Bohemian Modern: Imaginative and Affordable Ideas for a Creative and Beautiful Home

As with anything in design, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I was previously attracted to this look, so a whole book of eye candy is wonderful. Page layouts are great for poring over. I like the format - discrete elements of the style first, more examples in the second section.Finally, I respectfully disagree with one of the other reviewers that this book can be passed up for modern bohemians. While Justina blakeney's book is absolutely beautiful ( I bought it, loved it and gifted it) the two books are different. If you are into vignettes and beautiful corners, you will really enjoy this book. Blakeney's book includes more wholistic shots: each photo is zoomed out to include the whole room and the photos tell the story of the whole house. Some people may prefer that style. For me, zooming in on the little things offers a different kind of inspiration, with its own merit. Henson's book includes a lot of little corners to be recreated in your own home. I highly recommend this book.

I equally enjoyed reading and watching photos. Author beautifully tells about herself, her home, and other homes and owners she picked for this book. She also has a great sence of humor, I couldn't stop smiling while was reading this book. The book consists of several chapters, each is dedicated to one feature of bohemian style: textile, patterns, home plants, etc. Still it is a book about bohemian living style- being creative, think out of the box, rather than just about how to decorate the space in a certain style. I appreciate a big portion of text across photos explaining why certain combinations works so well. The homes shown in this book are all beautiful and with character.

This is not your typical coffee table interior design book--this is a reference book--replete with great photos and inspiration. Each colorful page invites you to pause and soak in the decor. I cannot put it away, I take it out every morning and look at it with my morning coffee. It makes me want to carry out the ideas set forth in this book. I am a fibre junkie and this book is all about textiles. Everything I love for a home is shown in this book.

I like this book very much - but I don't love it. It's a nice European (English?) point of view and some of the solutions are unique. What kept me from loving it was some of the photo views were a little shabby - not a favorite thing with me and some of the chapters are less informative than others. To be fair it may have been because it was information I already knew, being a designer and teaching the Bohemian style myself. It will remain in my library but I think there are better books about Bohemian interiors.

My husband and I recently retired, relocated, and had a house built—all daunting! Emily Henson’s book made the process of turning a house into a home so much easier. The photography is beautiful, and the styling and advice ring true—especially the idea of “creativity before consumption.”

Great descriptions of how to get your own home this fabulous vibe.Love all the books by Emily. Especially, “Life Unstyled.”Do yourself a favor and order it.

Awesome how to decorate book that is well made and has plenty of resources and beautiful pictures! I have a very bohemian eclectic style and this book went well with that particular style! I highly recommend! Im a beginner with decorative stuff and this book was easy to understand and follow. Love it!!!!

Book arrived as described by vendor. The photographs are beautiful and inspiring!! I never thought of using color the way they do! Nice.
