“The Bohemian version of a dimmer switch is fabric—shawls and scarves thrown over a shade. This method may also be used to alter the color of the room to, say, rose or yellow. For special occasions, Bohemians bring out the colored lightbulbs. Pink, red, blue, yellow, amber, black. It would not be unusual to find black-light posters of Jimi Hendrix in the Gypsy/Psychedelic Bohemian home, as well as a Lava lamp bubbling away in a corner.”
