The warmth of this new trend has made homes more welcoming and is a relief to many with artistic styles that include many colors and antiques.

The term “bohemian” in this society is often used interchangeably with the term “Gypsy”. This usage is many years old and is due to the fact that the vast majority of old world gypsies came from Bohemia and Russia. In times past their styles and music were looked down upon and those who conformed to them were not well accepted. As time went by the beautiful colors and my ugliness of their lifestyle gained a sort of romanticism which caused them to be better accepted and they gradually mixed into the styles of everyday life.

“Gypsy” and “Bohemian” styles have been more common in clothing choices and individual pieces than an overall decorating themes, but as time has gone by the softening of these trends has caused them to be a staple in all aspects of each person’s individual tastes.
