What Is Boho Style?
Also known as Bohemian or boho-chic, this style is mainly described as a relaxed and laid-back style that allows you to implement your personal taste. This style has no hard rules, and it allows you to use carefree layers of different textures, patterns and colours. So, the goal of using it is to help you create free-spirited spaces that are stylish but above all comfortable. Natural materials are the most favoured ones in bohemian homes, so it isn’t strange to see homes with lots of wood, leather, textiles, stone, jute, wicker and rattan.
Ways to Create Your Very Own Boho Bedroom
Boho style is known for the use of vibrant colours like red, orange and yellow, however, if this is too much for you, you can always pick some neutrals and tend towards creating somewhat a minimalist-bohemian bedroom. When blended together, they’ll simply shine.
Add Simple Yet Appealing Bed Covers
The biggest change you can make in your bedroom without breaking the bank is by changing the bed covering. Since your bed is the focal point in the bedroom, replacing the old one with a new one could jazz up the room instantly. And given the fact that bohemian style is all about feeling comfortable while not skipping on your personal taste and style, you should certainly have a look at the numerous breathtaking bed covers made of natural materials like cotton, linen and velvet.
Precisely this makes them the perfect accompaniment to any bedroom setting regardless of the style. And since your wish is to create a vintage-inspired bohemian bedroom, you should certainly change your bed cover with a softer one made entirely of natural material. You can choose from plain bed covers in one colour, or you can choose from a huge choice of bedding covers with simpler designs.
As we already mentioned, there are lots of natural materials you can work with, so if you find yourself asking “What is the most comfortable bed cover?”, the answer would be different since it’s a personal choice. However, the fabric’s softness and cosiness are the two crucial features a bed cover should possess.
Out of all types of natural materials, cotton is considered one of a kind. It’s a soft, smooth and comfortable fabric, perfect for being used throughout the year. Depending on your wishes and personal taste, you can opt for covers for beds made of a thinner or thicker fabric. Aside from this, cotton is known for having antibacterial, antimicrobial and hypoallergenic properties which makes it ideal for being used by anyone.
When looking for a bed winter cover, you can opt for fluffier covers made of velvet. The most fundamental thing for you to know about velvet is that can be made from silk, synthetic fibre and cotton, and choosing velvet made of cotton would be ideal for achieving the effect of a boho-inspired bedroom. Considering the bohemian style allows for layering things, you can mix and match different covers and quilts and layer them to make your bedroom cosier and more appealing.
Add a Natural Jute Rug
A bohemian-inspired bedroom would be complete without adding a natural jute rug in it. Depending on the floor and personal taste, you can opt for one larger rug that you’ll place under the bed and in the centre, or you can add several smaller jute rugs around the bed. Layering is also an option since this will add warmth and softness underfoot.
You can either choose from plain jute rugs in one colour, or you can opt for colourful types that allow you to choose different patterns as well. Being a natural material, jute is eco-friendly, biodegradable and recyclable. It’s extremely durable and easy to clean. It only needs regular vacuuming to prevent dirt from entering deep within its fibres and that’s it. In case of stains, you can spot clean it, and in case of odours, just sprinkle baking soda all over it, let it sit for a while and vacuum as usual.
Create an Accent Wall
Even though neutral pallets are quite common in boho style, still a touch of freshness to break up the dullness is needed in order to help you create a Bohemian-inspired bedroom. Instead of creating an accent wall with the help of some photographs and prints, you can create one by adding natural accents to it or simply painting a part of it in some earth tone sage green colour. In case you don’t want to add colour to your wall, you can simply mix and match round woven baskets in different sizes to break up the walls’ dullness.
Add Plants
Adding plants is always a good idea even when it comes to the bedroom. You can either add several plants on the floor and around the room or you can mix and match different smaller houseplants and hang them on the wall in a macramé planter holder. Rest assured both options are just as charming!
