Living a bohemian lifestyle partially means surrounding oneself with various unconventional and artistic items and features and having a unique home filled with various interesting decorations. A predilection towards DIY projects is often implied. But what might a bohemian DIY project refer to or look like to be more exact? We’ll try to answer that question by offering some examples.

Regular picture frames won’t do if you want your home to look bohemian. You can however quite easily change that by decorating the frames with macrame and tassel trim. It’s very easy to do and all you need to do is glue the trim onto the frame to cover it all while leaving the glass intact. You can make matching pictures frames or add a unique design touch to each one. Check out akailochiclife for more details.
