2. Use Boho Prints to Ground the Space
No matter your bedroom aesthetic, a boho rug can instantly transform your space. In neutral bedrooms, a bold Oriental-inspired rug serves as the ultimate boho statement. For bedrooms that already have a lot of color and pattern, a neutral boho rug with woven details has a calming effect.
Another way to give your bedroom a boho upgrade is through artwork and wall accents. Select floral paintings or abstract medallion prints to fit the theme. Make sure to add warmth and texture to your walls with woven wall hangings or tapestries – staples of boho decor.
Lush green plants are a must in any boho space. In bedrooms, they convey relaxation, instill a sense of calm, and freshen up the air. Not sure about live plants? Faux plants work just as well to infuse your bedroom with notes of greenery.
In addition to plantlife, boho bedrooms can also benefit from lots of natural texture in the form of jute, bamboo, or wood accents. This bedroom features a jute rug and pouf ottomans along with rich wood wall paneling. These details add comforting tones of brown and beige in addition to cozy texture, allowing you to fully relax and unwind.
Boho and coastal aesthetics go so well together because they're all about natural textiles and breezy color palettes. Combine them in your bedroom with a blend of coastal and boho decorative accents. Use layers of crisp white bedding and pillows to achieve the perfect balance of boho-loving layers and bright coastal palettes.
Cultivate a relaxing reading nook with the help of a woven accent chair, butterfly chair, or papasan chair. You can even set up a chair hammock for the ultimate laid-back feel.
Bring boho style to your bedroom by introducing globally-inspired decor. Style a pouf ottoman, outfit your nightstand with a nature-inspired sculpture, or fill out bare spots on your bookcase with boho figurines, planters, or vases. This is a simple way to give your space a boho lift.
Feature woven chandeliers, pendant lights, or table lamps fit for a boho retreat. In addition to woven fixtures, string lights also have a place in boho bedrooms. Drape them over your headboard, across the ceiling, or in a designated corner for a bit of whimsy.
