From Europe to Asia, Bohemian design - also known as Gipsy chic – is inspired by the clever blend of cultures in a “hippie trail” style. Back in fashion, this desire to travel gives you the chance to create an environment free from conventions by letting your imagination run wild when it comes to your decor.

Develop the sense that you have been bargain hunting for your knick-knacks as well as the impression that you’ve collected impressive souvenirs as you travelled, as if they were mementos of your life. Therefore, it’s time to bring in our personality and to allow for harmony between your home and your living space.

Rediscover natural materials such as linen, wool and driftwood which will warm up the atmosphere. The Feng Shui method is key to achieving wellbeing, as it allows energy forces to harmonise individuals with their surrounding environment: it consists of making energy circulate around a room according to a specific layout. 

As for tones and colours, channel your creativity with a minimalistic and sober palette of shades of beige and white or spice things up by playing on the contrast that is made possible thanks to bright colours.

The furniture, as a centrepiece or just as small touches here and there, will be in harmony with a sunny atmosphere. A hammock or hanging chair will bring a true Bohemian identity as much as an accumulation of mirrors, cushions and other woven wicker baskets.

Adding some succulent plants, whether they be hanging from a macramé plant hanger or in terracotta plant pots, will bring a certain balance to the rooms.

Don’t hesitate to pair together the different hints of Asia such as Beber rugs, Indian silk and other Aztec prints. Ox’s heads, dreamcatchers and patchwork paintings are all good choices when it comes to dressing your walls.

The mosaic tiles that come straight from the streets of Marrakech will be able to find their place in your kitchen or your bathroom. Even crockery belongs to this trend. Chinese porcelain with creative patterns as well as wooden bowls borrowed from the culture of Bali both symbolise this “feel good” lifestyle.

Without a doubt, these nomadic influences will establish themselves within our homes in the long-term and leave their mark on this season by the spirit of freedom they instill in us.
