JUSTINA BLAKENEY RUGS
As a New York Times best-selling author of The New Bohemians and The New Bohemian Handbook, Justina Blakeney is known for her wild bohemian designs.
With over 2 million followers online and her passion for color, pattern and plants, Justina Blakeney and her blog have become the go-to source for bohemian design. She believes that creativity is the key to having an amazing home and decorating is about feeling free, having fun, and getting a little bit wild!
Justina's design philosophy includes her belief that good design increases quality of life. She loves vintage, organic and handmade materials and things that tell a story. As wild as her designs may seem, they're also very homey, giving people a fun but comfortable feeling.
Jungalow
A jungle and bungalow combined make a Jungalow! It's what Justina Blakeney calls her brand that embodies her own home aesthetic: wild but cozy. It is also the name of her award-winning design blog where she shares daily inspirations, how-to's and ideas on to live with color, pattern and plants, inspiring people all over the world to get wild and free with their home décor.
To make her own Jungalow, she mixed handmade items from all over the world with the sleek lines of modern design, sprinkled with some tropics and a whole lot of plants. For Justina, her Jungalow isn't just about the beauty of the design, it's all about the vibes. A room can look beautiful, but if the vibe is off, no one wants to hang out there. Creating an environment shouldn't just be about look, but about creating a feeling within that environment that makes people want to be there.
The New Bohemians
New Bohemians are creative individuals whose lifestyles are rooted in freedom: free spirit, free-form and free of rules, applying these attitudes in every aspect of their lives, including design. Designing with rules sounds like no fun, so get a little crazy and live the new bohemian way.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes when it comes to design. Living in a space with no decorations or color is just depressing. Create a space that reflects your personality, desires and dreams, allowing your best self to flourish, feeling relaxed, creative, inspired, and whole.
New Bohemians are flexible. They straighten up and let loose, reflect and rearrange, and juggle patterns, plants and colors to create a space for living, loving, dancing and dreaming.
There is a deep connection between home décor and well-being, meaning you can create your own space that makes you live better, more efficiently and more happily in your own home. Justina believes that objects made with love, care, and good materials bring those qualities with them wherever they go.
