On Madison, your ever intrepid observer, is devoting the next few blogposts to Spring 2015 design trends. It may be cold outside, but we’ve got Spring fever already.

This Spring, channeling that inner hippie is hotter than, well, your vintage platform shoes. Valentino, Prada, and The Row, among other haute couture designers, are reviving the look with enough lace, fringe, ruffles and embroidery to make any girl feel like a wild child. But going Boho, whether in fashion or home décor, is tricky navigation. Done well, Boho is meant to be an independent-minded, freestyle mix of cultures and eras. Done poorly, it ends up being a costume party and looking like you got lost in a Moroccan souk.

On Madison has assembled a collage of Bohemian looks that manage to hit the right balance between free-spirited ethnic style and modern edge.

Love the mix of a vintage suzani used as a table throw, animal print upholstery on the chair, and African inspired tables. Photo via completelytotallymadly.

Julian Schanbel’s home in NYC. Pink wingback chairs, black and white check floor, and layers of patchwork rugs give this room an ethnic but elegant feel.

A Louis IX style chair, re-upholstered in African mud cloth for a fresh approach to a classic style.
