A decor that reflects your personality will positively influence your life, making you happier, more optimistic, and reducing your stress. It’s also a delight to come home or invite friends over when we feel proud of our decor.

The bohemian style emphasizes different colors, textures, and materials within a room to create a warm, artistic, and free-spirited atmosphere for your space.

In this guide, we will present in detail, along with illustrations, the bohemian decoration style room by room.

1. Bohemian Bedroom Decor

The bedroom is the most intimate space in your home, and it’s where you can really let your creativity shine when decorating. Having a bedroom styled to your taste isn’t just about appearance; it directly improves your sleep and reduces your stress. Feeling comfortable in your bedroom is essential to getting good rest and staying energetic throughout the day.

Wall Decor for Your Bedroom

There are several ways to beautify your bedroom in a bohemian style. Let’s start with the headboard. You can opt for an artistic or ethnic headboard instead of a simple wooden or upholstered one. Bohemian tapestries are a trendy way to provide an ultimate boho look. Hanging wall tapestries is super easy and will instantly transform the look of your room. Use bohemian, tribal, ethnic tapestries, or ones with mandala prints for a unique style. Apart from tapestries, you can simply decorate your walls with artificial plants, a bohemian painting, or a famous dream catcher to ensure sweet nights and wonderful dreams.

Get inspired by the decor below, featuring a mandala tapestry or a dream catcher.

Bohemian Style Bedding, Pillows, and Bedspreads

For your bed, simply combine an ethnic bedspread with bohemian-style pillows to achieve the perfect boho chic look. You could keep it subtle with a beige bedspread and colorful tribal-style pillows. Or be bolder with an ultra-colored ethnic bedspread and more neutral beige pillows with patterns to soften the overall look.

The final touch for your living room is wall decoration. You don’t need to paint the walls entirely; you can simply add a few bohemian elements to complete the look of your living room. Decorative accessories like an ethnic wall basket or a bohemian painting will fit in perfectly. As with your coffee table, prioritize natural accessories; for example, cork decorations are very trendy.

3. Bohemian Bathroom

To achieve a boho-style bathroom, don’t hesitate to use plants (real or artificial), natural fabrics (cotton, linen), and colorful ethnic-style shower curtains.

For a touch of nature, use plants that thrive on a lot of water in your bathroom. The room’s natural humidity will help the plants flourish and give your bathroom a natural, authentic, and bohemian vibe.

Combine the plants with colorful ethnic or tribal-style curtains and a bohemian bath mat, and you’ll easily create a bathroom with a unique bohemian chic atmosphere with a natural touch that will make you want to stay in the shower all morning.

4. Bohemian Kitchen

A bohemian kitchen evokes a sense of relaxation and encourages you to innovate with very artistic decor. The ambiance of a boho chic kitchen is full of character and personality, with a warm and free-spirited feel.

This type of design involves personalizing the interior with a mix of colors that can be surprising through the use of unusual textures and different elements.

The bohemian culture is, by nature, free and uninhibited, sending the message that you can go with the flow and follow your instincts and heart.

Decorating your kitchen will enhance your enjoyment of cooking and allow you to experiment with bold and flavorful combinations. A bohemian-style kitchen can easily become the focal point of a home. Here are some examples to inspire you and give you ideas for a bohemian kitchen.

5. The Difference Between Bohemian and Bohemian Chic Styles

You have probably heard the term bohemian chic, but we’ve noticed that most people do not know the difference between traditional bohemian style and bohemian chic style. While both have similarities, they are distinct.

In short, the bohemian style stems from the hippie culture of the 1970s. That’s why you might sometimes hear the term hippie chic instead of bohemian. The bohemian style is characterized by natural elements and is very colorful. In your home, the bohemian style will be represented by a multitude of colors, textures, and different materials, creating that bohemian hippie atmosphere reminiscent of travel and giving an artistic feel to the space.

The bohemian chic style, on the other hand, is a combination of Scandinavian style and bohemian style. A chic decor is much more streamlined, featuring softer and paler colors (modern Scandinavian look) combined with colorful bohemian decorative elements or more natural materials that contrast and add intensity to the room.

See the difference for yourself: on the left is a traditional bohemian style, and on the right is a bohemian chic style that merges modern style with boho.
