Bohemian décor is one of the most popular types of interior décor. It’s simple, comfortable, and very good looking. Charming and relaxing, this type of décor makes any room look like a paradise on earth. Though there are no strict rules when it comes to this type of décor, some things always remain the same. Boho bedrooms are usually full of warm tones, plenty of textures, and different patterns. All of these details come together in a perfectly coherent way and bring a unique and gorgeous bedroom. With a quality bed, some vintage pieces, and a good rug, you’ll have a boho room from your dreams. However, there are plenty of other things to include. Here is how to equip your boho bedroom!
Paint the walls
First things first, you should start by painting the walls. Before you get to that, however, you should decide on what kind of atmosphere you want to achieve. That will help you pick the right colour and tone. As there are no rules, you could pick literally anything. However, it is important to keep in mind that this colour will set the whole mood in the room later on.
For instance, if you want to go for a Scandi boho style and make it all white and neat, you should definitely paint the walls white. On the other hand, if you want it warm and earthy, you could pick some beige or sea-shell shades. Make sure that the shade you pick is natural, neutral, and relaxing. That will allow you to build your dream room easily!
Pay attention to window treatments
The next important thing you should pay attention to is the window treatment. For this, you should pay attention to your wall colour. For example, if the walls are white, a simple white curtain might be just perfect for your boho bedroom. This simple approach to walls and windows will leave you room to make the most from the rest of the space and get creative.
On the other hand, you could always make your curtains more interesting. For instance, you might get some gauzy curtains in light pink. Another great idea is getting curtains with cute tassels. When getting drapes, you should pay attention to the wall colour, room size, and potential drape pattern. As long as all of these factors match up, your drape will look perfect!
Add touches of wood
The right combination of colours and materials is just enough to create a boho bedroom. For instance, combining white and brown tones can do wonders. You can further endorse this combination by introducing some wooden features. Wooden accents will be perfect when it comes to making a room more boho-like.
This is the best way to break the simplicity of all white without risking losing that boho vibe. You could have wooden accents on the floor, on the bed, on the nightstands or on the bench next to the bed. Make sure to pick the most suitable details for your room. You could even go for some wooden window treatments and make them both beautiful and practical.
Grow some plants
The next thing that will make your bedroom heaven on earth is a large number of plants. There is no better way to invite life and freshness into a room than investing in some green. The more plants, the better the room will look. You can place them anywhere. For instance, you could put some on the window sill, on the shelves, on the furniture, and even on the floor.
If possible, you should hang some plants as well. They will ensure your good mood and they will keep the air in the room fresh and clean. However, you should be careful when buying plants. Check how much light there is in your room and get a plant whose maintenance you’ll be able to do properly. Then, get a floating shelf and fill it with rich plants!
Get a bohemian bed
The focus of your boho bedroom will be the bed. That is why you should pay special attention to this feature. When it comes to the material, you should always go for wood and rattan. Keep the shapes organic and colours light. If you have an antique or vintage bed, this one will look great in your bedroom. Instead of a headboard, you could have some tapestry put up.
Mixing different types of furniture is a great way to make your room come together. For instance, having a single vintage piece might look amazing; whereas having a whole set might make the room look older. Make sure to get an adorable bedside table or a wooden dresser and find the perfect combination with your bed.
Find the right bedding
Speaking of bed, you shouldn’t just purchase the bed and think that you’re done. Buying the right bedding is as important as finding a good piece of furniture. The main thing about boho bedding is that it is supposed to look “undone”. That means that you shouldn’t worry about creases and untucked sheets. Its main purpose is to look and feel comfortable.
A linen duvet cover might be the perfect way to this intentionally “undone” feel. As they wrinkle easily, they will quickly make an impression that you were just napping in them. As long as the duvet is thick and warm, you’ll create a perfectly inviting boho room. If the bedding is longer than the bed, don’t worry. That will further enhance the look you are going for.
Accentuate with pillows
A boho bedroom is all about layers. The more ways you find to layer the room up, the more inviting it will look. Pillows are great for these purposes. Next to the Moroccan wedding blanket or a tasselled piece, a pillow will quickly make your bed (and the whole room) more comfortable. The pillows are perfect if you feel like experimenting and getting creative.
You can go for a couple of big pillows and smaller ones. Make sure to get them soft and luxurious. This is the perfect way to bring colour into the room as well. You can get a single statement pillow in a rich shade and get the other in some more neutral shades. You can also play with the materials and patterns. Let your imagination run wild and find those perfect pillows!
Pick a rug
Another piece that will bring layers to your boho bedroom is the rug. This is a must-have and it’s bound to make your room even more adorable. You’ll have to get at least one rug. However, you might like the idea to put more of them. Several smaller rugs could also look pretty good in this type of room. Purchasing a Persian, Moroccan, or jute rug is the best way to start equipping your bedroom.
You can start by putting one rug under your bed. Make sure to check out the size of the room and the size of the bed. You don’t want to mess up with this and make your room seem smaller and crowded. Instead, you want to make it larger and more comfortable. Having several rugs overlapping is a great way to do this, as long as their colours match.
Put up some artwork
Bare walls are a poor idea when it comes to boho rooms. They may seem cold and distant and that is the last thing you want in the perfect bedroom. Instead, you should make sure to dress the walls up. You can hang anything – artwork, personal photos, or even hats. Anything could be your display of art! When it comes to art, some large scale artwork is always a good idea.
If you want to put up some photos, you can create a cute gallery wall. Make sure to pick out all your favourite documented memories and put them together on one of your walls. If you don’t want pictures, you can put anything else on the wall. For instance, you could create a display of your jewellery or some old cloth you have around the house.
Light it up
Finally, you should deal with lighting in the room. While natural light is ideal for this type of bedroom, you should think about other types of lighting as well. For instance, having a gorgeous chandelier is a great idea. It’s large, luxurious, and it can go perfectly with your queen-sized bed. The pendant light is another great idea.
A woven or rattan pendant light is exactly what a boho room needs. A warm bulb will finish the look perfectly and make all of your hard work pay off. You’ll get a seemingly effortless boho room and it will be properly lit. Armed scones are a much better idea than table lamps. In the end, add some lanterns or string lights to create a more intimate atmosphere.
Conclusion
There are plenty of details to work through before you get to your perfect boho room. However, this design is worth all the hassle as it looks flawless in the end. As soon as you’re done, you can relax in your new charming bedroom!
