Affordable Boho Bedroom Ideas
The bohemian aesthetic has been trending for the past few years, and we don’t think it’s going to die out anytime soon. The Bohemian style, also known as boho, is all about creating a relaxing atmosphere with worldly patterns and organic elements. If you want to upgrade your bedroom and turn it into the ultimate boho space without breaking your budget, you’re in the right place. We took to Pinterest to find 16 of the most affordable boho bedroom ideas to totally transform your space.
1. Artwork
Artwork is essential for any boho room, but especially a bedroom. Your artwork should be the first thing you pick out before anything else because it will determine the rest of your color scheme. For example, if you choose artwork that includes a lot of burnt orange Hughes, you will want to go with other colors around the room that pair with that color. We love this set of paintings from Amazon because you can put them in different places around the room or create a wall gallery. Just remember these don’t include a frame, so you will want to buy those, too. We recommend these oak wood frames because they go perfectly with the boho vibe.
2. A Hanging Chair
Hanging chairs give off the ultimate boho vibe and are super chic. Not to mention, they create a perfect, relaxing place for you to snuggle up with a cozy blanket and read a good book. The best part is that they range in price, so you can get one under $100 like this one!
3. Textures
Textures are super important when it comes to boho decor! Textured items provide balance to a room and strengthen the visual aesthetic. They tend to “pop out” amongst other flat things. People often get confused about what texture is, but a good way to think about it is anything that you could touch that would feel different from something, well, flat. Think faux fur, chunky knit blankets, pillows, suede, leather, etc. It doesn’t take much to add texture. We think these textured ceramic vases would look stunning in a boho bedroom.
4. Plants
If you’re looking for boho bedroom ideas that are super budget-friendly, plants are a great option! Plants are a staple in any boho-style space because they add so much character.. Plants are also known to boost your mood and creativity as well as purify the air, so they are perfect to put in your bedroom. If you don’t have the resources to buy a bunch of plants’ try to find a couple that you can propagate like a pathos. Doing it this way will allow you to get many plants from one. Here is a quick video showing you how to propagate your plants.
5. Rugs
Rugs are definitely essential if you are trying to create a boho bedroom! You want to find rugs with different textures and global patterns or mix and match a few different ones like in this pin. They used a few different rugs to create a unique bohemian vibe. It is also a bit cheaper to use a few different rugs than one large one. A rug like this paired with a rug like this would be perfect to bring that bohemian vibe to your space, and you can get them both under $100! We also love this faux fur rug from Wayfair if you want to add some texture and your budget allows for it.
6. String Lights
Having different types of lighting is a super easy way to create a boho vibe in your bedroom. String lights are a super easy and affordable way to do this. You can hang some on your wall beside your bed or above a chair or piece of furniture. You can also find string lights that you can hang behind your curtains that create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
7. Pom Pom Pillows
If you’re looking for boho bedroom ideas that aren’t expensive and you can achieve them quickly, throw some pillows on your bed. Pom pom pillows scream boho and are a staple in almost every boho room. Not to mention, they are super cozy. We love this pom pom pillow from Amazon!
8. White Bedding
White or cream bedding is a great way to create a boho space. You don’t have to invest in anything fancy; a simple duvet will work well. We recommend sizing up to create a super cozy feel. Here’s a great one under $25! You can also find some comfy white sheets here!
9. Patterns
Another way to bring a boho vibe to your bedroom is to implement patterns! You can find a patterned wall hanging, pillows, or a patterned throw for your bed. We think adding bold patterns against white or cream bedding looks super chic. You can also implement patterns with decorative wallpaper or peel-and-stick tile to create an accent wall or focal point! The sky is the limit!
10. Mirrors
Mirrors are an absolute must in a boho-inspired bedroom. They help to balance out the space, and combined with the soft lighting from the string lights and pendant lighting, they really help to pull everything together. What is important here is that the mirrors have character. We aren’t talking about small door mirrors, but big round or rectangle mirrors work great. If you are looking for a mirror on a budget, we love this gold-framed rounded mirror for the wall or to lean against the wall on your desk. If you want a large floor mirror, we think this one is perfect for a boho bedroom!
11. Pendant lights
Your lighting may not seem like it’s that big of a deal, but trust us, it is! Trading out your ceiling lights, such as boob lights, for pendant-style lighting is key to having the ultimate boho bedroom. We love this pendant light from Amazon! It is totally chic and comes in just over $40 after taxes. If you are feeling creative, you can also check out this tutorial on how to DIY pendant lighting.
12. Floating Shelves
Floating shelves are a great way to create space for all your beautiful plants and boho decor. It is one of the most functional boho bedroom ideas and will make your room look bigger if done correctly. Just make sure you don’t overcrowd your shelves with junk and random odds and ends. You want the space to be open and inviting. If you are more of a maximalist and enjoy more filled spaces, add in more plants. Here are some gorgeous floating shelves at a great price!
13. Neutral Paint
Your wall color can play a huge part in whether your bedroom has a boho vibe. The wrong color can greatly impact everything else. We recommend using a neutral color like beige, white, or cream. However, you can also go with a deeper color, like a cognac or deep turquoise. Just stay away from bright colors like bright reds or yellows, as these will take away from the overall boho feel. If you don’t have the resources to paint the whole room, you can try painting one wall in a neutral color that pairs well with the color of your walls to balance it out. It will serve as an accent wall until you can paint the whole space.
14. Macrame
Macrame is one of the most budget-friendly boho bedroom ideas and is a great way to transform your bedroom into a boho dream instantly! Macrame sets an earthy tone to any room, which is why you hardly ever see a boho room without it. You can get so many things in macrame, from wall hangings to plant holders, even ottomans! We love these macrame wall hangings from Amazon that are only $20!
15. Bamboo Shades
Boho is all about earthy feels and organic materials, so bamboo shades like these are a great, inexpensive idea to add to your boho bedroom. They are easy to hang, and we think they look so much more chic than traditional white shades, especially the plastic ones…eek! You can also opt for wooden shades in an oak color. However, wooden blinds tend to be a little on the pricier side, especially if you have more than one window.
16. Anything Jute
If your budget is seriously low and you can only get a few items to start creating your boho bedroom, we recommend finding some inexpensive jute items. Jute is often used a lot in boho rooms and will immediately bring a bit of a boho vibe to your space, regardless of your other decor. An inexpensive laundry basket like this would be a great start to your boho bedroom. We also love these hanging baskets, which would be great to hold books or magazines.
Final Thoughts
There are plenty of super chic boho bedroom ideas you can try even when you are on a budget! If you don’t have much money to spend upfront, try incorporating one or two of these items at a time until you get it where you want it. You will have the boho bedroom of your dreams in no time!
