Boho decor is a fun way to add relaxed character and cosiness to a bedroom design. The boho style is adaptable to many different kinds of base decor too, so you can always add a twist to a pre-existing Scandi-style space or a cool urban scheme. Despite its plethora of accessory options, the bohemian interior style is even suitable for minimalists. It only takes a few small additions to add a hint of bohemian flavour. Think natural materials, such as wicker baskets, rattan pendant lights, jute rugs, and wooden furniture. Add softness through an assortment of accent cushions and throws. Here are 51 boho bedrooms with ideas, tips and accessories to help you design yours.
Boho relief art. Whether raised from a canvas or created directly onto the wall, 3D relief art goes hand-in-hand with the textural bohemian aesthetic.
Spread boho style accessories evenly. If you don’t wish to go too deep with layering then space key pieces at regular intervals around the room. Handmade art over the headboard, a wicker pendant light, a boho bedroom chair, and a rustic planter are enough to instil a subtle essence without going overboard.

Create one focal piece. An archway acts as the perfect jumping-off point for boho wall decor. Paint the architectural feature in a warm beige colourway to contrast with a pale grey or white decor scheme, and hang a handwoven element at its centre.
If a new architectural feature isn’t in the budget, then consider a surface-mounted arch.
A hand-painted archway is a cheap and efficient way to hit the trend. You can accessorise with an arch-shaped mirror too.
Buy into the botanical theme. Indoor plants make perfect companions for the earthy boho look. Alternatively, you can opt for leafy art prints and wallcoverings.
As light as a feather. Boho decor schemes work well under all sorts of colour schemes, from dark and dramatic to colourful and joyous. However, there is something so very calming about a white, pale grey, or greige boho bedroom. This one employs feather decals to give the scheme an ever lighter, airier look.

The joy of jute. When it comes to boho rugs, it’s all about texture. A round jute rug makes a fitting natural base for the aesthetic whilst also complementing a curvaceous arched motif.
The power of the pendant. When choosing a light fitting, go large with a Bell wicker pendant to achieve visual impact.
If your budget won’t stretch to a large light fitting, a group of small wicker pendants can be easier on the pocket.
Hang a rug. Whether on the floor or the wall, a handwoven rug can instantly transform a boho bedroom colour scheme.
Thnk outside the wicker basket. Just because wicker pendants are leaders in boho bedroom decor, that doesn’t mean you can’t opt for a more chic bedroom chandelier. This tasselled light fixture works elegantly with understated wooden furniture and pretty botanical prints.
Anything goes. Industrial accessories, rustic feature walls, or farmhouse ceilings. Anything goes in the world of boho.
Uber chic with boho sprinkles. This elegant bedroom design merely hints at the bohemian trend. Indoor plants soften the focal wall between contemporary pendant lights, whilst wooden tables add character around a modern floor lamp.
Nearly neoclassical. This boho bedroom scheme is layered against panel moulding to give it a classical elegance. A dark green paint finish beautifully ties the two aesthetics together.
Make sunshine with yellow ochre accents. This warm hue makes cheerful contrast with natural greenery and black anchors.
Slats and stripes. The wood-slatted interior trend melds easily with the boho natural material palette. Add a striped bedroom rug to exaggerate the linear effect.
Take it to the floor. A low-level platform bed or floor bed design conveys a relaxed look.
Raw and rustic. You may think that raw concrete decor is synonymous with the industrial decor trend but it’s a friend of boho too, Team with rustic light-fittings and furniture to warm the visual.
Of course, you’re not limited to only raw wooden furniture with this trend. An upholstered bed has a softening effect on the scheme – and won’t hurt so much if you walk into it at night!
Feel free to exaggerate. It’s not always nice to exaggerate but when it comes to statement light fittings then we’re all about it.
Reshape a Scandi-style space. Clean-cut Scandinavian decor schemes make great vessels for layering in the boho look.
In this minimalist boho Scandi setting, it’s all about the plants
A stage for awesome finds. This split-level bedroom design forms a plinth on which to display a bright bed set and boldly underline a set of incredible bedroom pendant lights.
Black boho bedrooms. Out of the comfort zone for some, the black bedroom aesthetic is dramatically dreamy. You don’t have to go all-out though. Just pick one or two accent walls to turn up the intensity.
Pieces with personality. Source handmade or shapely items to give your space a unique personality, like this extraordinary end of bed bench.
Layer stripped wood floors with a multitude of rugs in different sizes, comfy floor cushions, and woven poufs.
Don’t miss an opportunity to add texture and detail. Even a simple bed throw becomes elevated with a tasselled edge.
Renter-friendly boho decor. If you’re renting your home, you might be limited from putting up wall decor and changing light fittings. Instead, source lightweight pieces that can be mounted with Command strips, or bring in a boho screen for a freestanding solution.
Fairy lights can make almost any space into a cozy bedroom. Wrap them around the headboard, a mirror frame, or string across the ceiling for instant magic.
Blue boho. Break out of the land of neutrals with a royal blue focal wall. This deep hue makes a rich companion for natural wood, cane, and wicker furniture.
Sky blue accessories make a soothing combination alongside cream stucco walls.
A masterful master bedroom. Create a commanding presence with colossal light fittings. These pendants are paired with corresponding coloured bedside tables, creating a white pairing on one side of the room, and brown-black counterparts on the other.

Boho bedroom sets. Not all furniture has to be mismatched or upcycled to fit this laid-back theme. Wood and cane bedroom sets fit the profile too. You can always add a little relaxed asymmetry with a strip of wall panelling, wood-slatting, or a large macrame wall hanging.
Another sophisticated boho theme with symmetry. This time with dainty pedestal side tables, mini bedroom pendant lights and wall art.

None of us can afford to overlook the importance of healthy sleep habits. So, if your current quality of slumber leaves something to be desired, you’d do well to address this problem post haste. Although there are a variety of reasons for which people have trouble sleeping, the cause(s) of your troubled slumber may lie in your choice of bedroom furnishings. If you’re looking to improve the quality of your sleep, here are some practical ideas to try.
There’s no denying that high-quality mattresses often represent expensive purchases. And due to the inherent desire many of us have to spend as little money as possible at all times, we tend to cheap out when it comes time to purchase new mattresses. In our minds, price reigns supreme and comfort is purely secondary. However, while this approach to mattress shopping may result in short-term savings, it can also pave the way for years of overnight discomfort.
Since you’ll be living with your choice of mattress for quite a while, it’s imperative that you put genuine thought into this purchase. The next mattress you invest in should flawlessly suit your height, weight and general comfort preferences. And while you shouldn’t have to break the bank to purchase a good mattress, you’ll also need to avoid going into ultra-frugal mode. A mattress is more than a quick one-time purchase – it’s an important investment in your long-term overnight comfort.
Comfortable Pillows
Although pillows tend to be smaller-scale purchases than mattresses, you should approach pillow-buying in a similar manner to mattress shopping. Like a mattress, your choice of pillow can have a considerable impact on your night time comfort levels, and purchasing pillows solely because they’re inexpensive is unlikely to generate favourable results. So, when seeking out new pillows, look for ones that provide your ideal level of softness (or firmness) and solid support. Furthermore, people suffering from acid reflux, back pain, GERD and various other afflictions can benefit from a good wedge pillow.
Getting up in the middle of the night can cause considerable problems with your sleep schedule, especially if you tend to have trouble falling back asleep. While there’s no definitive way around having to use the bathroom overnight, there is an important step you can take to avoid getting up for other things – investing in a spacious nightstand. A nightstand that’s large enough to hold any and all items you may need throughout the night can help ensure that you’re able to complete overnight tasks in a timely manner and promptly resume your sleep session.
For example, if you often get up for a drink in the middle of the night, purchase a nightstand that’s large enough to hold a water bottle. Similarly, if you have to get up to take a pill, look for a nightstand that provides ample space for any medications you may need overnight. The longer you’re up and about, the harder getting back to sleep is likely to be, and the right nightstand can ensure that any deviations from your nightly respite are short.
Seasonal Bedding
If you live in an area that’s prone to extreme seasonal temperatures, it’s important that your bedding choices reflect this. Sleeping with the same bedding year-round stands to leave you uncomfortably warm throughout the spring and summer months and uncomfortably chilly throughout the fall and winter months. So, if your bedding doesn’t currently change with the seasons, there’s a good chance that this may be contributing to any overnight discomfort.
During periods of warm weather, your sheets and comforters should be made up of light, breathable materials. On the flipside, your cold weather bedding should be composed of materials that are thick and adept at heat-retention. Needless to say, your choice of sleepwear should meet similar criteria.
Good sleep quality will serve you well across every area of your life. From helping you operate efficiently at work to providing you with abundant energy for assorted everyday tasks, a peaceful night’s rest can go a long way. So, if your current sleep quality could use some improvement, there’s no time like the present to get a handle on the issue. To this end, make sure to consider the furnishing choices discussed above.
What could be better than winding down the day with a great book, snuggled up against a plush upholstered headboard? But the advantages of an upholstered headboard don’t just stop with comfort.

In this post, we’ve collected stylish headboards from across the web – from traditional tufted headboards to modern minimalist headboards, to retro mid-century designs and every style in between.

Today, I would like to talk about mirror sliding wardrobes. My husband and I have always lived in fairly small homes. We live in one of the most expensive parts of the UK where house prices are astronomical and granted we could move elsewhere, but we love where we live. The compromise however is owning a smaller home than we would like.
So over the years, we have had to find clever ways to make the most of the little space that we do have. One of the first changes that we made was opting for wardrobes with sliding doors for our bedroom. At the time, we didn’t choose mirror sliding doors and now I wish that I had. The added benefits of having mirrored doors would be a very worthy investment and I am now considering adding mirror panels to our wardrobe doors to get the same effect. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, right?
So why are mirror sliding wardrobes such a great option? Let’s take a look at some of the benefits that they offer.
1. They Take Up Less Space
A traditional wardrobe with hinged doors needs considerably more space than a wardrobe with sliding doors. You need to factor in the space required to open the doors and this will inevitably eat into the floor space that you have available.
When you have a small bedroom and space is at a premium, this may not be desirable or even practical. Sliding doors can allow you to save space and have a better flow of traffic around the room without having to negotiate around open wardrobe doors.
2. They Can Make a Small Room Feel Larger
Because wardrobes with mirror sliding doors can reflect back what is in the rest of the room, they can help to create the illusion that the room is bigger than it actually is. The mirrored doors can basically trick the eye into thinking that the room extends further than it does due to the bouncing reflections.
3. They Can Make a Room Feel Brighter
In much the same way, mirror sliding wardrobes can help to make a room feel lighter and brighter. The mirror effect will help to bounce any available natural light around the room helping darker corners to feel brighter. For the best effect, try placing the wardrobe either opposite or adjacent to the window so that it can capture as much natural light as possible.
An alternative strategy is to place the wardrobe in such a way that it reflects the view outside of the window. In this way, it helps to create a feeling of inviting nature indoors which as we all know is good for our mental health and wellbeing. The added advantage is that you don’t need to take care of the greenery as it’s outside and takes care of itself. This of course only works if you have garden or countryside views out the window. It’s not quite the same if it’s a highrise block opposite.
4. It is a Practical Choice
Choosing wardrobes with mirror sliding doors is also a very practical choice. In addition to the benefits mentioned above, there is obviously the fact that there is no need to find wall space for a standalone full-length mirror. The fact that the mirror is on the wardrobe door also makes it much easier to choose your outfits as you can immediately assess what looks good and goes together without having to move away from the wardrobe.
Retrieving your clothes from inside the wardrobe is also easier as there are no swing doors getting in the way.
5. They Offer a Modern Aesthetic
When it comes to style, a mirror sliding wardrobe works particularly well in a contemporary or modern setting. The minimalist design and sleek aesthetic mean that this style of wardrobe can be incorporated into many styles of room. There are usually myriad finishes and colour options to choose from too meaning that selecting an option that works for your home couldn’t be easier.
So what do you think? Have you chosen mirror sliding wardrobes for your home? If so, was it due to the benefits discussed here or another reason? What do you like most about them? Let me know in the comments below.
