If you find yourself asking, what exactly is gypset?, that's perfectly normal, as it's a new design concept and trend in the fashion and interior design industries. Those that live according to the gypset lifestyle are seen as modern-day jet setters, soaking up cultural customs and social norms around the world and bringing those influences back to their home. They might even change location a lot, finding themselves as expats in several countries within one year. 

Design-wise, it's a more luxurious and high-end version of a Bohemian mix – one that we've featured here at homify quite a few times. By collecting items from around the world, and having an innate sense of style, gypsetters are the new trendsetters for 2017. Below is your essential guide to the modern gypset style – and we hope you feel inspired. 

Luxury at its finest

Luxury comes first when it comes to a gypset life. This doesn't necessarily mean that every item needs to be costly, but it does mean that every item entails a story, a story of travel, luxury and comfort. 

This living room is a perfect beginning to the gypset interior design style – plush pillows and fine accessories, topped off with a grand chandelier (or two!).

Colour, colour… and more colour

Similar to the Bohemian lifestyle, the gypset concept should include influences from around the world and also those that are natural, so a great splash of colour is a must. You can easily complete this look by means of a great paint job, or some fantastic wallpaper that makes the job much easier.

Colour can also be added by means of wall art collected from various trips, flea markets and estate sales!

Refurbished treasures

Don't do away with the old when trying to accomplish a gypset interior design scheme. The old should absolutely always be included, yet refurbished to its original integrity. 

So, if you find yourself in an older home, take care of those features that are naturally original to the home and employ them into your new design scheme, rather than replacing them!

Chandeliers are a YES

A huge must are chandeliers. Notice in the first living room example that there's a chandelier in the living room, as well as the dining room. Scour flea markets, antique markets, worldly markets on your travels and even second-hand stores to find the perfect chandelier for your home at minimal cost. 

If you want to add some colour to your chandelier, simply find old jewels or fashion-jewels and add them to the bottom of your chandelier for a new and personalised look.

The details make or break the look

Those that adhere to the gypset style will also understand the importance of being informed and educated on new design trends. In order to do this scour magazines, blogs and social media accounts that keep you up-to-date. Homify sets interior design trends and every year we release the Pantone colour trend alert – have a look!

Worldly luxury

Lastly, once you've added all of your travel treasures and favourite local designers to your home, step back and ask yourself if youv'e truly accomplished a feeling of worldly elegance and luxury? By using luxurious fabrics (plush velvets and high pile rugs) and an extravagent and unique light fixture, you can easily make this happen similar to this Parisian salon. Do you think the modern gypset style is something you better understand or would be able to accomplish in your home? Remember, it's all about what you prefer at the end of the day, after all, it is your home!

A sense of luxury doesn't always have to look so dramatic. Here are some great industrial-style luxurious homes to check out!
