  • In this video, I got over how to Decorate in the Boho interior design style! I love this fun, eclectic, unique design style and the way that you can create beautiful, comfortable, informal spaces while still embracing color, texture and pattern. Boho or bohemian design, focusses on found pieces from your travels and is at its best when it is personal and unique.

      My parents were pack rats and didn't ever let me put things on the wall or even paint because of "resale value." They also didn't let me shed anything I'd outgrown, so I didn't have enough storage for what I was required to keep in my room. 😅 Still recovering.
      But I also have a DEEP abiding hatred for both unintentional clutter and unadorned flat white walls. Puts me weirdly within and at odds with both Minimalism and Maximalism. It also makes me *exactly* opposite of the pop-of-color school of boho. But, hey - I guess that's what forces unique design decisions.

      I grew up in a lovely home that was clean, neat, and so fraught with anxiety I couldn't move sometimes. When I left home it was several years of going crazy with the messiness before I got to my own style and comfort level. It's better to let kids find their own way in their rooms, at least to a certain extent. Then we know how to care for a place when we grow up.

    I can’t tell you how much this video helped me to bring together a bunch of different ideas that were in my mind...
    For years, I tried and failed to give my bedroom a “vacation/escape” feeling. Fast forward, my husband is a 2 time cancer survivor before age 40 and I have a small child. My bedroom theme turned into given-up mom. Then, my father passed away and I am going through his items. In this emotional mess, I watched this video, not sure if it would fit me since I haven’t really been able to travel due to my life taking me on so many other pathways. However, something clicked. My dad was a talented painter and a collector. His collection of old albums, the souvenirs he brought back when he traveled for work, all my sentimental pieces, my rattan hatbox from when I went to Florida, mismatched wood tones could work in boho. I even have an old rug in the basement. My cheap black dresser is getting a DIY makeover and my husband is cutting our old vinyl tufted headboard off and making us a new one out of wood. I am sharing this with you because I am a new subscriber and wanted to say thank you and I wanted to let everyone know the big thing that clicked with me while watching this video is that boho isn’t only for the wanderlust travelers, it is for anyone who wants to tell the story of their life’s journey through objects in their design.

      Yes, real Boho! Just the video I needed! I LOVE Boho and have some great pieces. But I also have Skandi pieces and I love birch wood. Now I have clearer ideas for melding them, and using different appropriate color combos in my bedroom and great room (living room and kitchen).

    • @minas.831

    LOL My version of BOHO from the eyes of a 71 year old forever hippie. I have always done my version of boho. Some because when I was first on my own I just had to use whatever I could to make it work. SO over 50+ years and countless moves and life changes my boho has evolved to what it is now. I just feel at home in my space. Many are shocked because I am old and supposed to be grown up. Hahahaha Never going to happen. And after watching the last, to me video of yours, I cracked up because I did make the mistake of buying that marshmellow loveseat. OMG what a mistake. Well last year I took it aart. Removed much of the arm stuffing did some reworking on the frame and stapled it back together. Gained at least 8 more inches space in my room. I had a blast.

I've had designer friends tell me I am Boho, but I never had the chips to fully embrace it. Thank you, thank you!

    I am an old hippie & have always loved the eclectic boho style of decorating. That said, I have to admit that now that I’ve just turned 70, boho is a lot of work! Lots of dusting all the wonderful things I’ve collected over a lifetime of traveling, lots of ‘things’ to move around. But alas, it’s the time in my life to purge! Sad but true. I’ve got no boho sisters or brothers to pass my treasures onto, no kids, no friends of like decorating style! Poor me.☹️😊 I still love the style, though. And…boho is not for dog lovers! Too much fur to constantly clean off all the beautiful eclectic stuff!😩

      The hippies used to say "Express Yourself". That is why the teens like hippie stuff. It isn't boring or like everyone else has. You use what you like and decorate with a sense of self expression. Used items means your copy-cat friend cannot run out and buy identical items. This makes you unique.

    I have finally defined my style - it's BoHo! Art pieces painted by dad and brother. Beautiful sofas bought 25 years ago with an african print, furniture from mum-in-law. Wicker 50's chairs and cabinets bought at an auction and lovingly restored by yours-truly. Plants-plants-plants! Books-books-books. Special vases and coloured glass pieces. Colour palettes - Apricot and navy blue; dark red and green; lots of wood - old and new. Soothing Duck-egg in the bedroom. Yay! My husband says he loves our home. Everything we have means something and has been loved.

    For real Boho decor, look up ‘Charleston’, the house where Virginia Wolfe and the ‘Bloomsbury Set’ lived and stayed. No wall was left unpainted, floors were painted, cupboards were decoupaged or painted. Beds and chairs and sofas were colourful with eclectic fabrics, shawls and rugs.

I live in a house built in the 50's and love the simple space saving design of mid-century but at heart I am so boho and you described it and the mid-century style in a way that really helped me! I've been stumbling toward creating a home I love but thanks to you I no longer have to stumble and more importantly you have given me confidence in my decisions. Thankfully there are more choices out there now. Boho and mid-century were so difficult to achieve just a few years ago. Now it's much easier. So glad I found your channel.
