The Easiest Way To Add Bohemian Vibes To Your Space
The Bohemian design style is beyond popular nowadays and because of this a lot of people are looking for ways to add bohemian vibes to their homes.
There’s something about this design style that feels relaxing, calm and just inviting. I’ve had someone describe it to me as feeling like they were back in Tulum all over again. Now I’ve never been to Tulum, but the pics I see on Instagram made me add it to my list of travel spots. I will also agree that it does give off Bohemian vibes.
One of the things that I do want to point out about this design style is that it provides us with a connection to our home.
Our motherland and that’s Africa.
This design style embodies textures like cotton and tassels and the very popular wall macrames, bold color, natural elements like woods and plants and let’s not forget all the bold patterns we’ve been seeing everywhere like mudcloth. So in case you haven’t made this connection, I’m making it for you.
So for my white people out there who have landed here from Pinterest and love them some Bohemian vibes, there’s a little background to where this design style comes from. If these items are welcomed into your home and you admire them, then let’s educate ourselves about their origins.
Can you tell I’m all in with #BlackLivesMatter? Well in case you didn’t know, now you know and if you want to know even more, check this out here.
The time for an accurate education on Black history is long overdue and we need YOU to advocate too with action not just with sporting our design style. And before you feel offended, recognize that it’s your privilege seeping in. I said what I said out of nothing but pure LOVE. So dig deep and do the work.
Now before I get all preachy because I can go deeper, let me get back to the post.
