We always dream of a home decor that resonates with our personality, one which speaks to us and one which also makes us feel at home. The bohemian style is exactly that kind of decor. Originated in the 19th century in France, artists like writers, performers and nomads made it a trend of incorporating different patterned elements and embraced a style of living filled with art where most of the things were handmade. Due to their way of living, this became a lifestyle.

And later it became a trend. People are more enticed to opt for this artistic decor. Such eclectic ambience not only feels cozy and soothing to the eyes but also speaks a lot about you and your home.
