Mixing eras, styles, materials and colours: the bohemian chic style relies on imagination, freedom and the desire to travel. Without going overboard.

An invitation to travel

The bohemian style, whether in terms of clothing or interior design, was inspired by the hippie movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Its key words are travel, imagination and colour. In the home, he mixes Eastern and Western cultures in a deliberate and sparkling disharmony. And when we talk about bohemian chic, the "chic" side of things is found in the absence of accumulation, in the details and in this impression of "I've hunted for something, but not just anything". The colours are less flashy, aubergine is preferred to purple, papaya to orange, sand to yellow...

The bazaar, but not the souk

It is also called hippie chic, but the principle remains the same. In a living room or bedroom, you can happily mix furniture and objects from here and elsewhere, the important thing is that they tell a story. They will integrate a space where fabrics and wall hangings, but also rugs, plaids and cushions, have their place. The accessories participate fully in the bohemian chic style and are mixed in a cleverly orchestrated bazaar of materials and colours. There is nothing to stop you installing an Asian chest of drawers, a Berber rug and a patchwork blanket in a bedroom!

Typical details

The bohemian chic style can also be seen in certain details. For example, the accumulation of frames on the walls, in no particular order and in all shapes, as well as the accumulation of rugs on the floor. There is only one method: let your inspiration run free. And don't forget those retro objects that will catch the eye of any guest; an old typewriter here, an oriental lamp there... right down to the old mismatched plates on the table.
