Gorgeous Boho Bedroom Decor Ideas that Won’t Break the Bank

Do you want to add a touch of bohemian flavor to your bedroom without breaking the bank? Here are some excellent boho bedroom decor ideas to give your space a cozy, free spirit, relaxed feel without busting your budget or having to get an interior design degree.

The popular Boho style is a favorite of home decorators on a budget looking for the best way to add a relaxed bohemian atmosphere to their spaces. And it works especially well in a small space, so the size of your bedroom – whether it is a boho dorm room, or a massive master bedroom – is not going to be a problem.

How to decorate a boho bedroom

One easy way to add a cozy boho vibe to your bedroom is with textiles. Incorporate plush rugs, pillows, and a tastefully placed throw blanket in vibrant colors and patterns. Boho style is about mixing and matching different elements, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different textures and materials.

Another way to create a boho haven in your bedroom is by incorporating nature-inspired elements. Bring the outdoors in with potted plants, fresh flowers, or even just a few branches from your backyard. For a more permanent solution, consider hanging a tapestry or piece of wall art with a nature-inspired design.

Furniture is another crucial aspect of boho bedroom decor. Look for pieces that are unique and have an exciting history. Don’t forget second-hand shops, garage sales, and thrift stores to find one-of-a-kind furniture pieces.

Picking the best boho bed

Picking the best bed for your boho-inspired bedroom can be tricky. You want something that looks cozy and stylish, but you don’t want to spend a fortune, or –heavens forbid! – sleep in an uncomfortable bed.

A great way to get the look you want without breaking the bank is to shop at thrift stores or antique shops. You can often find unique furniture pieces at these stores that will add instant character to your space, keep an eye out on Facebook marketplace, or Craigslist for rattan headboards, the holy grail of bohemian-style bedrooms.

Another option is to buy a simple bed frame and dress it up with colorful pillows and throws. This is an affordable and easy trick to create a cozy boho bedroom that still reflects your personal style.

Bedside tables

Choosing suitable bedside tables doesn’t have to wipe out your bank account; it can be as simple as a stack of old crates or an antique trunk. Some vintage pieces off of Grandma’s attic, or picked at thrift stores can be a great idea for the perfect boho room.

Again, the key is personalizing the space with items that reflect your unique style.

Lighting is everything

Good lighting makes or breaks a room, so choose lamps and light fixtures that fit your style. If you want a more boho look, go for floor lamps with colorful shades or string lights to add some whimsy. And don’t forget about candles! Candles create a warm and inviting ambiance and make your space smell amazing.

Fairy lights are a great way to add a touch of magic to the space. Candles are also a must-have for any boho-inspired room look. Choose candles in different sizes and colors to create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.

Macrame lamp shades and lamps in natural fibers are a great way to add some boho style to your room.

Boho bedroom textiles

The right textiles are also crucial to creating the perfect bohemian style bedroom. Throw blankets, throw pillows, and floor cushions are a must, as they add comfort and style. Patterned rugs are also great for adding depth and interest to a room. Natural textures are a defining characteristic of the modern bohemian design, so stick to those.

Splurge on good quality neutral bedding. Check Etsy or eBay for vintage crochet throws, or embroidered bed linen for that bohemian vibe.

When it comes to boho bedroom decor, the possibilities are endless. Get creative and have fun personalizing the space to reflect your unique style. With a bit of imagination, you can easily create a cozy and inviting boho retreat on a budget.

The plants in your boho bedroom

You can’t have a boho bedroom without some greenery, so channel your inner plant mom and get to potting. Plants add so much more life to your space. They not only look great, but they also help purify the air.

If you’re not confident in your plant caring abilities, don’t worry – plenty of low-maintenance plants are practically impossible to kill. And if you really can’t keep anything alive, fake plants are always an option and can look almost as good.

Some great low-maintenance indoor plants for bedrooms are:

• Aloe Vera
• Snake Plants
• Spider Plants
• Peace Lilies
• Philodendrons hanging from the ceiling or cascading down high furniture
• And my favorite, Pothos, which can even survive in a bottle with some water

Wall decor

You should pick a color palette for a boho-style bedroom that is natural and earthy, like deep brown, forest green, and burnt orange.

Paint is one of the most accessible and affordable ways to change a space, so don’t be afraid to experiment. One easy tip is to have a white room and paint just one accent wall in a bold color in earthy tones or add bold patterned wallpaper to make it the room’s focal point.

White walls and a white color scheme has the extra advantage of bouncing light around to maximize natural light, so the room feels larger and brighter.

Crochet and macrame wall hangings are quintessentially boho items, and they can really help to add some personality to your bohemian space.

Hang tapestries, fabrics with tribal prints, or curtains around your bed to create a cozy boho nook.

Some of your wardrobe can add a pop of color and double as wall art in your boho stye bedroom too! Hang straw hats on the wall (very renter-friendly), and even your favorite vintage boho blouse or dress.

Just make sure to keep them away from bright sunlight so the colors don’t fade.

More boho bedroom furniture

Furniture with clean lines and natural materials will help create a cozy boho feel in your bedroom. Stick with neutrals like white, black, or brown, and then add in pops of color with pillows, blankets, and rugs.

Rattan and wicker furniture are perfect for achieving that bohemian look. And if you’re on a budget, keep an eye out for secondhand furniture stores or garage sales.

Another inexpensive pick can be a macrame hammock chair or hanging chair, the best are free-standing, and don’t need to be hung from the ceiling (which would not be ideal for renters). Not only are they statement pieces, but they are also practical, useful elements that the boho enthusiast will appreciate.

Having a chair or bench in the bedroom is a good idea so you can easily slip on your shoes in the morning, or leave your clothes ready for the morning. A small table can also be handy for holding a lamp or your morning cup of coffee.

Accessories are essential

No matter what your style is, accessories are key to pulling any room together. 

A boho bedroom means lots of textured pillows, unique vases and vessels, and anything else that speaks to you. Boho bedrooms should be cozy and inviting, so bring in items that reflect your personal taste and style.

Candles, vases, vintage books, and knick-knacks are all great picks.

Wicker baskets and other natural fiber baskets are awesome for the aesthetics and are also great for organization on the cheap.

Incorporate other natural elements into your decor: driftwood, sun-bleached branches, pampas grass, etc. are some of the easiest ways to get that modern boho atmosphere you’re looking for.

If you collect hippie-style jewelry, don’t hide them, incorporate your favorite pieces into your decor. With creativity, you can easily create a beautiful and cozy boho bedroom on a budget.

By following these simple tips, you can easily create a beautiful boho bedroom that reflects your own personal style. Go ahead and experiment with different elements until you find the perfect combination for your space.
