dried plants and flowers
You can add a lot, or a little but, regardless of the amount, dried plants and flowers are a gorgeous way to add some muted colors and texture.

When it comes to boho, it’s ok to be a square, or a triangle or a half moon for that matter. Play around with geometry.

A nice wooden or wicker dresser compliments the bohemian look. Don’t be afraid to add some metal accents or colors though.
