Are you trying to think of ways to create your own boho bathroom? If not… what are you doing here? lol
I’m about to share 20 of the most popular design ideas to help you create your own little bohemian paradise at home. If you’re looking for design ideas that will bring an organic and relaxed atmosphere to your bathroom, you’re going to want to consider incorporating natural materials and earthy tones, for starters,
Here are 20 design ideas and beautiful and useful products that can help you achieve the look and feel you’re going for.
1. Natural Materials
If you can find something decorative and beautiful outside, it’ll probably work really well indoors with a boho bathroom. I wanted to share this as its own point so that you see the pattern in the rest of the ideas I share here. Stone, plants, wood, cement, earthy colors and tones like forest green, mustard, burgandy and navy can all work as accent colors in this design style along with classic neutral tones.
Natural materials will make the room feel more peaceful and serene when you walk in, especially if we’re designing a bathroom. All the natural textures and tones keep things simple and down-to-earth.
2. Wooden Accents
Wood is a must-have in any boho space. Whether it’s a wooden bath mat, a rustic vanity, or floating shelves, wood adds a cozy, organic touch. It pairs beautifully with soft linens and earthy tones, making your bathroom feel like warm space because of the warmer tones. Wood’s versatility and warmth make it a standout feature in bathrooms in particular because it usually contrasts the tile and granite floors, counters, and walls we are all used to seeing in bathrooms.
3. Rattan and Wicker Items
Want to add texture? Rattan and wicker items are your go-tos. A rattan mirror, woven light fixtures, or wicker storage baskets add a handcrafted, natural element into your design. These materials make your space feel a little bit more interesting and unique because these woven patterns are usually shaped with curves and arches that are appealing to the eye.
4. Natural Stone Elements
Stone sinks, pebble-tiled showers, or concrete and marble countertops bring a cool contrasting color and texture that goes against the warm tones. Stone beautifully balances softer materials like wood and linen, giving your boho bathroom a more balanced look.
5. Neutral Colors
Soft beiges, off-whites, and warm browns create a serene atmosphere that blends effortlessly with other design choices. These neutral tones form the perfect base for layering in other textures, patterns, and colors, ensuring your boho bathroom has a warm palette you can build on.
Color sets the mood in any space, and a boho bathroom is no different. The key? Stick to earthy, grounding tones that create a calm, cozy atmosphere. While neutrals reign, warmer hues like deep reds and rich greens have gained popularity for adding a bold yet soothing touch. We’ll get to that in a second.
6. Bold Earth Tones & Patterns
Add vibrant boho touches with bold colors and patterns. Think shower curtains, towels, or tile work that make a statement. These little details add some intriguing, eye-catching elements to the space.
Want to add personality? Bring in rich, earthy tones like terracotta, deep mustard, navy, burgandy, or burnt sienna with towels, rugs, or accent tiles. I’ve noticed a rise in people embracing green bathrooms too—definitely a trend worth checking out (trust me, don’t knock it until you see it in person!).
Don’t be afraid of patterns—go for Moroccan tiles, hand-painted designs, or vintage-inspired shower curtains. When you’re building off neutral palettes, you can feel comfortable stretching your design choices and going for colors or patterns that make more of a statement.
7. Vintage Mirrors
A vintage mirror isn’t just useful—it’s a statement piece. It can be a really captivating boho bathroom accessory, especially on top of a vanity. Whether it’s an ornate frame or a distressed patina, it adds instant character while adding the illusion of space and making the room feel lighter. We’re all for accents that make things feel bigger and brighter!
8. Antique Rugs
Ditch the basic bath mat and go for an antique or vintage-style rug. It’s a soft landing for your feet that adds warmth, color, texture, and a touch of history to your bathroom. Each truly antique rug has its own story and weathered beauty about it. Plus, it makes the space feel less like a bathroom and more like a cozy retreat.
9. Must-Have Boho Bathroom Accessories
Macrame towels and holders can be a useful boho bathroom accessory. Handcrafted and intricate, they add an authentic homemade touch. Macrame details bring in that handcrafted, bohemian element: hand towels, hanging organizers, or even a knotted toilet paper holder (you get the idea).
Accessories are where your boho bathroom really comes to life, even with simple and small items. Each piece does more than just serve a purpose—it adds personality, charm, and those little details that make the space feel uniquely yours.
10. Hanging Plants
Hanging plants are a simple yet effective way to add life to the eyeline of your boho bathroom. Don’t underestimate the difference this can make! Use woven or macrame plant hangers to keep the look cohesive.
11. Gallery Wall with Boho Art Prints
A gallery wall can turn your boho style bathroom into a more personal experience
Incorporate boho art prints with personal photos, abstract designs, or vintage travel posters. You can layer different textures and frames to create a collective, one-of-a-kind look. Your display can even include an inspirational quote.
12. Wall Decor
Wall decor in bathrooms can really make a statement, and whether it’s woven tapestries, beaded pieces, or intricate macramé designs, they add depth to your boho bathroom. They transform plain walls into a rich tapestry of color and pattern.
Choose beautiful, meaningful pieces, so that when you’re creating a boho style bathroom, you can keep things minimal. (Sorry, I tend to be a bit of a minimalist.)
13. Boho Bathroom Lighting
Lighting is essential in creating the perfect modern boho bathroom. Lighting sets the tone, and in a boho bathroom, it’s all about soft, warm glows that match your mood.
Begin with a standout light fixture. Go for a woven pendant lamp or beaded chandelier. They cast interesting shadows and create different focal points. Enhance your bathroom with ambient boho lighting. Get rattan wall sconces or string lights to add soft, diffused light. This lighting is both useful and aesthetic. Try to avoid harsh bright lights.
Never underestimate the power of candlelight either. Scented candles in earthy scents like sandalwood, vanilla, or patchouli make your space feel like a spa. Candles engage the senses and bring the flickering warm glow that makes things feel calm and cozy. Add a few well-placed lanterns or candles near your bathtub and you’re good to go.
14. Woven Baskets and Bins
Storage options don’t have to be mutually exclusive with your design choices and they can actually work hand-in-hand to achieve the natural organic boho look you’re going for. Woven baskets and bins are great boho storage options perfect for keeping towels, toiletries, plants, or other essentials.
15. Decorative Shelving and Furniture
Floating wooden shelves provide extra storage while displaying beautiful accessories like candles, small plants, or ceramic jars. Opt for natural wood or distressed finishes to keep the boho feel. Decorative shelving units are a great way to show off your style while keeping things organized. You can pick from wooden shelves or metalwork. Floating and open shelving makes things feel more light and airy. And can make the room feel less cluttered or full if handled correctly.
For a bohemian look in small bathrooms, choose furniture that saves space too. Corner shelves or ladder-style storage are great for storing towels and using wall space (and saving floor space – for those smaller bathrooms). A vintage stool can double as a plant stand or a side table for your bath essentials. There are also some over-the-toilet shelves that can be really beautiful when you’re trying to save space. These pieces not only save room but also add to the bohemian style.
16. Bold and Artistic Bohemian Tiles
Transforming your boho bathroom can also start with flooring and backsplash. Bohemian bathroom tiles can add a charismatic and artsy look.
Moroccan-Inspired Tiles
Moroccan-inspired tiles are known for their detailed, intricate patterns and bold colors. They bring a design element that makes you feel like things are more natural. Each handmade tile is unique and people tend to appreciate that artistic element that brings. Adding these tiles to your boho bathroom could be one of the things that makes your style stand out even more. Design is in the details. It doesn’t have to be an overwhelming statement. You can incorporate tile work in subtle ways if you want it to be included but slightly less dramatic.
Colorful Mosaic Patterns
For a more nuanced yet eye-catching option, consider colorful mosaic patterns. These tiles can be arranged to create stunning focal points or borders. They add life and energy to even the smallest bathrooms.
From shower walls to the floor, mosaic tiles can turn your space into a cozy sanctuary. They reflect your unique style and creativity.
17. Boho Fixtures
Boho fixtures mix all the organic textures and colors that we talked about.
If you want to go boho-chic for your bathroom you might want to go for a white sink with a golden faucet and gold lighting. It highlights and compliments your boho accessories with the other warm tones.
If you want to go for a more subtle industrial route, that adds a little contrast, black fixtures bring a nice change of pace to a predominantly boho design.
18. Boho-Inspired Soft Furnishings
Imagine plush bath mats or breezy curtains. These details make your bathroom feel lived in. Mix different textures and patterns for a unique boho feel.
19. The Perfect Boho Bathtub
The bathtub is the heart of any bathroom, and in a boho style bathroom, opting for a bathtub over a shower can make all the difference. It’s a statement of style and comfort and makes the bathroom feel much more like a spa. When exploring boho bathtub ideas, think about how the tub’s design and function can come together. This will help create your dream bathroom.
Freestanding Tubs
The simple definition of a freestanding tub is that it doesn’t have any legs. It’s created to stand on it’s own and definitely bring a modern modern luxury touch. You can choose from sleek, modern designs or ornate, vintage styles. Either way, these tubs add to the eclectic mix of accessories and natural elements that define boho personality.
Here’s a couple ideas of what that looks like:
Clawfoot Bathtubs
Clawfoot bathtubs are a little bit more of a vintage style and are in themselves an ode to the beauty of the past. They offer a classic look. Surround it with plants and natural materials to add personality and warmth to the space. It can definitely work well with a more alternative sense of style if you like quirkier things.
Pick a bathtub that fits your space and fulfills your dreams of the perfect boho style bathroom.
Here’s an example:
20. You Guessed It… Greenery
Boho and greenery go together like peanut butter and jelly. It’s one of the simplest smallest details that make the biggest statement in a boho bathroom and I’ve seen very few occasions where it can be overdone.
