Boho dorm rooms are super cute, and the best part is they are super easy to create too. There are so many boho decor ideas you can find for cheap, like these velvet pillows from Amazon.

When it comes to colors, warm tones are definitely the way to go. They will create this cozy aesthetic that reminds of Fall.

2. Hat Display

A hat display is definitely one of the most iconic boho dorm decor ideas. Fedora hats were extremely popular a few years ago, so if you already own some, don’t even doubt to use them as wall decor.

The contrast between the brown tones and the whites will create such a unique space!

3. Minimalist Boho Dorm Room

Recreate this dorm room:

There are many variations inside the bohemian aesthetic, but the minimalist boho dorm room is my favorite.

It’s simple, but still has the boho essence. You can implement boho accents in your dorm and still keep everything simple and minimalistic.

Also, moon phase wall hangings are the most elegant boho decor ever!

5. Mix Brown and White

Recreate this boho dorm room:

Brown and white are THE boho color combination by excellence. If you don’t want to go too crazy with your color palette, I highly suggest you stick to these two colors.

Try to keep things simple and play with a white base with brown accents, instead of adding random colors that won’t match and hope for the best.

6. Flower Garlands

Flower garlands are bright and colorful and will add a beautiful vibe to any dorm room. I love how they combined them with string lights in this photo because it creates such a beautiful light effect.

I highly recommend this boho dorm decor idea if you’re going for something more fun and girly!

7. Greenery and Cute Pillows

This combination of white and green tones is super trendy right now. It makes you feel instantly cozier and more at home.

If you want to add more color into your room, adding pillows is such an easy way to do it. Definitely go for yellow, green or orange pillows. My favorite ones are from Urban Outfitters because they always make the perfect colored pillows for a boho dorm room.

8. Fairy Lights on Your Headboard

Recreate this boho dorm:

Another lightning trick that will make your room super cozy is using fairy lights. They are super delicate and subtle, so you can’t even see the string.

I have these ones from Amazon that are super affordable and add a ton of light to my room. I always like to turn them on while watching Netflix or writing in my journal.

9. Wood Furniture and Dark Greens

Recreate this dorm room:

Wood furniture is super important when it comes to decorating a boho dorm room. However, it’s okay if you can afford new furniture, because there is a ton of decor that will add that woody texture you’re looking for.

For example, you can get woven plant pots or a bamboo storage ladder. These accessories combined with white and green tones will look amazing!

10. Greenery Garlands

Recreate this dorm room:

Another way of adding greenery into your dorm is by getting faux Ivy vines. They are super popular right now, so you can get them for cheap on Amazon.

And let’s not forget about macramé! Macramé decor is the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word «boho». There are tons of options and styles for macramé wall hanging that will completely change your room.

11. Floral Bedsheets

Recreate this boho dorm:

Speaking of things that change your room, here’s an important thing to take into consideration: bedding. I highly recommend going for something white with color accents, even better if it’s a floral pattern.

You can search for «boho dorm room bedding» on Amazon and you will find tons of amazing options, but I personally love Urban Outfitters when it comes to duvets and bedsheets. They are a bit more pricey but you can tell the difference in the quality of the fabric.

12. Polaroid Photo Wall Collages

Recreate this boho dorm room:

Vintage and boho always go hand in hand. If you already have a Polaroid camera and some photos with your friends, definitely use them!

You can easily create a wall art collage with your photos and also use your camera as part of the decor.

13. Tapestries and Colorful Patterns

Recreate this dorm room:

Boho dorm rooms are always filled with wall decor. Tapestries, photo collages, mirrors, macramé… you name it.

You can keep it simple and use one of two, or you can make a combination of them all and it will result in such a creative wall decor like this one!

If you need to cover a big wall in your room, tapestries are super helpful. There are so many sizes and designs available and you’ll definitely something that matches your needs and style.

14. Subtle Bohemian Style

Recreate this dorm room:

You don’t need to go «all in» to create a beautiful boho dorm, sometimes it’s as easy as changing your bedding or adding a few prints to give your room that boho touch.

15. A Boho Moodboard

Recreate this boho dorm:

One of the easiest ways to decorate your dorm is by creating a moodboard. Not only it is the cutest wall decor, but it is also a great source of inspiration.

These collage kits from Etsy are super popular right now and you can stick them directly to your walls or pin them on a bulletin board.

16. Retro Art Prints and Salt Lamps

Recreate this boho dorm:

If you truly want to create a boho dorm room, you need to make sure to add a few retro elements.

The bohemian lifestyle is all about reusing what you already have and being conscious about what you buy. Retro art prints are super cool and they will instantly transform your space.

Salt lamps are such a classic and they were already very popular in the 70s. Not only they are cute as a decoration, but their light will also help you relax and calm down.

17. Color Mixing

Recreate this boho dorm room:

If you want to go down the colorful path, there are so many places where you can add color. Starting with your duvet and bed sheets, throw pillows, tapestries, blankets, and more.

Don’t be afraid of mixing warm tones and adding all sorts of patterns. My biggest recommendation is to get a throw blanket with a tribal pattern like this one.

18. Big Mirrors

Recreate this dorm room:

Mirrors are perfect if you want to go for something more neutral and «adult». This one in the photo looks super cute next to the wall hanging plants, but you can definitely find something smaller.

A round mirror on the wall will instantly make your boho dorm room more put together.

19. Macramé and Vinyl Records

Recreate this boho dorm:

Macramé is super popular when it comes to boho decor, but there are other items you can use if you want to go for something different. Vinyl records are a great example.

You don’t even have to use real vinyl records which are bigger and heavier (and probably won’t stick to your wall properly) because Amazon sells fake plastic vinyl records that can be used as wall decor.

I’m all in for the retro + boho vibe of this dorm room!

20. A Leaning Bookshelf and Rugs

Recreate this boho dorm room:

Rugs are a HUGE part of the boho aesthetic, and I have a post where I go through all the different types of rugs that you can read here.

A leaning bookshelf is the cutest furniture piece to fill with cute plant pots and other decor accents. It’s easy to move around and definitely a piece that should be in any boho dorm room.
