Styling The Ultimate Bohemian Bedroom

The bohemian trend really erupted during the turn of the new millennium, and instead of fading away like most trends, it has proven its place in interior design history as it has grown and developed.

Taking inspiration from simple lives and stunning pieces of Eastern decorative items, bohemian décor is the ultimate way to achieve a relaxing, effortless, and yet still stunningly beautiful bedroom.

This greyscale bohemian bedroom uses soft draping fabrics and effortless décor to create a sexy and effortless style, but keeps a minimal colour palette that is non offensive and chilled out.

A white background creates the prefect blank canvas for brighter pieces of décor. Bolder colours and embellished décor are amplified against soft and simple backdrops.

True bohemian bedrooms should also take on the bohemian attitude to layout and function, not just décor for a true boho vibe. A simple mattress on the floor removes fuss and contributes to a simpler bedroom living style.

If you’re not tempted by bold colours and lots of contrasting and complementing tones, you can still achieve an effortless bohemian bedroom with a very simple white and cream colour palette. Break the rules you heard about not mixing cream and white, as this builds texture, and try to maximise the amount of light in your room to keep you uplifted.
