Boho Bedroom

Sometimes I look around and feel bored with my current bedroom decor. Bedrooms should be a safe haven where you can retreat and relax from everyday stresses. My old decor was filled with tapestries and a red color scheme in an attempt to accept my mid-twenties I decided to chose a more grown up style going with the "Shabby Chic"style (a decorative style made popular by Rachel Ashwell.) I liked the lived in cozy vintage feel, sort of a mix of bohemian style with classic details like pastel roses and embroidery. Here is a link to give you an idea of what I mean:

Now after a few years of shabby chic living I want a more eclectic, Moroccan, bohemian feel so I am going to work with a few pieces I have from my shabby chic days (like storage units with wicker and chipped paint) and blend these items into my new theme.

I found a quilt I fell in love with on urbanoutfitters.com and they have matching shams as well:

To give this quilt a mixed up lived in vibe I want to pair it with one of these ruffle pillows from pier1.com:


and these feminine curtains filled with ruffles from urbanoutfitters.com...

Victorian style frames, mirror and coat hooks also from urban outfitters can complete this bohemian bedroom.
I hope these ideas have helped and that your bedroom can now fit your personality and more importantly your lifestyle!
