Teen boho bedroom advice
Hi Houzzers, looking for some design help please. My 16 y o has decided she wants a boho bedroom but the incredibly expensive bed she has doesn't really fit that look and no way are we getting rid of it. I've read about boho luxe but have no idea what that is. I've attached a pic of the bed so you can see what I'm talking about. There's a built in robe to the right of the bed, and a desk in an alcove at its base (out of shot). The left hand corner is a pile of cushions right now. She'd love a fabric bed canopy but the air con would be right in front of it. Thanks in advance for any help to save yet another expensive mistake

hace 3 añosI would just get great white I enjoy adding some textured elements with large pillows at the back to help minimize the view of the bed head.

hace 3 añosÚltima modificación: hace 3 añosNothing wrong with the bed, but of course it may have been better in cranberry or teal for a boho look. However there are things you can do, yes even with a dark grey buttonback bedhead. Some of those things are scary and some less so. Depends on what boho style she likes. There is the colourful kind.....
and the far more boring naturals kind.
1. You can paint fabric. You can in fact buy car upholstery recolouring spray for this exact purpose. Say goodbye to grey, say hello to cranberry. It will change the feel of the fabric by making it stiffer. But since it's on a bedhead and not say a lounge chair it's very likely to last and not look rubbish once it wears. Bear in mind you won't be able to make the bedhead lighter this way. There is also the option to paint it with acrylic wall paint. You will have more latitude to change the colour since it's solid but it will also take on a stiff and somewhat waxy look and feel resembling leather.
2. buy a morrocan or some kind of intricate pendant for the room.
3. Choose patterned cushions not plain. a trellis design, a velvet, a paisley will all work well., Focus on colour palettes involving orange, fuschia, teal, cranberry, turquoise or pastel versions of that.
4 The side table lamp is fine. You might want to paint or wallpaper the bedside table however.
5. You need voile curtains and a velvet or silk-look-a-like drape. Voile is also excellent to make a bed canopy for a very dreamy and aircon friendly look. One of those oversized mosquito nets above the bed does the trick for $20 and you can even string a set of fairly lights in it for an ethereal look.
6. Get a patterned rug. One of those faded and distressed persian styles is perfect.alexa5013 agradeció a Austere Hamletalexa5013

hace 3 añosHI alexa5013, Marie here.
I've done plenty of Boho Luxe, Boho Chic and Modern Boho designs. The power is in the accessories. You need to shop for that one "inspiration" that will depict your palette and scale of pattern. In the first photo I've attached, my inspiration was this great white rattan chair with a tie-dye style floral pattern. I used green as my base neutral, then layered pinks, purple tones throughout to obtain the boho vibe. A Mix of metals is a must, you need that for sparkle. Find that one piece of art, or a fabric for drapery that both you and your daughter love - then start layering in he remaining pieces in new bedding, artwork, light fixture, lamps - this is truly such a fun look. My "Pink Girls" photo is the mindset of the Boho Girl. But like any good design, you must start with that first inspiration piece as a jumping off point. FYI: boho luxe - is rich colours and textures, mixed and matched with creative flair to create luxury and sophistication. Generally, a more expensive version to the Boho genre.

hace 3 añosLove boho bedrooms, you can create a gorgeous dreamy room, choose beautiful fabrics and textures, floor cushions, textured rugs, wall hanging as suggested for over bedhead would look great, Urban Outfitters, Etsy but try Ebay for a lot less in price, choose a soft colour scheme that way you can add a contrast if needed.
