Millennials have gained an obsession to style their bedroom with bohemian decor in recent times. Giving a boho makeover to the most important room of the house has become a trend to express one’s free-spirited personality and preferences for embracing artistic pursuits. With a bright and minimalistic approach, and the fusion of vintage with contemporary, people have successfully made their bedrooms stylish and dreamy affairs.
Rooting back to the mid-20th century counterculture movement, the bohemian interior design era emphasised free expression and a rejection of traditional norms, which reflected the love for vibrant colours, eclectic mixes of patterns and textures, and an appreciation for handcrafted items. There are a lot of similarities between Bohemian interiors and Persian interiors with the former taking inspiration from the latter in terms of vintage and travel souvenirs. The earthy elements, whimsical details, and symbols can transform a simple bedroom into a boho one. Here are seven bohemian decor ideas for the bedroom.
Bohemian Bedroom Decor Ideas
Rich And Earthy Colours
The primary idea to transform the bedroom into a boho mood is to add a warm and earthy colour palette. Colours like deep purple, rich orange, earthy browns, and soft greens can evoke a sense of mystery and connection to nature. One can opt for peach-coloured cotton curtains or wall hangings to set the mood.
Layered Textiles
Add layered textiles to the bedroom for a boho makeover. Add multiple blankets, throws and pillows to the bed, each having different patterns and textures. There is always an option open to mix and match fabrics like cotton, wool and silk having vibrant colours and global patterns to create a cosy ambiance.
Rattan And Wicker Furniture
Incorporate these furniture pieces to achieve a perfect boho bedroom look. Choose a rattan headboard, a wicker chair or a woven bench at the foot of the bed for the bedroom. These natural materials of furniture add texture and warmth to the place.

Colourful Rugs
Woven, shaggy or colourful rugs can tie the entire boho bedroom together. Consider rugs with intricate patterns like Parsian or Moroccan designs. Layer the smaller rugs for added texture and visual effect. These rugs provide warmth to the place.
Eclectic Lighting
Lighting always plays an important role in bohemian decor. A mix of floor lamps, table lamps and string lights is a perfect way to create a boho mood in the bedroom. Opt for fixtures with interesting shapes and materials such as brass, wood or woven rattan. Besides, Moroccan lighting or a beaded chandelier adds an exotic touch.
Add Plants
One of the main criteria for boho decor is including greenery and the best way to achieve it is by adding plants. Incorporate a variety of indoor plants like succulents, ferns, and trailing vines into the bedroom. Use macrame plant hangers, vintage pots, and woven baskets to display them. These plants add a natural element and also improve air quality.
Personal Touch
Experiment with one’s personality by displaying art and personal collections. Try hanging framed prints, photos and dreamy paintings that reflect the boho mood. Decorate with items like pottery, sculptures and trinkets. Make the bedroom by adding a personal and unique touch.
