9 Boho Bathroom Ideas To Inspire Your Makeover
Create a truly unique space with our favorite boho bathroom decor.
As you search for boho bathroom ideas, keep this one "rule" in mind: With boho design, there are no rules! You can fill your bathroom with things you love without following specific decorating rules or guidelines. Words that often describe boho style include whimsical, charming, quirky, eclectic, casual, unconventional, and unique. In design terms, this often translates to natural finishes, layers of different textures, a mix of cultural styles, and a variety of colors.
If you're looking for a little more direction when building your bohemian aesthetic, check out our decorating suggestions to see which boho bathroom ideas might best fit your unique space.
Boho Bathroom Decor Tip #1: Mix Colors & Patterns
Bright colors and lots of patterns – florals, paisleys, geometrics – can make a strong boho statement. Add these colors and patterns in any way you like, with shower curtains, towels, window treatments, and more!
If bright colors and patterns don't fit your vibe, consider filling your boho bathroom space with earth tones like olive green, mustard yellow, rusty orange, or wine red. As with bright colors, you can bring in an earthy palette with shower curtains, towels, and window treatments.
Plants definitely lend a boho feel to a space, and many plants thrive in the humidity of a bathroom. But if your bathroom lacks natural light, consider faux plants. They look and feel like the real thing!
For a more neutral boho palette, add natural fibers. Capture that bohemian feel with the woven textures found in boho baskets, sisal and jute rugs, bamboo and macrame planters, and wood wall hangings. The textures easily complement all your other design elements.
Take advantage of the freedom boho style provides by hanging fabulous global-inspired wallpaper. Look for wallpaper that features an eclectic mix of patterns, colors, and textures. It doesn't have to match any of the other design elements in the bathroom, it just has to please you!
Looking for boho bathroom decor ideas? Imagine you're a traveler who's collected vases, urns, jars, and bottles from every corner of the world. Display one or all of your treasures in your personal bathroom for true global appeal. Bonus: Use them to hold cotton swabs, shampoos, or bathroom-friendly eucalyptus!
One way to sum up boho style? Expect the unexpected! In the bathroom, that could mean replacing traditional bathroom rugs with an area rug that boasts fabulous colors, patterns, or textures.
Soaking in the tub by candlelight is so luxurious. And candles, especially those in quirky candleholders, add just the right amount of bohemian flair. Mix and match a variety of candleholders – on top of the vanity, along the bathtub, on the back of the toilet – for a delightfully cozy space. If you prefer electric candles, consider gorgeous candle wall sconces or a candle-style chandelier like in the photo above
Boho-style decorating means thinking outside the box! You can repurpose a bedroom dresser to hold bath towels. A garden stool serves as an excellent "table" next to the bathtub. Floating bookshelves are ideal for displaying bathroom reading materials (because decorating with books is a big plus in boho spaces). Again: There are no rules...so just have fun!
