A bohemian apartment is always timeless, because bohemian style never goes out of fashion It doesn't follow trends, it has its own independent style characteristics.

First and foremost, a home is always a reflection of its inhabitants, so anyone who chooses this style is likely to be a happy, relaxed person who loves plants and nature.

In Europe, this style of interior design is a little more subdued, so homes in this style typically feature natural colours and shapes, with a few colourful furnishings and accessories.

The bohemian style is usually characterised by colourful patterns and furniture, yet we don't really dare to use them.

Travelling a little further south, in Morocco, for example, you will find much more colourful houses and apartments, as in Spain and the eastern countries.

There is lots of colors, and I like it very much.

Oriental motifs can also be found in European homes, such as a Moroccan pouf or an oriental sculpture.

Many places have pallet furniture, and large cushions and seat cushions in the living room and bedroom for comfort. And the atmosphere is created by the many small lamps, which can be plain or coloured.

Sometimes even the canopy part of the bedroom.

The patterns include ethno style patterns and geometric shapes, and the mandala as a decorative element on furniture, tablecloths and bedspreads is always present.

I like mandalas very much, I will write an article about them.

If you look around a bohemian home, you'll find a striking number of plants. This underlines how important it is to keep nature close at hand.

A bohemian home typically has lots of hanging decorations. Plants are in a macramé pot, and there is always a hanging chair or hammock in one spot of the apartment. I love it when the plants run everywhere. This brings life to dull spaces, and a touch of green always livens up empty areas, too.

When we bought a farmhouse I was thinking, how would be our house in farmhouse stlye and boho style together

I started to look for boho farmhouses on Pinterest, and I tried to make our house like them.

I think we are on a right way, but we don't finish the renewal.

I leart to crochet for two years ago, and I want to make more and more crocheted decorations, storages, rugs in boho style to our home. I have a shop on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/BohoShopHU

If you ask what kind of furniture could you buy, I say that, go to the vintage bazars, and look for old stuffs. Or browse the internet, and buy on marketplaces, because bohemian style is unique and zero waste. If you can reuse an old furniture, than your home will be sustainable, and you save the world from an other discarded trash.

If you have an old crochet blanket your grandmother made, use it, don't throw it. These blankets are colorful and radiates warmth. If you’ve inherited a sofa that’s a bit worn but has a solid frame, have it reupholstered. The old sofas harder than you think. I’m a bit sad I didn’t realize this sooner, but I managed to save two armchairs from my grandmother’s furniture, too.

This is bohemian house style. I like this it, because it looks comfy, and very cozy. I t also preserves a vast number of memories from time to time. It is not boring, sometimes it look a little bit crowded. I think you can find the balance, and your home won' t be ugly. If you also like this style, I recommend you to start your home makeover, you won't regret it!
