When I have a request for bohemian style decorating, the urge to lecture my customer on the basics of bohemian decor tends to overtake me. Unlike many other styles, the eclectic hodge podge that as a whole gives that look that so many believe is simple and easy to duplicate, can be a difficult undertaking.

For one thing, the boho look can’t be purchased in the home and garden section of your local bed and bath shop. In order to successfully organize the layers that it requires there must be multiple trips to flea markets, consignment and my personal favorite junk stores where the owner has a hand in the selection of everything from knickknacks to area rugs that have seen better days.
An even better way to approach bohemian style decorating, especially if you are on a budget, is to raid your very own attic or granny’s trunk. There you may find treasures beyond your wildest dreams including bohemian bedding that tells a story. It’s my belief that it is the story behind each decorative item that makes for a unique room design that is impossible for another decorator to duplicate.
Is it possible to buy a brand new set of bed linens labeled as bohemian bedding and decorate a bedroom in a manner that is esthetically pleasing and attractive? Of course, any bedroom with the right balance of color can be made visually pleasing. But will it have the identical personality that drew you to the charm of your friend’s shabby chic apartment when she decorated with an old bohemian bedspread and vintage items that she hand picked over time? That's what's is so unusual and challenging about bohemian style decorating. It takes time and thought.
If your teenage girl has a bohemian style bedroom in mind, this is an opportunity for the two of you to have a blast while you search for bohemian bedding in a cedar chest that hasn't been opened in years. What a wonderful chance to share family stories all the while discovering cool stuff to use in her boho chic bedroom decor.
