9 Modern Boho Nurseries

Bohemian nursery decor is one of a kind. It’s vintage, eclectic, and entirely personal. What’s more, this rich and unusual style is making a comeback, boasting a fresh, modern vibe.

Modern Boho combines bohemian traditions with contemporary appeal, creating a cleaner, more casual look. It’s the perfect blend of rustic comfort and extravagant luxury with a healthy dose of worldly goodness to boot!

Whether you’re a born wanderer or just an artist at heart, a beautiful Boho nursery may be exactly what you’re looking for.

1. A Shift to Neutral

 

While traditional bohemian décor brings to mind rich color and dark cozy rooms, the new Boho chic takes a light and airy approach, embracing neutral palettes and open spaces. Whitewashed walls and natural wood floors provide a clean, gender-neutral canvas on which to layer colorful textiles and eclectic accessories.

2. Bold Bohemian Accents

Bold color is still a staple of bohemian décor, but the modern look is less oppressive. In this beautiful nursery room, multi-colored bunting and lively bedding pop against an all-white background, giving the space vibrant bohemian energy that evokes the style’s original charm.

3. Pattern Love

 

Bold pattern choices are quintessentially Boho. Think large-scale Moroccan patterns, flirty florals, and colorful prints​ carefully mixed and matched to create a rich and eclectic blend.

4. Natural Attraction

 

A beautiful houseplant brings a breath of fresh air to any space. If your nursery is large, a dramatic potted plant can make the perfect statement. Short on space? Try poking colorful cacti or tiny terrariums of succulents onto shelves and other out-of-the-way places or use them to create a living wall or mobile. Hanging plants are another excellent option and have the added benefit of being too high for curious hands to reach.Some plants—even common houseplants – can be harmful if ingested by children or pets.¹ Before you buy any plant for your nursery, do your homework and make sure it’s safe.

5. Cozy Textiles

Opulent rugs and layers of beautiful, varied fabrics are a must in any bohemian-inspired space. Comfort in the form of all things soft and cushy is key.Assorted blankets and a sea of mismatched throw pillows make this tiny toddler bed the perfect place to curl up and catch an afternoon nap. An elaborate canopy pieced together with different fabrics gives the space a homey yet luxurious feel.

6. Texture-Rich Treasures

Boho style creates an unlikely balance, pairing palatial comforts with all things organic and earthy. Look for natural materials like burlap and sisal, and mix and match them with rich silks and chenilles. Pair sleek leather and soft furs with crystal and metallic accessories; dress rustic wooden floors with luxurious rugs.

7. Layered Rugs 

As any true disciple of bohemian style will tell you, when it comes to rugs, one is never enough. Use a varied assortment of small rugs to highlight different areas or layer rugs in different colors and textures. This Boho nursery features a lux fur accent rug strewn across a tightly woven, Southwestern-print area rug. The contrast creates a rich and vibrant look.

8. Macrame Art and Accents

 

Macramé is back and more beautiful than ever. This traditionally bohemian art form is popping up everywhere and with so many DIY tutorials available, there’s never been a better time to get knitting! Create a simple collection of hanging plant hammocks for your nursery, or craft your own stunning tapestry. All thumbs when it comes to crafting?

9. Eclectic Furnishings

 

If you love matching furniture, a Boho nursery is not for you. A bohemian space is anything but matchy-matchy. It’s a perfectly curated collection of mixed and matched pieces blended into one cohesive look.
