style [e]scapes :: Bohemian color palletes

As summer kicks in to high gear, here are six Bohemian color palettes to rock your out-of-doors. The modern Bohemia look is laid-back, worldly, comfortable and eclectic. It's influenced by many cultures and surroundings - everything from the tropics and jungles to the beach. There aren't any rules here, and the color inspirations range from bright and bold to neutral and warm. Enjoy!

Neutrals get a boost from bright oranges and vibrant greens creating a gorgeous two-tone palette.

Bohemian doesn't have to mean bright. Sometimes the best palette is a base of warm neutrals and fresh white.

A colorful mix of blues and oranges is perfect for creating a festive space!

Shades of red, pink and orange make for a very different palette than you'll see in most gardens.

While indoors, this palette may seem a bit masculine or dull, in the outdoors, surrounded by lush greens, it's perfectly simple and soothing.

For something right in between netural and bright, select muted natural colors like eggplant, mustard, olive green, terra cotta, and clay.
