You ve probably heard the term bohemian chic, but we noticed that most people don't know the difference between traditional bohemian style and bohemian chic style. Although the two have similarities, they are still different.

To make a long story short, the bohemian style emanates from the hippie culture of the 70s. That's why we can sometimes hear the word hippie chic instead of bohemian. The bohemian style is composed of natural element and is very colorful. For your house the bohemian style will be represented by multitude of colors, texture and different materials, what gives this atmosphere hippie bohemian which reminds the travel and gives a artist side to the room.

The bohemian chic style on the other hand, is a combination of the Scandinavian style and the bohemian style. A chic decoration is much more uncluttered, with softer and pale colors (modern Scandinavian look), combined with bohemian colored decor elements or more natural materials that contrast and give intensity to the room.

Look at the difference for yourself, on the left a traditional bohemian style, on the right a bohemian chic style that mixes the modern style with the boho style.
