Achieve the boho bedroom of your dreams.
A bohemian lifestyle is laid-back and unconventional, enriched by travels around the world and immersion in artistic scenes. Composed of objects with influences from different cultures, accents with visible handmade artistry, relaxed shapes, and gorgeous layers of texture and color, bohemian decorating reflects the bohemian lifestyle. But you don't have to be a world traveler or a famous artist to adopt bohemian-style decor in your own home. Our eighteen boho bedroom ideas should give you enough inspiration to turn your bedroom into a free-spirited oasis.
In a more traditional bedroom, two patterns might clash and disturb the balanced look of the space, but in a boho-style bedroom, clashing is welcome. Bohemian bedrooms are often characterized by eclectic combinations of patterns from different places around the globe. With the right neutral base colors, patterns will look right at home on your rugs, blankets, throw pillows, bedding, wall art, and more. Above all else, consider incorporating a bold, colorful pattern on your area rug. Think about researching patterns' origins and familiarizing yourself with different cultures' textile weaving techniques before you buy, so with each purchase you can feel a little bit more globally connected.

Wall hangings are a staple of bohemian decor. The key characteristic you want to look for when shopping for wall art is a handmade quality. While the wall hanging you ultimately choose doesn't have to be handmade, a handmade appearance will contribute to the relaxed, eclectic look of the space. You can also try your hand at making your own wall hangings – macrame wall hangings, made of decoratively knotted macrame string, are super easy to DIY!

Tassels, pom-poms, fringe, thick knits, knots, and other textile textures all have a place in bohemian decor. When it comes to textile texture, there are no rules. You can layer just about anything to create gorgeous intrigue. Throw pillows and throw blankets are great places to put texture on display, but you can also do so on wall art, rugs, and even accent furniture. As you can see in the above boho room idea, the layered throws and textured pillows give the bed an eclectic, well-loved appearance.

The light fixtures in boho bedrooms can often be the most eye-catching details in the whole room. Laid-back table lamps and beautiful candlesticks, both placed on the floor, can give the room a down-to-earth vibe, while a stunning chandelier emphasizes the intricate beauty of the space. Instead of choosing a crystal chandelier, opt for a beaded or geometric metal one.

As you may have noticed in the other boho bedroom ideas so far, striking headboards play a huge role in bohemian bedrooms. In the boho room idea above, notice how the natural material of the woven headboard tones down some of the more rigid lines and clean finishes in the rest of the space. Turn your bed into a boho throne by searching for a one-of-a-kind headboard that will add texture and detail to your space.

Yes, despite the emphasis on eclecticism and layered patterns and textures, boho bedrooms can support minimalism! With the right added elements, like the textured quilt, knit pouf, decorative objects, and colorful throw pillows, you can give a minimal space a boho twist. Plus, a hanging chair like the one in the boho bedroom idea above will become your new favorite place to relax.

Hard lines and rigid backs have no place in a boho bedroom. When picking out accent chairs and other furniture for your boho space, look for relaxed silhouettes. Instead of going with a more modern armchair, opt for a butterfly chair or plush papasan chair. We also recommend keeping an eye out for accent chairs with a handmade quality, like the woven one in the bohemian bedroom idea above.

Plants are a must-have accessory in bohemian bedrooms. Plants, with their gorgeously dynamic intricacies, can be nature's way of adding texture and life to your boho space. Not only are they beautiful, but they can freshen up your air and give your boho bedroom some character. And here's a bonus tip: artificial plants can be just as detailed and beautiful as real ones, so if you're worried about taking new lives into your hands, opt for faux!

Take advantage of anywhere you can incorporate bohemian decor into your bedroom… like your windows! Putting up bohemian-style window treatments not only accentuates your style, but also blocks the sun and gives your room more privacy when the treatments are closed. To elevate your bohemian bedroom, opt for treatments that include earthy greens, browns, blues, or oranges and a mix of boho patterns, such as wildlife (like in the picture above).

Do you fit more of a minimalist boho style? Then opt for black accents in places such as window frames, bed frames, and lighting. The subtle inclusion of black provides a nice contrast to the lighter colors in this boho vibe, which really makes your room pop and look complete.

The bohemian aesthetic is all about celebrating life in its simplicity and fullness that it often ties in nature and natural elements. Because of this, you can style your belongings in a “messy” way that’s actually design-specific to this aesthetic. As in the picture above, style a textured rug with layered bedding and floor poufs next to a packed bookcase of all your favorite bohemian accents, like faux plants or elephant figurines. This gives the room lots of eclectic layers and ways to showcase this aesthetic’s staples in your boho bedroom ideas that you can make your own.

Psst! Your bohemian room ideas don’t have to just be greens and browns – they can include pops of color! Blues, pinks, and oranges are all vibrant colors in the bohemian color palette that easily match the greens of this aesthetic’s greenery or its neutrals. Blend these colors together for an eclectic take on the style for a space that showcases your personality within the boho realm.

Make a statement in your bohemian bedroom with an accent wall. Bohemian wallpaper creates a focal point in your room that encompasses the aesthetic with its colors and patterns. Accent walls serve as decor since they cover a large surface area that can pair beautifully with the other walls and the color theme.

Tapestries are a simple way to use wall decor for your boho bedroom. Tapestries fit the boho theme because of their layering and inclusion of bohemian designs and patterns that are full of cultural elements. Their colors are also full of warm hues that fit in the bohemian color palette and unconventional lines in their designs embody the casual vibe of boho style.

Because of its earthy browns and natural texture, wooden furniture is a must for boho room ideas, especially in the bedroom. The dark color allows other elements of a bohemian bedroom to pop, such as plants, creams, or whites of your walls and bedding while also providing a texture element from the grain. Not to mention, dressers are bedroom essentials for their storage space to house your clothing or other belongings. Pair your dresser with a mirror and room accents for a complete space.

Since they are warm colors, pink and green are staple boho room colors. They balance each other out nicely while the green warms the room and pink softens. This classic pairing can be used in your boho bedroom ideas in a variety of ways. To really highlight the aesthetic, choose for green walls (like in the pictures) that are either solid or contain a design from green boho wallpaper. This creates an earthy base for the room that then pink boho bedding, a bed, or accent chair can accentuate further as the soft pop of color the room needs.

Continuing with colors, grounding your boho bedroom in one dark color, such as blue, is another way to showcase your boho bedroom ideas. This warm color allows you to convey a moody vibe that instantly sets the stage for your room and is a unique take on the aesthetic since it diverts from the traditional greens, oranges, and browns in this style.
