A forgiving interior style BOHEMIAN
AbiPartridgeof Just Fabrics shows readers howthey can incorporate a little boho into their homes
Astyle for interiors that has transcended time is one called bohemian. Each decade it gets re- invented as it borrows fromthemany different design styles of that era.A style thatwhen applied to interiors looks eclectic, travel inspired and is individual. You can throwdifferent interior items together and call it bohemian. It is forgiving because you can put together furniture from different time periods, choose furnishings you love, gather together mementoes fromyour travels and it looks considered and not by accident.
MIX AND MATCH It is a perfect look for thosewho like mixing andmatching colours, textures and patterns. You can put lots of different bright colours together and it doesn’t look like you have been indecisive! You can also borrowfromyour
favourite interior styles and not have to pick just one. Recent bohemian style incorporates Scandinavian pared back designs and retro seventies elementswith the use of hanging jungle plants and exotic fabrics, put themtogether and you have a bohemian interior.
FORGIVING Bohemian style is forgiving because it doesn’tmean a redesign of a room
