BOHEMIAN STYLE by Wilhide Elizabeth
Bohemian style is a rejection of restrictive minimalism and a return to artistic freedom; Leading interior design writer Elizabeth Wilhide reveals how to find your own celectic style and bring interiors to life with vibrant colours, glittering surfaces and exotic fabrics; Advice on revamping junk and using 'found' items make this book ideal for the costconscious and for those with an eye for the unusual; Striking colour photographs of inspirational interiors; Eclectic, exuberant and, above all, intensely decorative, Bohemian style flourishes once more. Celebrating a new freedom of creative expression in the home: walls saturated in brilliant colour; surfaces and finishes enriched with luminous tiles, mosaic and glittering mirrors; exotic textiles hung from windows and draped over low-level sofas and divans - the Bohemian look is a vibrant cultural mix spiced with artistic flair. Bohemian Style reveals that a willingness to experiment and a taste for vitality and self-expression are more important than knowledge of design when it comes to creating alternative interiors. And the look need not be costly: Bohemian style is also about creating style on a shoestring, improvising furnishings from cast-offs, and conjuring magic from the everyday. Chapters on the history of the movement, paint techniques, walls and flooring; soft furnishings, and 'found' objects; and inspirational colour photographs make this an invaluable sourecbook of creative ideas that will enable you to create your own, individual Bohemian style.
