The Boho style has made a resurgence lately and we are all about it. The stars of this show might not get top billing but plants seem to be the craze right now. They make the background shot in every magazine, catalog, and home decor retailer’s displays. Specifically you may have noticed succulents rising in popularity as well. But why is adding green so “cool” all of a sudden? These live beauties are like the perfect topping to an ice cream sundae in our room decor. Adding a plant, flowers, or succulents to rooms in your home are not only visually pleasing, they help keep the air in your home clean! Believe it or not, plants have very important qualities other than a nice final touch to your decorating. WE do know for certain that you cannot achieve that holistic bohemian style without the green.

What is Boho? This style of decor is full of rich colors, mixtures of patterns and textures as well as just feeling alive. Boho style is a vibe and a lifestyle and it is not necessarily for every eye. It uses furniture that is old and new or new made to look old. It encompasses recycling and reusing and honoring mother earth. I am fortunate to have a dear friend who encompasses the feel of this style and makes it all her own.

Retro Record Cupboard and cascading plant

personality shines through with details including bold lighting and this vintage shelf filled with old vinyl and family pictures. You cannot miss the cascading features of the greenery which, when in contrast with the warm wood, really is the queen.

Did I mention personality?! Again, we see a bright throwback retro orange lamp and to compliment, the weedy, creamy colors in this green beauty fit right in. Fun coffee table books create interest and are powerful statements and great conversation starters!

Baskets are essential to the boho vibe. This one is an antique and serves the purpose of hugging and elevating this unique plant in a eye pleasing way. Let us not forget to mention the yummy yellow pot. This vinette adds the perfect touch to an otherwise boring table top.

The boho style is everything between comfort and chaos. It screams look at me! It breathes life into an otherwise drowsy home. Can you say that your home literally breathes? One walk around this home and you feel refreshed and happy. The vibrant colors, natural fibers mixed in with worldly art, family antiques and trinkets give you that vibe. Did we forget to mention the greenery? head to your local greenhouse and find the right plants for your space, light and climate. You will literally feel better. If you are thinking of creating this lifestyle in your own home make sure to truly embrace the beauty of natural colors, and woven textures and don’t be afraid of a little color. La Vie Boheme!
