Boho bedroom ideas with the furniture you have

A boho bedroom is warm, layered and relaxed: earthy colors, mixed patterns, natural textures and plenty of plants. It's one of the easiest styles to build around the furniture you already have, because the look comes mostly from textiles and accessories.

1. Start with an earthy palette

   Terracotta, rattan tan, sage and soft clay are classic boho colors.

   How to do it: Pick one main color and two supporting ones for bedding and cushions.

2. Layer the bed

   Mixed throws, patterned cushions and a textured bedspread do most of the work.

   How to do it: Combine one bold pattern with a few quieter textures.

3. Layer the rugs

   Patterned rugs layered on top of each other add warmth and color.

   How to do it: Put a smaller patterned rug over a larger plain one.

4. Hang woven or macramé wall art

   A woven piece adds texture above the bed.

   How to do it: Use one larger piece rather than many small frames.

5. Add plants, especially trailing ones

   Plants are central to the look.

   How to do it: Put trailing plants on a shelf or in a hanging planter, and choose plants that suit the light in your room.

6. Bring in rattan and natural fibers

   A rattan lamp shade, a woven basket or a jute rug suits the style.

   How to do it: Use baskets as storage to keep the room relaxed but tidy.

7. Use soft, warm light

   String lights, a paper or rattan shade and a bedside lamp make the room glow.

   How to do it: Choose warm bulbs.

8. Mix in secondhand finds

   Vintage pieces give a boho room its collected feel.

   How to do it: Look for a mirror, a side table or textiles at secondhand shops.
