It takes a special mind to appreciate a boho bedroom. With an array of colors, prints, natural materials, and textures, bohemian design pushes all boundaries. Among all decor ideas, boho style is one of the most fun to create from the ground up.
If you’re looking to add a freakafide reading nook or hang wall art, we’ve curated a comprehensive list of examples that will inspire you. All you have to do is close your eyes and throw away preconceived design rules that you may have.
This list of bohemian bedrooms from our team of design experts will inspire your next makeover. You’ll learn everything you need to know about interior eclectic design and how it applies to the boho aesthetic.
What Is Bohemian Style?
The bohemian style is the antithesis of order and control. It’s about eschewing organization and perfect structure for carefree sensibilities featuring layers, brighter colors, different shapes, textures, and patterns.
While there are common qualities associated with the bohemian look, unlike modern or minimalist styles, with boho design, there are no rules. Another thing people like about bohemian design is that most boho bedroom decor items can be found at your local thrift store.
How To Achieve The Bohemian Aesthetic
There are three things to focus on to achieve a boho vibe in your home: colors, furniture, and decorations.
Colors
While there are no restrictions in bohemian decorating, you should use as many colors as possible. You’ll notice that certain colors are more popular, like metallic and earthy tones.
Consider greens and deep browns as the foundation hues, then embellish with vibrant purple, flaming orange, and electric blue. The way colors are combined and layered is what distinguishes this style.
Bohemian Furniture
One of the most notable characteristics of the bohemian style in interior design is that inviting feel. Whenever you step into a boho room, it feels welcoming.
Bohemian furniture is found at a thrift store or online. Because these rooms are packed with furniture accumulated through time, second-hand and vintage things fit nicely in. Every furniture piece must be unique and convey a message.
With the right couches and chairs, a bohemian room can be created to suit your needs. Floor pillows and throw rugs will help create an inviting ambiance for floor seating. Furthermore, while a boho space should evoke a sense of warmth, you can forget about sleek furniture pieces.
Boho Decor
Boho is the polar opposite of simple. It adheres to the “more is more” attitude. The secret to mixing and matching decorative items in a boho environment is to experiment. Natural materials will come in handy.
Also, burlap and sisal are organic fabrics that blend with chenille and silk. Pillows, drapes, and throw rugs all work together to create a cozy, culturally inspired hangout.
Bohemian Vs Hippie
With fashion, it’s about the clothing. These garments will primarily fall under the casual category. Thus, nobody would instantly adopt a hippie or bohemian look, unless they were attending a themed party.
Boho Chic Look
Let’s go over a few nuances of the boho chic style so you’ll be prepared to infuse them in your living spaces.
Good: Rustic Finishes
The boho-chic look has a strong hippie influence. The influx of accessories made of natural materials, including the likes of rattan, wood, or hemp, is common in boho-chic interior decor. Consider woven wall art, macrame plant hangers, sisal area rugs, leather footstools, or a stylish ladder.
Bad: Too Much black
With the boho look, there is no room for black. Even with furniture, use light-colored wood that features wild patterns. Dark wood is sophisticated, but the great thing about bleached wood is that it screams anarchy.
Good: Go Global
Given the heritage of boho culture as a celebration of roaming artists, global-inspired home accessories are critical in a bohemian-inspired room. Buddha sculptures, Moroccan lamps, and tribal prints from India contribute to the cosmopolitan look.
If you’re fortunate enough to travel to exotic locations, look for beautiful souvenirs that can help you create an ethnic-eclectic feel in your home with authentic pieces.
Bad: Crazy Patterns
If you’re stuck, try selecting an overarching color palette and working within it. Violet and gold, for example, or rust and blue, or red and mandarin. Remember to provide a resting space for your eyes as well; otherwise, visual overload can occur.
Therefore, if you have a large vibrant rug, keep the base furnishings very simple with only a splash of accent color that complements the rug’s bold color statement.
Similarly, you could drape a tapestry with a large burst of colors for your sofa. Maintain a neutral sofa and blend the tapestry’s colors into whatever throw pillows you choose for the room.
Good; Subtle Seating
The boho ideology is all about unwinding, unwinding, and unwinding. Floor cushions, leather poufs, plush ottomans, and bean bag chairs are all excellent low-level sitting alternatives, as they urge guests to sit and stay awhile.
Bad: Lighting Mixture
String lights, lanterns, eccentric chandeliers, and candles are stylish options. You may mix and match light sources, natural fiber pendants work best with the bohemian style.

Now that you know more about the bohemian style, let’s check out the latest boho bedroom designs.
