Few aesthetics embody the best parts of hygge—everyone’s favorite trendy way to get cozy—than bohemian decor. The breezy, maximalist aesthetic gives us all an excuse to make the most of color, to get creative when combining printed textiles and to stock up on all kinds of lovely trinkets that do little else than make us happy. The bohemian decor movement is a beautiful thing, both aesthetically and conceptually, and its daughter, the bohemian bedroom decor movement, is largely the same.
The only issue? Crafting the perfect bohemian interior is a never-ending challenge. Minimalism forces you to pare down, leaving questions like “what should I own?” and “where should my stuff go?” easy to answer; they’re matters of rationality and practicality—there are right ways to decorate. But maximalism invites you to get lost in aesthetic fantasy. You’re rewarded for buying a shit-ton of throw pillows, for covering your walls with colorful art. But it’s not as simple as loading up on interesting wares. You have to load up on interesting wares that complement each other.
They key to bohemian bedroom decor—or any kind of bohemian decor, really—is to leave your space looking beautifully curated, without allowing it to feel effortful. The bohemian spirit is a breezy one—it summons visions of days spent at the beach, lives spent focused on travel. These are lighthearted, creative endeavors, not meticulously assembled ones. To make your home look full of effort would be to ruin the aesthetic you set out to craft in the first place. And unless you’re an aesthetic savant, this is a hard balance to strike.
None of this is to suggest that you should abandon all hope of crafting the bohemian bedroom of your wildest dreams—far from it. But it is to suggest that perhaps the best first step you can take is to stock up on bohemian bedroom decor inspiration—to see what other aesthetically-minded individuals have created, and to see what elements you’re interested in borrowing from each. A little visual research should go a long way in helping you understand what you want from your bohemian bedroom, and it’ll fill you with ideas for how to get there. That said, read on for seven key elements of boho decor, and tons of beautiful inspo images. Godspeed, my friend. The space you’ve been fantasizing about awaits.
