Boho Walls

August 24, 2012 by Jane F 3 Comments

boho walls - wall in and english dower house decorated with magazine pages - WOI via AtticmagPainted, pasted up or wallpapered, boho walls are fancifully embellished. Why not?

For the past year I’ve been clipping out lush photos of plants, flowers and other objects to the end of inexpensively framing magazine pages for a picture wall. One of my original inspirations was boho walls and specifically, the  hallway of an English dower house [top], home to a famous 20th century gardener and photographer, Valerie Finnis, and her art-collector husband Sir David Scott. Extremely quirky and cluttered, the pages were simply pasted on the wall, slightly overlapping, just below the original servants’ bells.

One thing I never understand – but frequently see – is a chandelier over a bathtub as I always imagine dust bunnies drifting down into the bubbles or an even worse disaster scenario. Yet the hand-painted garden effect makes this the quintessential cottage-y bath.

boho walls - Jason Wu's atelier with newspaper print wallpaper - Elle Decor via AtticmagA more formalized hodge-podge wall was created for the atelier of rising fashion star Jason Wu as a backdrop for his prized rough-hewn wood table (where he worked on Michelle Obama’s inaugural ball gown). The solution was a boutique Elizabeth Dow wallpaper which depicts pages from the famously salmon-colored New York Observer newspaper. More sophisticated than actual newsprint and certainly tidier, wallcovering offers yet another approach to highly individualized, artsy walls that speak for themselves.

    […] Boho (short for Bohemian) is a catchall term that moved over from fashion to interiors. The boho walls I wrote about back in August had a more informal look that this trio, fished from Pinterest where […]
