BOHEMIAN DECORATION STYLE

The word bohemian comes from the French word “la boheme” which means “gypsy”. Also adopted as a lifestyle, bohemian is inspired by the nomadic lifestyle of the gypsies. Adopting a carefree, unhurried and problem-free lifestyle, the bohemian attracts free and nomadic people who don’t think about what tomorrow might bring. // The word “bohemian” comes from “bohemien” in French, a term used to refer to Romani people of France who were believed to have come to the country from Bohemia. “Bohemian” later transformed to have different meanings tied to people in the arts and creation circles, who choose a simple way of life, without much concern about what the future might bring.
