A spirited style with a long history, a boho aesthetic traces its roots back to the French bohémiens of the nineteenth century — artists, writers, actors, musicians and other creatives who disregarded social constructs and were often nomadic. It wasn’t until the 1960’s that the style’s aesthetic origins began to develop, with hippies drawing inspiration from the free spirits of generations past and emphasizing bright colors, vintage finds, mismatched pieces and natural materials in their decor. Draw inspiration from the Ellington model at McLean and discover the must-have furniture and accessories needed to recreate this vibrant and dynamic look in your own home.
