ToggleTake It to the Tropics

Boho room decor ideas are often synonymous with a laissez-faire, vacation-ready attitude—and nothing hammers that vibe home quicker than a palm tree or two. To incorporate a bit of greenery into your space, look for tropical plants that work well with a boho aesthetic, like a banana leaf plant or sprawling indoor palm, like the specimen seen here in a home by Rita Donahoe of Rita Chan Interiors.

Embrace Life Alfresco

The warm breeze in your hair, a tropical drink in hand—is this vacation, or just another day in the life in your own personal boho sanctuary? Embracing an alfresco lifestyle is key to channeling a boho vibe, so make the most of any outdoor space you have, whether that’s an expansive deck or a small Juliet balcony off your bedroom.
Highlight Natural Fibers

Fibers like rattan, wicker, hemp, and jute all have a strong tie to the boho aesthetic, thanks in large part to their island-ready ethos. When designing a free-spirited oasis, look for ways to incorporate a bevy of natural textures, like the oversized piece of natural fiber art seen here in a coast home designed by Serena Dugan.

Choose a Standout Accessory

Boho room decor ideas are all about embracing a unique individuality, and choosing playful accessories is a great way to hammer home the aesthetic. Shop for pieces that look like they could be collected over time or come from far corners of the globe, like a pair of intricate bone inlay mirrors or a vibrant quilt.
Add a Subtle Patina

There’s something about textured paint that feels like a cozy hug, making it the ideal choice for a bohemian-inspired bedroom that’s all about comfort. To mimic the look of a timeworn vacation escape, add texture to your walls using an of-the-moment technique like limewash or Roman clay. Paired with a soft neutral palette and organic textures—like those seen here in the Florida home of designer Whitney Leigh Morris—it reads as timeless and welcoming, without being too on-the-nose or theme-y.

Cultivate a Flow

Indoor-outdoor living goes hand-in-hand with a boho aesthetic, which earned a large portion of its fanbase at sunny coastal locales where year-round sun means much of life is lived al fresco. To channel the same vibe, look for opportunities to connect your interior with the surrounding landscape, whether that’s through an oversize picture window or an expansive patio doorway, as seen here in a project by Cece Bowman of Kemble Interiors.

Take Inspo From Travel

Ever come home from vacation with the burning desire to redesign your entire home? Us too. It’s hard not to want to bottle the relaxing vibes of a truly rejuvenating vacation and much of that has to do with the laidback boho atmosphere many hotels strive to create. The next time you find yourself staring down another home makeover, consider how the space might look at your favorite resort, whether that’s a serene bedroom or welcoming poolside bar—complete with sprawling palm trees, of course.
Soften a Space With Curves

Boho room decor ideas call for a softer touch overall—an ethos that can extend (whenever possible, that is!) to your architecture, too. If you find yourself undertaking a major reno, consider adding some gentle curves or arches throughout your home to help reinforce the look. In this California ranch by Rita Chan Interiors, that means a wide arch that looks into the living and dining space—complete with a glittering zellige tile accent.
