The bohemian or boho look is one of the most unique design styles because it’s an expression of yourself and your personality. Your room has a story to tell, like your travels and good memories. Decorating with boho design is also somewhat easier to do because you don’t need to overthink about matching your décor or the elements of your room; all you need to do is have fun and be creative in mixing them. There’s no limit to whatever you want to include in your bedroom; it really depends on you!
Boho is mostly described as a nomadic, wanderlust-traveling, and unconventional style, so it doesn’t look stiff or structured. It also gives a relaxed and easygoing atmosphere. Lastly, you don’t need to have a major renovation to have a cozy boho bedroom! We’ll show you how in a while.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this page.

Are you excited? Then let’s first talk about the key elements of a boho style.
KEY ELEMENTS OF A BOHO STYLE
Boho style element #1. Macramé
Macramé is the art of tying knots or cords together. I absolutely think that macramé is one of the style elements that sets a boho room apart from other designs. It can add flair and texture, and make your room so unique. Just look how the large macramé tapestry of Mel from crazy.beautiful.living becomes the head turner in this room.

Boho style element #2. Moroccan designs
Here are some photos from Morocco!
Morocco is a country in western North Africa situated near the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Boho design is widely influenced by Moroccan culture and architecture: you can see a lot of reclaimed wood, beautifully designed mosques, colorful fabrics, and intricately designed and arched doorways.

Wood and rattan/wicker are also popular elements that create a natural boho look in a room. Their shapes, details, and curves are beautiful so they usually serve as decorative pieces. Later on we’ll share more on how you can use wicker to decorate your boho room.

Boho design is about indulging in one’s wanderlust and being free. Thus, the presence of plants in your room creates a feeling of taking the outdoors in with you.

Boho style element #5. Lots of colors
Different bright and bold colors always look good along with various patterns and shapes. For example this ultra chic boho room by my.bohemian.nest used green, teal, coral and earth colors for its wall décor, wall baskets, pillows and beddings which all look great together in a boho room.

Items dating back many years give an eclectic feel to a boho room. You can find many nice vintage stuff at your local thrift store. This lovely boho room in Marrakesh, Morocco features a collection of items that gives it an authentic Moroccan-boho ambiance . I particularly like the round tray on the table beside the bed. What vintage item would you like to add in your bedroom?

Boho style element #9. Mix diverse design styles
If you like Scandinavian (or other designs) and boho for your bedroom at the same time but can’t decide which to choose, no worries, you can actually do both!
BEST ITEMS TO CREATE YOUR BOHO BEDROOM
Want to achieve a colorful, chic, and cozy boho bedroom? Here are some awesome stuff you can use to decorate your room.
1. Aztec-patterned, crochet, and Moroccan blankets
Use Aztec or tribal patterns for a peppy boho look. A multi-color Aztec-patterned blanket with tassels can instantly add variety and brighten up your room. Also, layering a Moroccan pom pom blanket with other blankets like fur and crochet can make your bed extra cozy, like this bedroom from kalk_katt.
2. Macramé pillows
With boho design, you’re free to be experimental and use different shapes, textures, and colors for your pillows. When choosing macramé pillows for your room, always look for high-quality material such as jute, yarn, cotton twine, and hemp.
You can also try these other pillows!
3. Macramé art decor
Macramé wall art and pillows make a great-looking combo for your boho-inspired room!
4. Rattan mirror
Another thing, add a cute rattan mirror in your bedroom instead of a regular mirror.
5. Dreamcatcher
Have a good night’s sleep in your room with this boho dreamcatcher. Many believe that a white dreamcatcher represents light and goodness, so you can have sweet dreams every night if you hang one near or over your bed or anywhere in your room!
6. Mid-century modern boho art print
Change the mood of your room by incorporating modern and boho art prints for your wall in warm, earthy tones like brown and terra cotta. In boho design, you can have diverse patterns on your wall.
7. Basket-filled walls
Baskets as wall décor are a classic for boho rooms. You don’t have to limit how many baskets hang on your wall, and it would look great if you could arrange them together in one space for a more artistic vibe.
8. Boho plants
Almost all boho rooms have plants because they instantly refresh the room and bring in the “forest” or “jungle” vibe. You can add different kinds of indoor plants by hanging them on the wall or placing them on the floor or above your nightstand.
9. Macramé plant holders
A creative approach to hanging plants is to use macramé plant hangers because they can serve as wonderful wall or window ornaments.
10. Rattan and bamboo lighting fixtures
There are many kinds of great boho lighting fixture alternatives such as rattan and bamboo hanging lamps.
11. Assorted boho rugs
Rugs are essential to any room because they affect the overall aesthetic of the space. There are certain things to consider when choosing a rug such as the color, shape (rectangular or round), size, material (jute, wool, flatweave, or distressed), and design (geometric, linear, or abstract patterns). Usually, for a large room, you need to have a big rug; however, with boho, you can put together smaller rugs to create a larger one.
12. Moroccan ottomans or leather poufs
Round leather poufs are very popular with boho style. You can also try hippie poufs with artistic patchwork and embroidery, which serve as footstools or floor cushions.
So that’s it! It’s fun to decorate a boho-style room, right? Which boho item would you like to put in your bedroom today? Let me know here!
