  • 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.

    • @minas.831

    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!😩

They've so far always said "Mom we love your stuff and we'll be happy to have it later!" Hope my DIL can handle it! 😄✌🏽💗

    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.

      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.

    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.

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.

    I was in college, in NYC, from ‘73-‘77. We lived boho in the dorm rooms, with lots of macrame, DIY of course, those enormous colorful Indian bedspreads that “created” perfect “walls” between your section of the room and your roommate’s, and an overload of plants, especially pot. My first roommate painted a border near the ceiling of pot plants (talk about getting high…).

    I am very drawn into boho mid century modern interior design but less clutter. I love mixing old (our Vestervig Erickson 1960 dinning chair) & new ( Rh oak dinning table). Mixing different culture like Moroccan Rug, Herman Miller Emma’s Chair, Nepali Thanka Paintings etc. And yes lots of plants. I think It helps to create & bring in your style, heritage & somewhat identity. Even though I love mid century, Scandinavian & Japandi style but I think I will always incorporate boho design to bring some of those element of own style. Loving your content & its helping me create some mood board for the house we will be building.

    I live in Antigua, Guatemala and started collecting huipiles....the old ones and large ceremonial ones 20 years ago. A friend of mine here who IS a Guatemalan had dining room chairs made and ended up not caring for the carving on the bacms so she used huipiles just slipped.over the chair backs which is colorful, artistic looking and isnt as much of a commitment as cutting them up to use as upholstery fabric, which I have also seen done.
    I love local crafts but also Mexican ones as well having traveled extensively and collected there throughout my life. When I bought my hime here I also bought a new van and traveled throughout Mexico to my favorite crafts spots like Dolores Hidalgo near San Miguel Allende and also Puebla for talavera serving dishes etc. I went to Taxco for silver serving pieces....Michoacan for lacquerware...etc etc and added Guatemalan carved furniture pieces.and other crafts to my mothers antiques and it turned out wonderful. Most of all my home is filled with memories of two lifetimes....my mothers as a US State DEPT employee abroad and mine as a travel lover.

    What a fun change! I really like seeing ingenious ideas like at 4:07 in which someone created a fake beam look which is fairly easy and solved the no-wiring problem for pendant lamps by hiding the wires in the "beams". Etsy and Amazon make accessories easy for those who can't afford extensive travel. You can also make fun things with 2 bamboo salad bowls screwed together or baskets. I remember doing these inexpensive creative things in my college days and the results really amazed people (in a good way.) However, I learned to pump the brakes on collectibles by asking myself, "Do you want to dust this every few weeks?"

U can do really cool things with scarves, not the winter kind, but the fashion scarves, they come in many colors, sizes an shapes. I think honestly, Boho is really every where, if u r a DIYer the dollar store is a great place to find fun things to create one of a kind pieces. To me, Boho is exactly what he said, it’s things u find an fall in love with!

Then there's the Tiffany and Alphonse Mucha prints...and the New Age crystals, ephemeral fabrics, transparent iridescent colors...and the Native American drums, feathers, prints...and of course, all the Asian prints, statues, fountains.

The only thing is it won’t look professional and cold but it’s definitely homey. And I have lots of velvet and a mirror made from a church window. I used the 70s colors like blue pink and saffron and got this cool wicker chair and spray painted it blue. I have lots of plants. Basically it’s organized chaos but it’s extremely comforting to have a place that feels like it takes on your own personality. Also the walls aren’t painted but I have tons of art and tapestry.
