Like all great fusions, the boho-Scandinavian design style takes the best of both aesthetics—the Scandi sense of beauty in plainness and the bohemian propensity for bold free-spiritedness—and blends them into an artful mashup of pared-back and delightfully undone interiors. Like the midcentury design style, Scandinavian design, too, is characterized by clean lines, minimalism, accessibility, and functionality (and it arose during the same era), but the Scandi style takes an "unencumbered living" approach that goes hand in hand with the colder Nordic climate and the desire to be at one with nature. Bohemian design, although outwardly opposite with its focus on global eclecticism and bold colors and patterns, similarly celebrates inclusivity, comfort, and the love of nature.
