Many people wouldn’t see the merit in a boho nursery, but adults love this theme and feel calmer in a boho nursery. Boho style has pretty decorations that still introduce some color, but add a lot of stimulating texture that’s good for your baby’s mental development. That said, boho decorations aren’t always meant for nurseries, so what are the best Boho Nursery Ideas? We’ve listed a few below.

1) Boho Rainbow Wall Decals

Rainbows probably aren’t the first thing you think of when it comes to boho style, but you can use them to add color to the nursery in a tasteful way that’s different from a typical cutesy nursery. You can get these rainbow decals that are designed to fit a boho color scheme with toned-down colors. Since they’re toned-down, they’re calming enough for your baby to sleep around, though they’re still interesting enough to make the nursery pretty and stimulating.

2) Wood Bead Curtain Tie-Back

Curtains will probably be a very important part of the nursery since your baby will be taking daytime naps, but will need natural light to help stimulate their brain the rest of the time. This makes solid or blackout curtains with tie-backs ideal since you can black all light or let light in. We found these wood bead tie-backs that are perfect for a boho or bohemian farmhouse nursery, adding more natural materials to improve the natural look.

3) DIY Beaded Pom Pom Garland

For a bohemian-style room, you want something colorful, eclectic, and natural, and this pom pom garland is a great way to accent your room with that type of decor. You can use this video to make a garland from colorful pom poms and wood beads, adding natural materials along with bright or natural colors. The pom poms create a soft and eclectic look, as they have a different texture from most decorations, but that’s ideal for a nursery since textures are stimulating for babies!

4) Leaves and Vines Closet Organizers

Since a lot of boho decorations have natural materials or textures that mimic items in nature, we thought these closet organizers might fit the bill. They’re great for somebody who likes to keep things in order, and even better if you have multiple children and want to keep their clothes organized. This set is wooden and decorated with leaves and vines surrounding the writing on each one. This way, they’ll help keep you organized as your baby moves up through the clothing sizes, and they’ll add a natural boho element to the closet.

5) Wooden Baby Gym

Eclectic and natural materials are ideal for boho nurseries, so we found this wooden baby gym to add to yours.

It has both soft and hard things dangling down for your baby, making it entertaining and helpful no matter what sensation your baby wants at a given time. The different textured materials also add to the eclectic impression.

This would be an excellent way to stimulate your little one’s mind and create amazing decor. 

7) Textured Walls

Textures are important in a bohemian nursery since this theme is all about the eclectic, the international, the colorful, and more. Adding a variety of textures is an important part of a boho nursery since it creates an eclectic look, and Tory Stender shows how you can use textured walls in a boho nursery. You can use textures like the beadboard wallpaper she used, but board and batten trim like hers is also good because it adds texture and protects the lower parts of the walls.

8) Wood Beaded Chandelier

Wood beads are common in boho decorating, and in boho farmhouse decorating in particular. They add a natural element since they’re made from natural materials, and they add texture. Hanging beads are interesting for little kids and babies, in particular, so a wood beaded chandelier like this would be a good way to make the room look nice to adults and interesting for a baby.

This wall hanging is a great choice for a bohemian room, even though it doesn’t have much color. The striped pattern is stimulating for newborns and older infants alike and it creates a bold and unique look. The beads add an element of texture and turn the simple two-color decoration into something with a hint of bright and more complicated metallic color. You can also replace metallic beads with more natural-looking wooden beads if that’s your preference for this room.

13) Chevron and Soft Textures

Chevron is a good choice for a bohemian nursery because it doesn’t look quite like other patterns. It’s more stimulating than stripes, and stimulation is essential when your baby might spend most of their time in this room. Chevron is also a mild enough design that you can use it in small amounts without making the room too energetic for a baby to sleep in. You can combine chevron with soft textures as Christina Dennis did in this nursery to create a soft and calming space that’s also stimulating enough to be a playroom.
