A Bohemian Lifestyle

Bohemian life encompasses comfort, youth, beauty, free spirit.  When I
think of a bohemian lifestyle, I think of Chloe flowy dresses, pillows,
soft rugs, and sheer curtains.  The boho-chic style is one that speaks to the girl who appreciates comfort, country living, and meaningful company.  It’s an effortlessly romantic way of living where everything calls for a going back to basics without sacrificing style.  A very Brigitte Bardot kind of style.

Get The Look: Indochine Restaurant

Last week, to celebrate our wedding anniversary, my hubby, our precious little bundle of joy and I dined at Indochine, one of my favorite restaurants in New York City. This restaurant was established in 1984 and since then has been a favorite among the famous and world socialites. The food, a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisine, is exquisite-I personally recommend their Vietnamese Bouillabaisse – And the drinks are one only-enough reason to visit. But, every time I step into this place I get mesmerized by its decor. This is what I would call a perfect Tropical Luxury style. With its famous banana leaf wallpaper, black and white checkered floors, green leather banquettes and those perfect toned lighting sconces, set the mood to transport you to the one time French colonized, Indochine.

Here, you can see the banquettes with mirror above, with sconces in between. I thought it would be fun to imagine decorating a home with an Indochine influence.


Two versions of the banana leaf wallpaper. Sold here.

A really cool sconce that would give that smooth tone to any room, Red Padoga chandelier, and painted bench.

Sea Grass/Grasscloth Wallpaper

Sea Grass Grasscloth Wallpaper- interior designer showcases rooms with seagrass wallpaper
Naturally textured wallpaper such as Sea Grass or Grass Cloth, made from plant fibers can add glamor, texture and warmth to a space. It’s also a perfect way to hide those tedious wall imperfections. The fact that there is no pattern to be matched makes installation so much easier. I personally love it in a tropical environment (top second picture). Hang some photos or art and you’ll have a very cozy, warm space (top 1st picture). Below are a few more pictures showing different ways in which natural textured wallpaper can be used.
