Bohemian design can be defined as unconventional and artistic, or as a stylish expression of the bohemian lifestyle.The bohemian design ideas featured here can best be described as contemporary hippie chic and eclectic. Eclectic design developed as a result of an art movement called eclecticism, which is based on the philosophy of combining different styles from different time periods.

A home is an extension of one's self, and this home is the bohemian rhapsody of the adventurous, free spirit. The bohemian designs featured here create a laid-back, fun environment where you can chill-out and find inspiration at the same time. The environment it creates is anything but rigid, and allows plenty of space for creativity to blossom.

Unconventional Bedroom

This playful, unconventional bedroom is suggestive of a space where you can take things more lightly and and fly out of your window to Neverland like Peter Pan. During childhood we often play imaginative games in the bedroom. However, as adults, life becomes more serious, but we can always create a safe place to sleep, play, and dream.  

The yellow and green colour combinations paint the bedroom with a festive Brazilian feel, while the wooden furniture and flooring make it cosy and warm. The palm tree motifs on the mellow yellow wall make the bedroom tropical and sunny. It's easy to imagine waking up in a good mood in this bedroom and whistling some happy reggae tunes as you get ready to start the day. The carefree attitude of this bedroom and its breezy casualness will blow away all your worries in the wind, so you can lay your head down in peace. 

This unconventional bedroom design creates good vibrations, and is a great space to begin and end your days. 

The Eclectic Living Room

The eclectic living room featured here is an artistically mismatched, colourful space – a melting pot of a variety of styles. Eclectic design often combines the old with the new, and fuses a variety of styles to create harmony in what may seem to be chaos. With an eclectic design, you can bring together your grandmother's coffee table with your favourite  piece of contemporary art, and still pull it off. 

The eclectic style of this living room is brought together by contrasting various colours, textures, and patterns. Notice how the black and white lampshade creates a contrast with the colourful cushions yet harmoniously integrates the environment by matching the black and white poster on the wall. This is art, and art inspires art.The artistic design of this eclectic living room inspires artistic ideas - allowing plenty of freedom when it comes to adding new furniture or decor. 

This living room is the complete opposite of boring, instead it conjures up interesting conversations and out-of-the-box ideas. The eclectic design is very bohemian as it is artistic and allows you to be adventurous with your style.
