Sure, minimalist spaces are beautiful and elegant, but there’s just something missing about them, especially when it comes to bedrooms. Sleeping rooms should be cozy and warm—places that encourage relaxation and even hedonism, and there’s no better way to promote both of those than with a Bohemian design. Want to learn how to turn your boring bedroom into a chic Bohemian paradise?
Here are some tips to follow…
Mix and match patterns and colors
You might think you know a few fool-proof tricks for matching and mixing patterns and colors, but make sure to forget them before you start decorating your Boho space. Bohemian style doesn’t do well with rules, so feel free to experiment and be yourself. Matching florals and paisleys with tribal patterns looks surprisingly interesting. Clashing colors can also look amazing if you know where to stop—even though the Boho decor style is maximalist, it doesn’t mean you can overburden the space.
Go wild with textures
Textures rule in every Boho space. Even if you don’t like a super busy space and overly bold colors, you’ll achieve that interesting and cozy look with textures. Luckily, textural interest can be introduced into a space in various ways: Think baskets, terracotta planters, macramé wall hangings, shaggy rugs, wood furniture, books…The good thing about textures is that if you notice you pushed things too much, you can always pair things back and create a space you can relax and fall asleep in.
Add a few bold touches
Boho style is bold and daring, so make sure to look outside the box when it comes to accessories and decoration pieces. If you love the mysterious and witchy vibe, add some interest and spookiness to your bedroom with unique Skull Bliss art. Their pieces look very traditional yet modern which is everything Boho decor is about. Combine your skull art with a few interesting prints and you’ll have a perfect accent wall in your bedroom.
Don’t forget books
Bohemian style is very cultural and there are no Boho spaces without art and books. If you’re a book lover, feel free to fill your bedroom with rows of books and they will look right at home in your space. No shelf space? Stack your books on the floor and achieve that coveted chill and effortlessly chic look. You can even use piles of books instead of your boring nightstands—it’s a great upcycling idea. Books equal good vibes, so welcome them to your bedroom!
Add some relaxing seating
Your bed is probably the most comfortable spot in your home, but don’t let it be the only seating spot in your bedroom. Boho bedrooms are not only for sleeping—they are safe havens where you can escape from the world. A low-level armchair or a corner filled with throw pillows will make your space perfect for enjoying a good book or a short meditation session and fully embracing boho decor.
Green up the space
You won’t find a Boho room that has less than three plants. While you don’t have to imitate what others do, plants are a must-have when it comes to Bohemian design, and for all the right reasons. The green color is very relaxing, plus, your green friends will supply your bedroom with fresh air without toxins which is ideal for a good night’s sleep. And don’t hesitate to go big and exotic with hanging plants and large palms. If you’re aiming for a desert look, cacti will look amazing in your bedroom (just keep them away from your bed to prevent accidents).
Now, all you need to do is add a few cute light sources (fairy lights and lamps) to illuminate your Boho spaces and get ready to spend some seriously relaxing moments in your chic bedroom. A space that’s filled with good vibes will bless you with happiness and health for sure!
