1/World Travel Decor
Turning travel memories into a common theme for the whole style of your house is possible.
The secret ? A charming mix of Maghreb chairs, Persian carpets, African sculptures, Birmanian writing desk from colonial time… In short, ethnic diversity. Some may say it is not consistent? Actually, it’s on your side. The mere fact that you’ve imported those objects place them in a consistent move. They all left a mark on you and keep on engaging your emotion. Let’s go on a treasure hunt!
2/Neo-hippie
Folk and nomad, the urban bohemian style gives a sensation of lightness. This decoration is made of soul and does not depend on the room. Carpets from Middle East are laid and moved from room to room. No need for seats… small cushions spread all over the floor around a home made coffee table or trunk discovered in a local flea market will make miracles.
Life inside smells like patina and history, colors are blended with 70s patterns. You just need a peace pipe and everything will be perfect.
3/Straws & Wicker
Hang your straw hat on the wall. Go take a nap and put your linen jacket on your wicker headboard brought back from New Orleans.
Your wicker lights produce gentle and subdued light under which you could read (maybe once again) Almayer’s Folly from Joseph Conrad, while drinking a Yogi Tea herbal tea.
4/Letting Go
The hammock is a urban bohemian style totemic figure. Feel like going to the countryside to relax ? Hanging flowerpot on falling rope will give your interior a « hut » style.
Tartan rug and macrame suggest differently colors on your walls and furnitures. The untidy impression is well on purpose to evoke nonchalance.
The Urban Bohemian style is composed of nostalgia and exotism. Multi-ethnical and humanist, this is the most trendy alternative to Scandinavian style. But unlike what we could think, these two styles meet together when it comes to cosy atmosphere.
