Classic Motifs of Boho Wallpaper
Instead, 19th and early 20th-century bohemians would source their goods from less expensive markets. They’d employ refuse and secondhand materials to make their clothing, furniture, and other necessities. And, as creative folks, they had an eye for beautiful things. So just because they were poor didn’t mean that their homes looked dingy.
Over time, the boho aesthetic has had a large impact on design. It’s especially noticeable in wallpaper. Bohemians LOVE dense, complex patterns that feature flowers and other organic shapes. So, if you’re looking to decorate like a true bohemian, you’re definitely going to need some nice wallpaper.
Boho aesthetics range in style. After all, this design style was born from the amalgamation of a bunch of different looks. There is some Asian influence, a bit of mid-century modern, and a sprinkle of vintage/rustic styles, as well. Depending on who’s decorating, each of these elements is employed to various degrees.
When it comes to wallpaper, though, there are a few motifs that really scream “boho!”. Any of these styles will set the perfect stage for a bohemian dream home.
