What is Boho?
Boho style originated from the central eastern European region of ancient Bohemia, where Bohemian travellers were known for living free spirited artistic and nomadic lives. They were influenced by elements of various styles and cultures in their travels, therefore creating a unique and eclectic style based on a mis matched collectable culture. Fabrics, patterns, books, art, vintage pieces and travel memoirs all sit comfortably in Boho style.
Self expressive, free, vibrant colours and patterns are embraced in a nonconformist way. Natural materials and softer shapes feature in Boho style, mixing old and new pieces together.
