Did you catch our first post in this series of sustainable home decor for every style? First, we covered the artisan home decor trend–you know, the one with playful colors, lots of natural textures, and some minimalist accents. Next up, another favorite of mine is bohemian decor, and I know it can come off as super trendy and not necessarily something that comes off as classic, which could turn any ethical shopper off from buying into. However, if your style leans bohemian season after season, there are definitely ways to get that laidback, free-spirited vibe with pieces that will last longer and turn more heads than your average department store finds.

Besides the ninety thousand other arguments for purchase sustainable home decor when outfitting your abode, I’d say that one major reason is that you are bound to curate a look that’s entirely yours. There will always be trend, but finding handcrafted and slow-made goods to personalize your look means committing to finding and investing in objects that truly represent your style. Plus, the more you shop slow-made, the more you start to realize just how much every. single. thing. you find mass produced is influenced by (or straight up stealing from) an original artist, designer, or craftsperson. It’s jarring!
Back to bohemian home decor. I find my personal style being more of a mix of the artisan home, eclectic thrifted goods (so many quirky finds I try to incorporate in an otherwise fairly reserved space!), and a few boho pieces for added flair. I’d love to incorporate a little more of this look, if I could!
Stay tuned for the next in this series, where we talk modern goods for the sustainable home.
