Do you ever dream of being a nomad? I think it’s something that
crosses all of our minds at one point or another. Traveling from place
to place with no destination in sight; living in a beat up caravan
that’s covered in beautiful tapestries inside and overflowing with
little trinkets you’ve collected along the way. It just seems so
free.
Caravan Dreams
is the name of our latest lookbook and, with its rich fabrics and
eclectic mix of prints, it’ll put you in a traveling state of mind.
Bohemian clothing
is a given for us Free People girls, but what about bohemian home
décor? I love the idea of decorating the home as if it’s a caravan;
getting that on-the-road feeling right in your own home. Here are my
tips on how to create a bohemian-feeling home:

1. Use lots of rich color
Ladies and gentlemen, there ain’t no such thing as a monochrome
bohemian sanctuary. Bohemian décor is all about the colors of the world,
so use as much as you possibly can – and focus on rich hues like deep
purples and saturated golden yellows.
2. Mix it up
By this I mean
everything. To really achieve that eclectic
bohemian feel, mix different textures and prints along with your mix of
colors. If you think it’s “too much,” that probably means you’ve gotten
it just right.
Hang things – everywhere
Caravans are pretty small by nature, so it’s necessary to utilize
every ounce of space there is – including the ceiling. You can achieve
this look by hanging tapestries, jewels, pieces of fabric – anything,
really!
4. Be one with nature
The bohemian lifestyle is all about spending days wandering all over
Mother Earth, so it only makes sense that you’d bring some of nature’s
gifts back to your abode! Fill your space with big, green plants to add
the final touches to your bohemian dream home.
