12 Key Elements of Hippie Decorating Style

Hippie style, stemming from the counterculture of the 1960s, is more than just tie-dye and lava lamps. It is an eclectic blend of several styles. Like its design cousin boho, hippie decor incorporates many natural elements, but it is often more maximalist than boho. The use of Middle Eastern, Moroccan and Native American patterns in bold colors gives it a global flare, while the use of vintage pieces (from no particular era) touches upon the grandmillennial trend. Unexpected tchotchkes, unusual souvenirs and layers of fabrics and patterns are to be expected in a well-curated hippie space. Nature was also big to the counterculture movement, so any good hippie room will include many plants (a bit of jungalow style too!) and items made from naturals materials like geodes, bamboo and wicker. Here are the key items you need to include in your hippie space.
