Bohemian Decor on a Budget

When I think of Bohemian design I immediately imagine of colorful rooms filled with mixed textiles, overlapping rugs, and the queen of Boho herself, Stevie Nicks. She'd be twirling around in one of her iconic flowing dresses, her fringe shawl following her every move as she sings "Rhiannon".

Whether you call it Bohemian, Boho, or Gypsy, this eclectic taste is more than just a style, it's a collection of nostalgic feelings and fearless attitude. If you like to follow the rules of design, this style is not for you.

Traditional Bohemian decor dates back to the 1800's, but modern Boho design has been on trend the last few years. Having no rules when it comes to design, it allows for more freedom. A painted buffet next to a mid century chair could be in the same room as a thrifted leather sofa covered in colorful pillows and throws.

Be fearless as you blend fabrics and colors with mismatched furniture. Buy fresh flowers and fill your home with potted plants. Hang colorful lanterns near windows and let the sun shine through. And if you're like me, have an easel in the middle of it all and let the colors pour out from your soul to the canvas.

Until next time,
