 Throughout the world of design, art, and fashion, boho has become a whole world of its own, a culture even. The boho aesthetic is described as free-flowing, diverse, and wildly creative, filled with warm colors and unconventional lines. To fully understand what boho aesthetic is, we need to first delve into what boho is and what better place to start than the beginning. So, what is boho style and where does it come from?

Where Does Boho Come From?

Image Source

Boho comes from humble beginnings. It stems from the word Bohemian, a term originally given to Roma people, more derogatively known as “Gypsies” living in France during the mid-19th century. They let their creativity thrive even in poverty. The French Bohemians soon became affiliated with the Romantics, a group of artistic intellectuals in France. This collaboration sparked a beautiful sub-culture that spanned Europe and inspired literature, art and emerged into what is known as the Aesthetic Movement, an era that embodied pure beauty and visual aspects of art.

As the decade went on, so did the aesthetic. Boho has been used to describe living a minimal lifestyle, a Bohemian lifestyle. Beginning in the 1960s, the boho look went hand in hand with the effortless style of hippies and free-spirited artists. Today, the complementing styles still harbor many similarities.

What Are The Different Styles of Boho

And thus we evolved… maybe a little too much.  Although modern-day still associates the bohemian lifestyle with art, culture, and beauty, the term is not as linear as it might have once been. Today boho is associated with fashion, design, art, and decor. We have numerous different approaches on boho within those categories and styles crossing over to create sub-styles. It can seem a little overwhelming and a bit confusing. So I made a little cheat to help you, and let’s be honest, me too.

Boho Aesthetic in Design

Think natural shades, lush greenery, and warm tones paired with abstract geometrics and unconventional lines. When it comes to creating a boho aesthetic in your design and decor, the box does not exist, and rules do not apply. It’s about layering and mixing textures. Start with a neutral base and add rich colors to create warmth, and then draw the eye with the contrast of cool metal accents. 

What is Boho Style for Home Decor?

Boho decor fits any room in the house, whether you’re adding boho bedroom decor, updating your home office, or creating a boho nursery for your newest addition.

When updating your bedroom to a bohemian hideaway, think about what style you want to adhere to. If you’re aiming for more boho modern, adorn your walls with cleaner lines and neutral tones. To create a boho desert aesthetic, integrate more geometric patterns and rugs. Now, if you want to lavish your bedroom in color, aim for a boho hippie vibe playing with a mishmash of patterns and rich palettes. Most importantly, don’t forget the greenery! Hanging plants, floor plants, framed plants are all welcome when creating your boho bedroom aesthetic.

Soften your baby nursery with toned-down rainbows and macrame mobiles. Consider trying a boho aesthetic for your baby nursery when you’re looking for gender-neutral tones or earthy zen vibes.

What is Boho Style for Wedding Decor?

Bohemian design and decor are not limited to interior design; it’s just scratching the surface. There’s an entire boho decor world out there that’s waiting to be explored. Boho aesthetic has been gaining popularity in the last few decades within events and wedding design. The options are endless with these boho wedding decor ideas, from vintage outdoor lounges to boho-chic table settings, you will fall in love. 

Boho Aesthetic in Fashion

Boho originated from an unconventional view of social structures, so it might seem funny that it has become such a prevalent name in modern-day fashion. However, with influences like the Olsen twins, Blake Lively, and Beyonce draped in gorgeous loose-fitting linen, broad-brimmed hats, and flowing layers, it seems boho has become mainstream, chic even.

Most people immediately think “Coachella” when asked what boho fashion is, but boho has made a name for itself in high fashion. Established designers like Anna Sui and Emilio Pucci curated the boho look onto the runway.

Boho Style & Fashion: The Do’s & Don’ts

Do

  • Maxi dresses & oversized items
  • Layers
  • Warm earthy tones
  • Textured fabrics like lace, rattan, suede, and leather
  • Headbands

Don’t

  • Mistake boho as the same thing as hippie
  • Choose designs that are too sleek or structured 
  • Short tight skirts
  •  Wear anything over branded or monogrammed 

Whether you are just beginning your boho journey or changing things up, the boho aesthetic is an artistic, inclusive style that is malleable enough to work for everyone. The Aesthetic Movement was known for beauty and art that is satisfying to the senses, and the Bohemian lifestyle did not disappoint.
