It doesn’t matter if you call it boho or bohemian—a boho bedroom is a welcoming, unique home decor idea. Bohemian bedroom decor projects a casual vibe and tells the story of your past and present. 

Natural materials play a big role in bohemian style. A boho chic bedroom layers different colors, multiple textures, repurposed furniture, and cultural decor into a quirky, meaningful space. Scroll through our top boho bedroom ideas for inspiration on creating your own boho inspired retreat.

1. Coastal

Coastal and boho decor share some of the same clean, casual design elements. White beadboard walls convey a coastal cottage theme; adding woven window shades increases it. Decorating with nautical and travel themed accessories brings up memories of favorite beach vacations.

Look for a simple driftwood table and accentuate it with seashells from your journeys. While a white wall background is ideal, splashes of blue, sea green, grey, and sand all add to the coastal boho ambience. A large faux palm plant and perhaps a sea glass vase teeming with cattails are natural elements that bring you back to the sea.

2. Dark Boho

Although a light, airy color scheme usually comes to mind at the word “boho,” dark bedroom decor can also create a stunningly boho chic bedroom. Paint an accent wall behind the bed a dark shade of blue or grey, and include the color in some of your textiles.

Deep chocolate brown is a beautiful idea for a dark color that adds depth when added to the lighter shades of brown and beige found in natural materials. Black and white is another brilliant duo for conveying a clear boho message, especially when it’s accentuated with a bright color or two.

3. Wall Decorations

Boho wall decor is not the kind of style that forces you to go out and spend a lot of money. In fact, quite the opposite is true.

Although you may want to invest in a stunning wood bed frame or a perfect boho accent chair, reusing things you already own is a key bohemian decor element. However, since bohemian interior design has evolved into a more contemporary air, salvage pieces that are in good shape.

Your boho bedroom is the perfect place to repurpose grandma’s vintage headboard, or your uncle’s army footlocker. Raid older relatives’ garages and attics for new-again pieces from the 1970s and 80s. Their bright colors and retro style make them fun additions to a boho room.

4. Eclectic Boho Decor

The word “eclectic” means deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources. It’s an ideal adjective to describe bohemian style. Although boho decor is eclectic at its core, you can increase it by adding an animal print duvet and a multi color throw pillow collection.

Distressed furniture, pompoms, tassels, and baubles are all whimsical additions to eclectic bohemian style. Don’t be afraid to integrate various cultural fabrics and tapestries, mixing different patterns together. Hang playful fairy light strands over the bed and use them as a nightlight.

5. Minimalist Bohemian Style

Boho decor involves combining many elements into one design style. On the surface, that sounds like the antithesis to minimalist decor. But it is possible to merge the idea of minimalism with a boho vibe. 

A simple color palette is key to making boho bedroom ideas minimalist. Stick with white, cream, and other earthy natural element color choices. Add texture in your rug and bedding choices.

One way that boho style is the opposite of minimalism is in how many objects you should have in the room. Many people are drawn to boho decor because it allows them to show off collections in a fun, playful way. But collections and clutter cannot exist in a minimalist space.

6. Modern Boho Look

Modern is always a good addition to keep a boho bedroom looking elegant. It just works so well with natural boho design elements. When your walls and rugs are white or cream-colored, it makes it easier to add lots of interesting paintings and wall shelves.

7. Neutral Tones

A neutral background is a helpful clean slate for building boho bedroom ideas. Splashes of bold color are appropriate in a boho bedroom space, but they aren’t necessary if you prefer the calming vibe of a totally neutral room.

Whatever neutral foundation idea you have, see it as a rainbow of values. For example, choose a cream color wall paint, a beige duvet cover, light wood furniture, brown and white striped pillow shams, and dark bronze metal accents. You can do the same with grey, going from pale cloud grey to deep charcoal.

8. Boho Rattan Decor

Rattan is made from thin, flexible palm reeds woven together to make baskets, furniture, fans, and other interior design elements. It’s a perfect addition to boho room decor, along with its similar friends, wicker and raffia.

A rattan or wicker headboard adds a perfect natural texture to your boho bedroom, especially if paired with a matching chair. Although you don’t want to go overboard with rattan, oversized rattan fans and pendants make for chic boho wall decor.

Use rattan baskets to display house plants. A large monstera plant, with its huge glossy leaves, is a beautiful contrast to its woven container.

9. Rustic Boho Decor

Rustic style centers around wood finishes, exposed brick, and organic materials. Stone and metal also show up frequently in rustic design. When combined with boho bedroom ideas, this focus on natural elements takes on a romantic, eclectic vibe.

For example, you’d never see lace in an exclusively rustic space, but it is most definitely at home in a rustic boho bedroom. A metal woven basket is a classic rustic accessory. But fill it with flowers, and you cross the line into making it bohemian fabulous.

10. Boho Bedrooms for Teens

Teenagers love bohemian bedroom ideas because they reflect their own diverse thoughts and their emerging wanderlust. Teen-inspired boho bedroom ideas are usually the most whimsical of all, incorporating fun accessories from their younger years.

A teen boho chic bedroom can be all at once mature and playful. The beauty of going with a boho bedroom design idea is that parents can incorporate certain sensibilities while their teen embellishes them with unlimited creative touches.

11. Urban Jungle Boho Bedroom

Traditionally, an urban jungle referred to a large city metropolis packed with buildings, apartments, and businesses. When applied to home decor—and particularly bohemian style—an urban jungle is a city dwelling teeming with house plants. 

A home’s boho urban jungle could be located in the living room, kitchen, master bedroom—or every room in the house. Plants are the ultimate natural materials for giving life to a home, and collections of them greatly increase the peaceful style embodied in boho decor.

If you’re not great at keeping plants alive, modern faux plants look stunningly realistic these days. Extend the green vibe with leaf and flower prints on fabrics and wall art. Hang trailing plants from macrame hanging baskets and train the tendrils to frame your window or door.

12. Warm Colors

Warm colors are always a good bedroom idea when you’re creating a boho space. Terra cotta, dusty rose, and gold are good choices for creating a warm and inviting boho bedroom. Cayenne, rust and dark pumpkin are other trendy warm hues that add a spiciness to the bedroom.

Pair them with creamy off white instead of bright white, and choose wooden furniture that has a warm finish, like maple or cherry. Add a splash of them in your blanket and pillow cover choices, mixing and matching patterns to keep to that eclectic boho aesthetic.

13. All White Boho Bedrooms

White is always a good foundation to keep a boho bedroom from looking cluttered. Its clean simplicity just works so well with natural boho design elements. When your walls and rugs are white or cream-colored, it makes it easier to add lots of interesting textures.

An all-white or all-cream boho bedroom is an elegant, contemporary take on classic bohemian design. Instead of adding splashes of color, add splashes of texture in the form of flokati rugs, chunky knits, macrame wall hangings, and rattan furniture.

In a boho space, it’s also okay to mix white and cream together, especially if you add slightly darker touches, like pale wood furniture or light grey textiles. You will still get the vibe of your all white space but the range of hues will add depth to your design.

Unlike the other rooms in your home, your master bedroom is all yours to do with as you like. Love the color purple and want an entirely purple room? Go for it. Is it the height of trending interior design? No, but that is ok. Decorating ideas are suggestions but not the rule for your bedroom. Ultimately, your bedroom should be a reflection of who you are and your sense of style and taste. It should be your sanctuary where you can escape and recharge. These bedroom ideas will help you create a perfect space for you.

1. Soothing Neutrals: Embrace Calm & Simplicity

Your bedroom is the last place you see when bedtime comes and the first vision in the morning. Decorating it to your tastes is a joy! One of the most creative aspects of decorating your bedroom is choosing bedding that speaks to you.

Try something unusual, like a bed with a dimpled headboard or bedside lamps with a warm glow. Make sure bedsheets and bed throw pillows match for an inviting space and don’t forget about adding some colorful wall art for an extra creative flair.

2. Wall Art Inspirations: Elevate Your Bedroom Walls

Your bedroom walls should be a reflection of who you are and what you love. Hang art on the wall that speaks to you. Arrange pictures of people who you care about most. The decor should bring you peace and joy.

Hang a mirror on a wall to make the space feel bigger and brighter during the day. Just make sure it does not directly face the bed. You can paint the walls a relaxing blue, gray, or green color if you own your home. These are calming and soothing colors that will create the perfect environment for relaxing and sleeping.

3. Ceiling Designs: Draw Eyes Upward with Unique Ideas

Modern bedroom design ideas embrace the idea of decorating the ceiling. A bold approach is to paint the ceiling. You could continue the color of the walls up to the ceiling for a uniform look.

Another option is to pick a complementary color. If a colored ceiling does not suit your style, consider adding decorative trim. This could be something as simple as a modern molding around the outside or a drop tray ceiling panel. Or you could opt for something elaborate that channels the decorative trim you would see in traditional Victorian homes.

4. Vintage Elegance: Dive into Shabby Chic Ideas

Creating a chic bedroom is about embracing current trends but also not going over the top. Pick a few trends that coordinate together and create a contemporary design that feels fresh. If you want to create a chic design style in your bedroom, start with your bed.

Replace your old and tired bed frame with a light wood frame and upholstered headboard. The bed frame should have ornamentation, but not too much. Completely lacking carvings or design will look too modern, while too much will look too traditional. Additionally, you can make a big impact with the light fixture you choose. Look for one with a decorative design or unique shape.

5. Whimsical Kids’ Rooms: Spark Imagination & Fun

A kid’s bedroom should be a fun space to be. Instead of choosing boring and bland bedroom furniture, choose furniture that is a fun color or quirky design.

Instead of decorative pillows in delicate fabrics, choose fun pillows that reflect the child’s interests. Do not buy wall decor, have your child do fun DIY projects that you can then hang on the wall. That way, they can take ownership of the design of their room. As they get older, they can update the decor with new projects or choose their own decor.

6. Illuminating Ideas: Perfect Bedroom Lighting Solutions

You need more than one lighting source in your bedroom. Ambient light, usually a light centrally located in the ceiling, will illuminate the entire bedroom. This light is good for daytime and general use. You should also add task lighting. This is a more focused, directed light that you add to workspaces. Common places for task lighting include the nightstands, desks, and vanity.

Finally, the last type of lighting to add is accent lighting. You can look at small bedroom ideas for inspiration on where to add it. You could add accent lighting underneath the bed or illuminate the ceiling.

7. Urban Retreat: Loft-Style Bedroom Designs

Create a loft-style bedroom even if you do not have a loft. This modern bedroom idea creates more usable space in your bedroom by lifting the bed high enough to create a usable space underneath.

You can buy a bed frame that’s tall with a built-in closet or desk underneath. If you do not like the idea of having a visible desk prominently placed in your bedroom, you can add doors or curtains to the loft frame. Close off the desk space when not in use so that it creates a divided separate space.

8. Masterful Retreats: Luxurious Master Bedroom Ideas

The master bedroom is usually the biggest bedroom in the home, giving you more space to work with. This lets you choose a larger bed frame. It could have a broader or longer stance or a structure that is more solid for a more visually imposing setup.

If you have a large enough bedroom, you could add a canopy bed. There are modern options from home decor retailers like West Elm and Pottery Barn. These modern designs have straight lines and minimal ornamentation, helping them feel fresh and not overly stuffy like traditional designs.

9. Creative Paint Ideas: Transform Your Space with Color

Choosing the right color scheme is essential for turning your bedroom into a relaxing space where you can get a restful night’s sleep. This is why blue bedrooms are so popular. Blue walls create a calming space that lowers stress levels and encourages sleep.

Choose a paint color that isn’t too bright or vibrant. The wall color should be soothing, so a pale blue or a darker shade are good choices. If you are not ready for an all blue room, you could just paint an accent wall.

10. Greens in the Bedroom: Incorporate Nature with Plants

Adding plants to the bedroom is a popular bedroom decor idea because they add natural color and a sense of calm. Choose the right plants, and they can also improve the air quality by increasing the amount of oxygen, helping you sleep better. Plants also work with any interior design theme.

A larger fiddle leaf or palm in a large floor pot can look elegant in a corner. Draping vines can look bohemian. A blooming plant looks cottage or farmhouse chic. Choose a pot that’s in the style of your bedroom to further the design and decor of the room.

11. Twin Bed Layouts: Stylish Rooms with Double Bed Ideas

If you have a dedicated guest bedroom in your home, it can be useful to add two beds instead of one. This creates more functionality in the room by increasing the number of individual sleepers that can use the space. If it is a small room, you can limit the other furniture in the space.

Instead of multiple bedside tables, you can have one placed between them with two table lamps, similar to the setup that you see in hotels. This reduces the amount of floor space that the furniture takes up to allow enough room to move around.

12. Quirky & Playful Designs: Add a Splash of Fun

If you are looking for a creative way to spruce up your bedroom, light blue walls and peach furniture could be just the ticket. Blue is said to promote thoughtfulness, so light blue walls will set a tranquil tone in the room while the light peach furniture injects a dose of warm energy.

A light blue and light peach combination creates the perfect balance between coolness and warmth that can help transform any bedroom into a stylish haven.

14. Blast from the Past: Nostalgic Bedroom Themes

Create a nostalgic atmosphere with stunning floral curtains, accompanied by pastel beddings for an elegant yet cozy look. Don’t forget to add some life to the ensemble by placing soft potted flowers on the bedside table or accentuating the space with feminine details like ribbon laces and scented candles. When it comes to bedroom decorating, the possibilities are endless – so don’t be afraid to experiment and explore until you find the perfect look that’s all yours!

Closets are nice for adding additional hidden storage to your bedroom. But to make the most of this additional space, it needs to be organízed. This means doing more than having a shelf or two or a hanging rod. Everyone’s needs are different, so consider your clothing and accessories collection along with your organizational style when upgrading your closet. Check out these bedroom closet ideas and turn your closet into a useful storage space in your home.

1. Install A Built-In Sliding Door Closet

Consider customizing the interior with shelves, drawers, and hanging rods to create a tailored storage solution that suits your specific needs and keeps your bedroom clutter-free.

2. Add Multi-Purpose Drawers

The drawers can serve multiple functions, such as storing folded clothes, accessories, or even shoes. To optimize organization, use drawer dividers or inserts to keep smaller items neatly separated and easily accessible.

3. Consider Bottom Storage For Kids’ Access

Low shelves or cubbies at the lower portion of the closet are perfect for kids to reach their toys, games, or shoes without assistance. Additionally, you can label or color-code these storage areas to make it easier for children to maintain order and find what they need.

4. Recessed Door Closets

Recessed door closets typically feature sliding or folding doors that don’t intrude into the room when opened, making them an excellent choice for smaller bedrooms. You can customize the interior with shelves, hanging rods, and drawers to suit your storage needs while maintaining a clean and unobtrusive look in your bedroom.

5. Invest In A Walk-In Closet

Investing in a walk-in closet is a luxurious addition to any bedroom, offering ample space for organizing and displaying your wardrobe. This type of closet typically includes a combination of hanging space, shelves, drawers, and even a dedicated area for accessories. Consider adding built-in lighting to make it easier to see your clothing and accessories.

6. Get Aesthetically Pleasing Organizers

A closet with aesthetic organizers is a great way to liven up any bedroom closet. Not only is it visually pleasing but also keeps your wardrobe organized and in one place – no more searching for outfits!

7. Add Functional Seating In Your Walk-In Closet

A comfortable bench or ottoman can serve as a convenient spot for trying on shoes or outfits, making your daily dressing routine more enjoyable. It also provides a space to sit and plan your outfits or put on accessories. Choose seating with built-in storage to maximize its utility, allowing you to stow away items like extra linens, seasonal clothing, or accessories, keeping your closet neat and clutter-free.

8. Diversify Shelf Height For Custom Storage

If you’re looking to maximize your bedroom closet’s efficiency and style, modular shelves are a great solution. By adding modular shelves, you can easily achieve an organized and neat look by separating items like clothing, shoes, accessories, etcetera.

You can have taller shelves for hanging longer garments like dresses and coats, while shorter shelves are perfect for folded clothes, shoes, or smaller accessories.

9. Choose White For A Clean Look

White not only brightens up the space but also creates a sense of openness and cleanliness. It serves as an ideal backdrop to showcase your clothing and accessories, making them stand out. White also pairs well with various materials and textures, allowing you to incorporate different design elements seamlessly.

10. Organize Clothes By Season

By categorizing your wardrobe into seasonal rotations, you can keep your closet tidy and make it easier to find what you need throughout the year. Store out-of-season clothing in labeled bins or storage containers on higher shelves or in a separate storage area.

11. Store-Bought Organizers For Empty Closet Space

Look for a variety of organizers such as hanging shoe racks, cubbies, and stackable storage bins that can be easily installed or placed on shelves to create additional storage compartments. Clear plastic bins are particularly useful as they allow you to see the contents inside, making it easy to locate specific items.

12. Designate Space For Footwear

Use shoe racks, shelves, or cubbies to keep your shoes organized and easily accessible. To prevent clutter and ensure your closet stays neat, consider organizing your footwear by type, such as sneakers, dress shoes, and boots. Shoe racks or clear, stackable shoeboxes are excellent choices for keeping your shoes visible and in good condition.

13. Walk-In Closet Island For Small Accessories

These islands can be equipped with drawers and compartments to keep jewelry, belts, scarves, and other small items neatly organized. You can use velvet-lined drawers for delicate jewelry, hooks for hanging accessories, and shallow trays for watches and sunglasses.

14. See-Through Closet For Easy Access

Opting for a see-through or transparent closet system can significantly enhance the accessibility and organization of your bedroom storage. Clear or frosted glass doors for your closet allow you to quickly spot and access your clothing and accessories without the need to open each door.

15. Camouflage Your Closet

To achieve this, consider using the same paint or wallpaper as your bedroom walls for the closet doors, making them appear as part of the room. Alternatively, use mirrored closet doors to reflect the surroundings and create a visually spacious effect.
