Windows into style – what windows to choose for the bohemian style

Bohemian style is an adventurous style. Non-standard texture combinations, juxtaposition of intentive colours, a splendor of patterns seemingly not matching each other. Sounds eccentric? In this madness there is a method, just like a classic used to say. Arrangements in the bohemian style show avant-garde and individualism. In these interiors you can feel freedom and the artistic energy of French bohemians.

Creative excentism of the bohemian interiors is visible especially in brave, intense shades. Colourful walls, furniture, upholstery are in contrasting variants of red, yellow and green. Apartments and houses in the bohemian style look a little bit like oriental interiors. It’s not surprising – they are inspired by travels, and both India and Morocco had an impact on the arrangement climate. It can be seen not only in colours, but also equipment. Heavy, dark colonial furniture, timber, antique armchairs found on a flea market – some carefully renovated, some left in its rugged, marked by history condition.

The perception of splendor is given not only by strong and contrasting colours, but also by the variety of details – some decorations are handmade, some brought from travels, and finally many pieces found in antique shops – lamps, paintings in decorative frames, vases, vicline baskets. We can see the richness of textures and forms. Along with that heavy materials – velvet curtains, carpets with ornaments, pillows and colourful plaids with different patterns.

Interiors in the boho style are the essence of individualism. The freedom in picking the accessories makes the bohemian interiors very personalized. It’s up to us how exactly we want our apartment, house or room to look like. In such an expressive surroundings it’s hard to focus, work or relax in the long run. But we can use only certain elements and ease the artistic splendor a little bit. How? Give up strong colours on the walls, and use them in accessories or equipment. An orange armchair or a green sofa combined with colourful pillows will be effective enough especially in smaller interiors. Although we have to admit that the boho style looks amazing in bigger metrages. High ceilings, broad surfaces of timber floors and characteristic window joinery.

First of all – timber. Natural materials rule in the boho style, so window joinery will go with it really well. We can choose simple classic forms in light or dark colouring harmonizing with the colour of the floor. We can choose the version with mullions – which will reference Parisian interiors, where the windows have spectacular heights, with many divinations. Timber windows varnished to white will fit the light boho variant – arranged in the colours of the Earth, with a lot of accessories from vicline, linen and decorations from handmade macrame.
