BOHEMIAN STYLE: INSPIRATION FROM SHAKESPEARE AND COMPANY

Bohemian style? It’s one of the most eclectic and laid back of all. In this form of design, pretty much anything goes. It’s a style that embraces creativity and excitement while allowing your artistic side shine through. But before we start diving into Bohemian style, let’s talk about Bohemian spirit. How does one define Bohemian spirit?

What first comes to mind for me are the literary greats of the lost generation, a term coined by Gertrude Stein and popularized by Ernest Hemingway. This was a group of artists who became ex-patriots and left to create their own literary revolution in Paris during the 1920’s. This group included greats such as Hemingway, Stein, T.S. Eliot, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The heart and soul of the lost generation literary movement can be seen today at the bookstore Shakespeare and Company, which is situated right in the middle of Paris.

While Shakespeare and Company stands for a literary movement, their beliefs have taken on a very indistinguishable style inside the store. The main color the store embodies is a dark green, and statues that are very eclectic in style. The stores main purpose is to showcase the books, which range in every theme from the poetry corner to the lost generation corner to the rare book collection they carry upstairs. Needless to say, it’s a haven for any book lover.
