Bohemian Modern by Emily Henson explores the elements that come together to create this eclectic, colourful, and contemporary look. It draws inspiration from an array of real-life Bohemian Modern homes.

The Bohemian Modern home is a place where creativity, individuality, and a bold mix of colour and pattern meet in a modern environment. Whitewashed walls and polished concrete floors come to life with vibrant rugs and wall hangings. A cosy rattan chair suspended from the ceiling and a jungle of house plants—clustered in pots, hanging from the ceiling, or even growing on the walls—add to the aesthetic.

The style nods to '70s chic, using shagpile rugs, Swiss cheese plants, and macramé, while maintaining a contemporary edge by boldly contrasting these elements with sleek modern art and polished concrete work surfaces.

Emily begins by examining the different facets of the look: pattern and colour, textiles, handmade pieces, living with houseplants, and collections and display. She offers styling tricks to use at home and timely ideas for recycling and reuse.

Next, a series of case studies provide an inside look at free-spirited and creative homes and the people who live in them. From a restored barn on the coast of Morocco to a former parking garage in the Netherlands converted into a flexible family live/work space, Emily illustrates that any home can adopt the Bohemian Modern style.

Bohemian Modern is a fantastic new edition of the previously published title of the same name.
