It’s not hard to see why the boho aesthetic has taken hold of so many homes: It manages to be both pulled-together and totally effortless...aka the vibe most of us aspire to as parents!

The boho nursery invites lots of interpretations...from print-mixing to rich textures, earthy colors to vintage details, lush foliage to loads of rattan. Boho nursery decor at its core is an eclectic mix of items that are pieced together to fit your tastes—meaning it’s not supposed to look the same for everyone.

Whether you are into vintage or rock-and-roll, are all about rainbows or monochrome, are a complete minimalist or believe more is more, there’s probably a boho baby nursery design that’s perfect for your babe-to-be’s new space. So, in full bohemian spirit, just relax and soak up the inspiration from these gorgeous boho nursery ideas.

Boho Chic Nursery With Vintage Vibes

You can run wild with a bohemian baby room theme, and one such idea is to make the old, new again. Vintage wall hangings, rugs, and mirrors are perfectly bohemian in affect and easy to manipulate into the bigger picture. If you’re a music fan, try an old guitar; if you’re reaching for a California vibe, a vintage surfboard works. Remember, boho is eclectic, and vintage can be just that!
