13 Colorful Boho Bedroom Ideas That Are Full of Modern Flair
Wake up surrounded by bold colors, eclectic patterns, and daring decor.
Bohemian decor follows the "more is more" philosophy. Beyond rattan and fringe accents, this eclectic aesthetic calls for a mix of contrasting textures, vibrant wallpapers, and global-inspired patterns. While this carefree aesthetic works well in living rooms and other gathering places in your home, boho bedrooms tend to be more challenging to put together. Your bedroom is the place where you rest and recharge, so it's important that your space feeds your soul with feel-good paint colors, inspiring patterns, and cozy fabrics that invite plenty of Sunday snuggles. Browse through these bohemian-style bedrooms to find inspiration for your space, whether you're looking for ways to spruce up your master bedroom or infuse more personal style into your small bedroom.
There aren't many rules to follow, which is why you'll find rooms with a range of color schemes, from warm, earthy neutrals to eye-catching jewel tones. The same applies to the different fabrics and textures found in these spaces, everything from natural wood furniture to linen bedspreads. Just make sure you do your research before incorporating certain symbols and artwork into your home, since some hold deeper cultural significance.
Tapestry Headboard
Hang a patterned rug or tapestry on a sturdy bamboo pole for a customizable backdrop. Then identify a color to use as an accent throughout the rest of your space.
Tassel Accents
It's all in the details: Hang ivory tassels on drawer knobs to make a modern nightstand look more bohemian.
Florals Meet Stripes
Boho is a rule-breaking design, which means you're welcome to fill your space with as many contrasting patterns and colors as you'd like. Take inspiration from this bedroom, which offsets the floor-to-ceiling florals with a bold striped rug.
Natural Neutrals
To add dimension to an all-white bedroom, bring in different textures with a faux fur rug and macrame wall hanging.
Darker Hues
Sometimes, boho-inspired bedrooms are light and bright. This bedroom, however, mixes light and dark: a white bunk bed pops against coral and navy wallpaper.
Pops of Green
Greenery — real or faux — breathes life into any space, especially when everything else is fairly neutral.
Shades of White
Fringe and textured linens find a place in this understated bedroom. Incorporate darker colors by accessorizing with wicker baskets and wooden decor.
Cozy Seating Area
The combination of walnut arm chairs and a fabric-covered coffee table create a cozy, boho-inspired hangout.
