Boho-chic

    No two people are absolutely alike. Every single person stands out of the crowd in dozens of various ways, differing by their manners, quirks, personality traits, habits, conversation styles and, the last but not the least, in their personal tastes. These include opinions about music, literature, art, and, of course, fashion.

    Boho-chic is one of the most free, bright and distinct styles out there at the moment, thanks to its versatility, comfortability, and rich history. A plethora of artists preferred it over any other style for good reason.

History and properties of boho-chic

    The word boho comes from the French bohemien, which means "a Romani" (mistakenly connecting the Romani to Bohemia where they had been thought to have originated from). That word eventually turned into boheme to mean a free-spirited social stratum of artists, authors and performers.
    19th century Bohemian style put comfort above all. Its primary characteristics were softer fabrics and looser fits. These contrasted the strict and uncomfortable fashion convention of the era. Bohemian clothing allowed for more freedom of movement and was drastically visually different from the black-and-white standards. It was usually colourful and made from simple, relatively inexpensive fabrics. Over time, the style waned in popularity and resurfaced in the sixties, during the heyday of the hippie movement. The flower children appreciated the simple, cheap, bright, colorful and idiosyncratic style of clothing and furniture.
    The modern boho-chic stems from these two styles, reminding one of the periods of great cultural developments. In addition to the aesthetics, boho-chic inherited the bohemian philosophy behind the style: the clothing and furniture should attract attention with vibrance and balance, rather than with plain expensive appearance. The ecological soundness of wearing easily-produced clothes made from predominantly natural fabrics is another reason for the popularity of the style.
    Boho-chic highlights the individuality of its adherents, showing their charisma, independence and open mind. The style respects traditions and fluently combines them with new ideas. Boho-chic is a bold statement, refusing conspicuousness without refusing flair, a natural, practical and eye-catching choice.

Boho-chic in interior design

Adding to its wide popularity in fashion, boho-chic has a lot of fans when it comes to interior design. That is all due to its versatility, vibrance and wide range of creative decisions it offers. A boho-chic room always looks peculiar and festive.

No two rooms designed in this style are the same: boho-chic often works with absolutely unique, one-of-a-kind furniture. Nevertheless, some common traits and rules can be mentioned:

  1. Creative use of cloth and fabrics with different patterns. It should be said that variety is great, but a well-designed boho-chic room should probably avoid putting outright clashing objects together. For example, a lamp with a pastel-coloured or floral lampshade wouldn′t go together with an entire room of bright striped furniture, even though technically they can be both called boho-chic;
  2. Despite the previous point, it’s great to use difference! A red sofa and a bright green tea table, a tall bar stool next to an ottoman - opposites attract in boho-chic and often add to each other, so use that to the advantage of your interior
  3. Boho-chic often uses warm, bright, and saturated colours to make the room truly vibrant. Don’t be afraid of adding a touch of a completely new color - just don’t forget to think about whether your new piece of furniture will go together with what you already have;
  4. Finally, at the end of the day, boho-chic is all about freedom and self-expression. So you do you!
