Boho Bedroom Decor

What is Bohemian Bedroom Decor?

Bohemian style (also called boho) is characterized by its love of natural textiles, natural elements, and color. It’s a very whimsical, sometimes eclectic design style that is flexible enough to shift and form unique, personal rooms.

How Can I Make My Bedroom Look More Boho?

• Mixed patterns
  • One of the best ways to decorate your space with bohemian bedroom decor is to add in tons of patterns. Aztec patterns are one way to go, but there are also a million and one other pillows that incorporate colorful designs that fit well with boho. Since one of the key traits of Bohemian style is to collect items along the way, it makes sense that nothing would be too “matchy.”
• Layering of fabrics
  • Boho is a casual, cozy design style, so layering your fabrics adds that level of comfort. Not only can you layer your pillows and throw blankets, but you can even layer rugs beneath the bed or elsewhere in the room. 
• Natural textures
  • If you’re looking for quintessential boho bedroom decor, natural materials like jute, rattan, and light colored woods are great ones to start with. They convey the light, airy feeling of boho style and its love of the natural. 
• Plantlife 
  • Speaking of natural, boho style thrives with plantlife. Whether it’s a plant in the corner or a hanging plant, adding flowing greenery to the design practically screams “boho.”
• Wall Art/Hangings
  • Of course, adding artwork is a great way to establish any design style, but with boho, it presents added opportunities to hang things like macrame and rugs on the wall. Bohemian is a versatile style, and so there are unlimited ways to decorate the walls with wall art and hangings to establish the mood. Modern boho loves abstract artwork, while traditional boho leans more towards eclectic paintings. 
• Personal Items
  • Bohemian style at its core is about collecting items that mean something to you and then using them as decoration. As easy as it is to go to the store and buy wall hangings and pillows, boho encourages you to become a collector of personal items and decorate your room with them. It doesn’t have to all be personal, but adding in those items that are meaningful to you makes the room that much more special. 
  • Pops of vibrant color
  • Any form of boho decor, including bohemian bedroom decor, has a love of colors. 

What Colors Work With Boho Decor?

A lot of the traditional colors that you see in subdued boho are tans and creams, and then for accents, earth tones are often brought in through rusted reds and forest greens. However, teal is another popular color, and so are reds that lean into the pink family. With boho, it’s not so much about which colors are acceptable--it’s more about how you use them. Traditional bohemian style tends to go bold with painting colors on the walls, while a chic boho works with a neutral base and adds in the pops of color in its accents and artwork. 

Is Boho Decor Going Out Of Style?

Boho definitely isn’t going out of style anytime soon. Its key principles are timeless: it features tons of texture, plantlife, and pops of color in a neutral space. Those key details of boho style make it timeless, versatile, and customizable.
