The New Bohemians: Cool and Collected Homes

I have dozens of book on home decor. This particular volume is really lovely: good quality paper, lovely photography with lots of full-page pictures, and depictions of variations on bohemian style. If you prefer more neutral Bohemian-style rooms that consist of beiges, whites, and textures such as wicker and macrame, this book will yield some ideas but will generally be a bit colorful for you. I love the "Adopt an Idea" sections and the instructions for various home decor projects alongside the depictions of a number of residences. I also enjoyed the text highlighting features of the rooms.

ExcelleNt book! Great price for a hard cover! Awesome compilation of inspirational boho decor design ideas for 2020! The stories included in this book were written beautifully. Each home has a different boho flair. The author has a excellent “Boho” perspective is on point and makes the book an educational. In the book the author specifically highlights “boho” descriptions of different homes across the country including people who are living a modern bohemian life. She also has DIYs that will help you with your own ideas for your own modern boho style that rock! I really do love this book! It’s a go to excellent reference guide that I will be grateful to use for my own home. If you want to go boho or already have your own place decorated with your own ever evolving bohemian style then this book is for you! It gives you a great history of bohemian home decor art and style that teaches you how to incorporate it into your life today. Easy read includes great images and great ideas for a modern bohemian style. The author has written this book in a way that is that is educational and fun! Can’t wait to use the inspiration I received from this book for my own 2020 farmhouse boho styled home. I plan to return to this book as an artist myself as a reference for projects in my own home. Especially the absolutely darling and easy DIYS! Definitely a great buy for anyone who loves to decorate their home themselves. Thank you for reading my review! I hope it helps you decide to purchase or not.

Wow, what a gorgeous book. The description says author Blakeney features her favorite homes from "across the country"...but really most of the homes are in California and New York, with a small handful from Oregon, Texas, and New Mexico. No matter, though, because all of the homes here are phenomenal. The book is divided into six parts, each part covering a different bohemian style: modern, earthy, folksy, nomadic, romantic, and maximal. But, really, all the homes have a lot in common. They are playful, colorful, whimsical, and chock full of personality. Some lean toward minimalism and others are stuffed to the gills, but I loved each and every one. It helps, too, that the book quality and photo spreads are stunning--really vibrant and inspirational. (After reading this book, I've decided our house needs about twice the number of plants it currently has...) But I especially love how this book made me feel affirmed in our decision to decorate, furnish, and design our new home slowly. It takes time to build layers that are meaningful and reflect who we are. Sometimes I feel pressure to rush that process, since, hello, after a year in this house, we still don't have a coffee table in our living room... But now I'm feeling a little bit more calm and confident. I'm glad we are taking our time to find pieces that we love. At any rate, I loved this book. It is beautiful to look at and helpful to read. I know I'll be returning to it again and again.

We recently bought a farmhouse in upstate NY so we needed inspiration for decorating it. After some Internet search I purchased about 4 great books on home decor, and this one (The New Bohemians) has become a favorite. Through the book I got to find Justina Blakeney's blog. What I like about the book, which is a reflexion of Justina's personality, is that it has a self-confident and unique voice. This book is not only about houses and how they look, but about the people who live in them. That makes it special because houses are nothing without people. The New Bohemians is some sort of inspiration board for creatives. It's an invitation to be yourself and be fearless when it comes to making of your home an extension of who you truly are. Here is a line from the Introduction that I enjoyed: "It is my strong belief that wealth is not the key to having an amazing home and an incredible lifestyle - the key is inside you; it's your own creativity and being in an environment in which you're allowed to openly express it." I want to add that the book itself is a beautiful object. It feels nice and heavy in your hands (it weights about 3 lb) and it is about 8 3/4 wide, 10 3/4 tall and a little bit over 1 inch thick. The photographs (by Dabito) are gorgeous, as well as the endpaper design (by Monica Ramos). I recommend this book to the free-spirited type or person who appreciates beauty and creative expression. But I also recommended it to the uptight person who's a little bit afraid of expressing her/his own personality. You will feel inspired by the families featured by Justina. Thanks, Justina, for putting together this beautiful book and thanks a lot also to the people who shared their spaces.

Ich habe, bis jetzt, noch kein Interior Design Buch gefunden wo ich sagen konnte 'Das Buch ist Perfekt'. Aber dieses Buch ist es wirklich. Die Bilder sind unglaublich schön. Toll finde ich auch das es ein paar tolle DIY Projekte gibt, mit Vorlagen. Ich bin schon seit längerem auf der Suche nach einem Buch in dem ich Inspirationen finden kann, die auch wirklich umsetzbar sind und dieses Buch gibt mir genau das. Ich hoffe Justina Blakeney bringt noch mehr Bücher dieser Art raus (nur vielleicht nicht bald, ich muss erstmal meine Wohnung auf ganz Boho umstellen). Dieses Buch wird es nicht mal in mein Bücherregal schaffen, es hat seinen Platz auf meinem Couch Tisch gefunden. Absolute Kaufempfehlung.

Chegou no prazo e bem embalado. Livro lindo com impressão de muita qualidade.

This is my second book by Justine, the photos are amazing, the way she explains and inspires is wonderful. The book is laid at well and it's a design book you can't put down and will go back to time and time again. I am now searching if she has anymore. Fully recommend buying it.

This book is amazing. It give you a lot of ideas for a lot of different bohemian styles. It has also a lot of different diys that are beautiful and inspiring! I suggest it to who want to have ideas and inspiration for the house, or to who want to know more about the bohemian homes. Questo libro è meraviglioso, ti fornisce tantissime idee per un sacco di diversi stili. Ha dei diy che sono veramente belli e portano ispirazione. Lo consiglio vivamente a chi vuole avere idee per la propria casa o a chi vuole sapere di più sulle case boho.

This is a lovely tome. I really enjoyed snuggling up in bed when I had a bad cold and just getting lost in this lush book. Lots of inspiration, and just so lovely to read. I am a textile freak, so I was excited to see so many gorgeous pieces with new ideas for using them. I do kind of wish that sometimes they would choose more ordinary houses and show us how to make them look amazing though...all the houses featured have a head start in their amazing bones. It would be wonderful to see great things done with a Wimpey house or basic Vicky terrace like mine.
