There’s something magical about a boho bedroom, waking up in a space that feels like it truly reflects your soul, warm, layered, and a little bit wild. A boho bedroom isn’t just a design choice, it’s a vibe. A reflection of your story, your creativity, and your love of all things cozy and eclectic.

At Free Spirited Souls, we believe your home should feel like a hug. Whether you're ready to go all-in with bold colors, textures, and travel finds or you're just craving a few whimsical touches, we’ll walk you through how to turn your bedroom into a dreamy bohemian escape.


Layer It Up: Cozy Textures for Maximum Comfort

The secret to a dreamy boho bedroom? Layers, layers, and more layers!


Think soft, cozy throws, plush pillows, and vintage rugs that beg you to curl up and relax. Don’t be shy about mixing textures - natural cottons, silky velvets, and fluffy fabrics all come together to create a bed that feels like a cloud.


Add a Moroccan pouf or a chunky knit blanket for that extra boho charm. The more texture, the better! This layering technique not only adds comfort but also gives your bedroom that lived-in, comfy vibe, boho chic style is famous for.

Play with Color: A Palette That Reflects Your Vibe

Boho style is a little like painting on a blank canvas, you can mix and match your favorite colors to reflect your vibe.


Earthy tones like terracotta, mustard yellow, and deep teal give off that cozy, grounded feel, while pops of blush pink, coral, and gold make the room feel fresh and full of life.


Want to keep it classic? Go for a neutral palette with whites, creams, and browns, then spice it up with colorful accents like throw pillows or an eclectic quilt.


The key is balance, blend soft neutrals with bright bursts of color to make the space uniquely yours. That is what the boho vibe is all about.

Decor That Tells a Story: Personalize Your Space

In a boho bedroom, every item has a story to tell. Whether it’s a hand-woven tapestry, a vintage mirror with a quirky frame, or a collection of candles that smell like heaven, the idea is to surround yourself with pieces that speak to your soul.


Bohemian style is all about self-expression, like curating a collection of your favorite treasures, thoughtfully arranged to tell your unique story in a beautifully cohesive way.


Incorporate little treasures you’ve picked up during travels or items that make you feel inspired. Think dreamcatchers, macramé wall hangings, and wooden furniture with a lived-in charm. These personal touches make your bedroom a reflection of your free-spirited personality.

Bring the Outside In: Nature-Lovers’ Dream

The boho style has a serious crush on nature; your bedroom should be no different!


This style is often referred to as Jungalow. Fill your room with plants that bring the outdoors inside, like a jungle - think leafy ferns, hanging ivy, or even a tiny succulent on your nightstand.


Not a green thumb? Faux plants work just as well to achieve the look. Add natural materials like rattan, bamboo, or jute for an earthy touch. These elements create a fresh, calming atmosphere, making your boho bedroom a true escape.

Lighting: Soft, Dreamy, and Oh-So-Cozy

Lighting in a boho bedroom? Think soft, dreamy, and a little bit magical. String lights, Moroccan lanterns, and candles with flickering flames are your best friends here.


Consider layering your lighting too, combine a statement chandelier with fairy lights or a salt lamp for the ultimate cozy vibe. The right lighting can transform your bedroom into a tranquil haven, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

Small Spaces? Big Boho Energy

Even if your bedroom is on the smaller side, you can still go big on boho style. Use mirrors to create the illusion of space while reflecting natural light.


Opt for multi-functional furniture like an ottoman with storage or a bed frame with built-in drawers. Keep the color palette light and airy, then add bursts of texture and personality with wall art, rugs, and plants.


Small spaces can pack just as much boho punch as larger rooms!
