13+ Inspiration of Van Life Hippie Bohemian Style Ideas

RV Renovations can be a fun project to do but it’s also a big responsibility.

I’ve seen some poorly done renovations turn into nightmare scenarios that will cost you money, time, and stress.

Hippie Bohemian Style or Boho style renovations is no exception. So, don’t let this happen to you. To give you a leg up, here’s an idea of a few ways to get things started.

But before getting directly into the renovation ideas, first, let us discuss things in detail.

What Is Bohemian Style?

Bohemian design is a representation of the artistry of those who appreciate the texture, patterns, colors, and motifs of nature.

Many people take a more is more approach, but you can do bohemian however you want.

The key is mixing, matching, and exploring; incorporating trinkets from your travels; and crafting a comfortable and meaningful space.

Is Bohemian Style Layered?

There are layers to the marriage of bright patterns or a combination of neutral textiles.

Think blankets thrown over a ladder against a wall, a beaded pendant hanging from a wooden beam, and patterned rugs over reclaimed floors.

You don’t have to stop with just one item. They don’t have to match if you use as many as you want.

What Can I Use in Boho Style?

A bohemian style mixes cultures and artistic expressions into an eclectic style with a focus on organic elements and nature.

It is highly encouraged to mix patterns, metals, woods, materials, animal hides, and trinkets from your travels when creating a bohemian-style space.
