22 Boho Nursery Room Ideas
You want a nursery that feels playful, relaxed, and stylish — without looking like a cookie-cutter baby catalog? Same here. A boho nursery checks every box: cozy textures, earthy colors, whimsical details, and just the right amount of “I casually collected all this during my imaginary world travels.”
Let’s dive into 22 boho nursery room ideas you’ll love putting together. Fair warning: You might want to curl up and nap in the baby’s room when you finish. (Happens to the best of us.)
1. Rattan Cribs Bring That Natural Charm
A rattan crib immediately brings warm, beachy boho vibes.
It looks artistic but still soft and baby-friendly.
Ever noticed how natural textures make a room feel alive? Exactly.
Pro tip: Keep it simple with soft white bedding so the crib stays the star.
2. Macrame Wall Hangings for Cozy Texture
Macrame = boho’s best friend.
You can hang a large macrame piece above the crib for an instant statement.
I love how soft fiber art makes the space feel handmade and thoughtful.
3. Layered Rugs for Softness and Style
No boho room survives without layered rugs.
You want comfort for tummy time and a stylish foundation.
Try:
- Jute base rug for earthy texture
- Patterned cotton rug on top for softness
Your toes will thank you.
4. Earthy Color Palette to Keep It Calm
Boho style always leans into warm neutrals:
- Terracotta
- Soft taupe
- Olive green
- Cream
- Mustard
These shades make the room feel grounded.
Plus, your eyeballs won’t twitch at 3 AM feedings.
5. Pampas Grass for That Feathery Flair
Put pampas grass in a vase on a high shelf (aka out of baby’s reach).
It adds a fluffy, ethereal texture.
FYI: Pampas photographed beautifully… great for those baby milestone pics.
6. Wicker Storage Baskets That Actually Look Cute
Toy organization that doesn’t ruin your aesthetic? Yes, please.
Rattan or wicker baskets keep things tidy without screaming PLASTIC EVERYWHERE.
And IMO, they age perfectly as the baby grows and “collects stuff.”
7. A Statement Boho Chandelier
Who said nursery lighting needs to be boring?
A woven pendant or beaded chandelier adds drama (the good kind).
Imagine rocking the baby while soft shadows dance on the walls… dreamy, right?
8. Houseplants… Because Boho Loves Nature
Live greenery makes everything feel fresh and calm.
Try:
- Pothos
- Snake plant
- Spider plant
Just make sure you place them up high because babies eventually grow and climb like ninjas.
9. Cozy Floor Poufs for Kid-Friendly Seating
A pouf works as:
- A footrest while feeding
- A toddler seat later
- A bonus decor statement
Make sure you choose neutral or tribal prints to keep the boho energy strong.
10. Tribal or Moroccan Prints for Visual Excitement
Want pattern without chaos?
Use tribal patterns on:
- Curtains
- Changing pad covers
- Throw pillows
One or two bold prints go a long way.
11. Dreamcatchers Above the Crib
A dreamcatcher adds sweet symbolism and style.
Plus, babies love staring at interesting shapes. Win-win.
Just keep it secure and high on the wall — tiny hands love to grab things.
12. Wooden Name Signs for Personal Touch
Boho style loves handmade personalization.
A wooden name sign looks adorable over the crib.
Ever notice how every room feels cooler with customized art? Exactly.
13. Fringe and Tassels Everywhere
Fringe = instant boho personality.
Try them on:
- Pillows
- Blankets
- Curtains
A few tassels go a long way. Don’t turn the room into a fringe festival.
14. A Canopy for Magical Snuggle Corners
A soft canopy gives you both a cozy escape.
It also turns a reading nook into a mini fairytale tent.
Just make sure it’s securely installed — safety first.
15. Muted Rainbow Accents for Subtle Whimsy
Skip the loud, neon rainbows.
Choose dusty shades like rose, olive, and amber.
The baby still gets that cheerful rainbow charm… without blasting your retinas.
16. Handmade Touches That Tell a Story
Boho style loves pieces that feel personal, like:
- A quilt your grandma made
- Artwork from a local market
- DIY wall decor
These items make the nursery feel warm and meaningful.
17. Patterned Swaddle Displays
Roll swaddles and stack them in open baskets.
They look like decor, not clutter.
Plus, you can grab one quickly during those “oops, another spit-up” moments.
18. Animal Motifs That Feel Whimsical Not Cartoony
Boho nurseries often feature woodland or safari animals.
Pick illustrations that feel artistic rather than super cartoonish.
It keeps the room playful without overwhelming the eye.
19. Boho Wall Mural Magic
You can paint a soft arches mural across the wall or create mountain silhouettes with sage and clay colors.
Murals = big payoff with small effort.
Ever felt proud of a project? This will give you that moment
20. Textured Throw Blankets for Maximum Snuggle Vibes
A chunky knit throw draped over the chair = instant coziness.
You’ll appreciate it during:
- Night feeds
- Morning cuddles
- Any time you question why babies don’t sleep longer
21. Vintage Finds for One-of-a-Kind Charm
Boho style loves mixing old + new.
Browse:
- Antique shops

- Yard sales
A reclaimed wood dresser adds character you can’t buy at big box stores.
And yes, bragging rights come included.
22. A Calming Reading Nook to Grow With
A little book corner encourages bonding and early learning.
Add:
- A comfy chair
- Low bookshelves
- Soft lighting
You’ll build memories here — the best part of the nursery.
