David Harbour's modern Bohemian living room is an inspired reimagining of this '70s design trend – 'sometimes you just need to stop worrying about what goes with what'
David Harbour's home is a riot of personality and character – and it is so easy to recreate with one-of-a-kind, eclectic, and mismatched pieces


The Bohemian home – once a mainstay of 1970s decor – is a space where creativity, individuality, and a wild mix of color and pattern meet in a contemporary environment. This nostalgic aesthetic is having a very modern renaissance, and we are here for the revival.
American actor David Harbour's New York City living room is the epitome of modern Bohemian style. The space had remained untouched since the 1970s, but rather than resign this iconic design era to the history bin, the plant was to modernize and restore the Bohemian living room to its former glory.
Instead, to transform this industrial relic into a warm, livable home, Harbour enlisted designer Kyle O’Donnell of Gramercy Design. Together, they embarked on a comprehensive renovation that honored the building's history while introducing modern comforts.
The result is a harmonious blend of old and new – a serene sanctuary that reflects Harbour's personal style and offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Modern bohemian style is a fresh, curated take on the free-spirited bohemian aesthetic, blending eclectic charm with clean, contemporary design.
It’s all about layering textures, earthy tones, and natural materials (think rattan, jute, linen, and wood) with modern silhouettes, minimal clutter, and neutral backdrops.
You’ll often see soft, organic shapes, global-inspired patterns, and greenery paired with unfussy furniture, metallic accents, and open, airy spaces.
