This interior perfectly transports us back to the 1960s and ’70s, mixing a hippy-bohemian feel with the beat-bohemian era. The retro posters of musicians and singers that adorn the wall instantly evoke the iconic figures of the era, giving the space a strong beat-bohemian feel. However, the darker colours that would be a defining element of the beat-bohemian trend are absent. Instead, a rich, colourful textile world dominates the scene, which leans more towards hippy-bohemian and folk-bohemian styles.
Cushions spread across the floor, richly patterned carpets and furniture covered in natural fabrics all convey a sense of hippy-bohemian freedomand comfort. This stylish chaos is perfect for those who like a relaxed, informal vibe and colourful, textured spaces, without the pressure of modern minimalism influencing aesthetic choices.
Colours and mood
The intensity of colour plays an important role here: the warm tones of the wood, the bright yet earthy tones of the carpet and the natural, warm colours of the cushions all create a welcoming, cosy atmosphere. The abundance of greenery, including philodendron, palms and Sansevieria, all evoke the botanical enthusiasm of the era, when plants were simply an expression of love of nature rather than a conscious choice of decorative element. This diversity and ‘all plants are important’ attitude fits in perfectly with the hippy-bohemian ethos.
And the plants hanging in the planter add an extra dimension to the space that accentuates the vertical space and immerses you even more in this world of bohemian freedom. The interior’s worn leather suitcase and old turned leg table also have an antique, antique feel, further reinforcing the nostalgia for the past.
Who is it for?
This interior is the perfect choice for those who like to incorporate memories of the past into their individual style, and who like to combine old and new pieces without overpowering the original spirit of the space. For those who like to time travel in their own home, going back to the freedom-loving, creative world of the hippie and beat era, where comfortable, simple furniture and rich layers of textiles add to the charm of the space. Such a space is sure to attract creative, artistic souls who are not afraid to apply eclecticism and expressive aesthetics to their everyday lives.
This interior serves well those who like to socialise, as the cushions on the floor and the arrangement around the comfortable furniture encourage cosy, informal conversations, musical evenings and creative inspiration.
