Today boho and eclectic refer to a versatile interior design style where almost anything goes. Rebellious artists adopted the informal style in the later 19th century, and its aesthetic heirs would eventually be the hippies of the ’60s and ’70s who adopted many of the look’s typical elements.
Short for bohemian, the word originated in early 19th-century France as a term for Romani people thought to be from Bohemia and referred to their perceived unconventional lifestyle. Whether in cafes, beach bars, or restaurants, the boho look is ubiquitous and has been making its way into our homes more and more in recent years.
