So if you enjoy good vibes, a dorm room that will be envied by all your peers, and you’re looking for a way to let your boho style shine, then you might want to take advantage and read further.

Choosing Wall Decorations 

Now that we’ve got your attention, let’s explore some wall-hangings that may help your bedroom feel a little more like home.

Whether you use driftwood or colorful stones above your bed, or along the walls, the stones will possess a nice bohemian vibe, with the deep purple, hints of yellow and orange, and beige, you may never want to leave your room. Some stores will have the work done for you, and would normally retail for forty dollars or more. Or, if you want to be crafty, or already are, The Lucky Sprout has a step-by-step guide on how to achieve your own crystal wall hanging.

Dormify has the best deals on all types of boho decor, especially for your dorm room. Another great addition to any room is a tapestry. Tapestries come in all different kinds of designs and themes. One of our favorites is the tye dye tapestry. Of course, there are many other designs as well, and many of them aren’t just for boho themed rooms, there are also some for sports, vintage, and fantasy themed rooms.

If you’re anything like us, there might come a time where it becomes difficult to choose a tapestry to drape over your wall. And, oh boy, is it difficult. With so many designs to choose from, and with many that are boho themed, you might be spending an entire day looking at a tapestry that not only represents you, but will fit in your room. Dormify has a large selection of tapestries and wall hangings perfect for any boho room. 

Now, as far as decorating your tapestry goes, the best tip we have would be to use string lights. You are able to purchase string lights from any store, but if you are looking for a specific style, we recommend checking out the lighting section of Dormify’s website, they always have the nicest lights, and they tend to sell out pretty fast. 

Let’s Move on to Boho Bedding 

No matter what your future bedroom looks like, the most important touch is the bedding. 

The bedding is not just the most important thing to consider when creating your boho-styled room, you will also need to make sure it will be easy to sleep with. Issues such as the feel, what it’s made out of, is the main concern many people have with comforter sets. So when choosing a fun comforter and bedding option, remember to stick to comfort too. Pick something that is comfortable, stylish, and matches your look. You can check out plenty of boho inspired bedding options on Dormify.

Now, for the Pillows to Complete Your Boho Dorm Room

Take your bedding to the next level with some decorative pillows. 

In regards to pillows, the number one thing we’d recommend doing, is making your own. Or, grab a white canvas pillow from a store and print your own boho-inspired design onto the pillow. There are many blogs out there that provide instructional videos on how to make your own boho pillows; no sewing required. Mountain Modern Life has listed a video and instructions on how making your own pillows can allow you to be creative. 

Using your own tools and your creative juices, you’ll be able to create and discover new designs that are unique to you, and you did not have to spend a lot to achieve a design you were striving for. Dormify also has some great choices in case you prefer purchasing pillows. So if DIY isn’t really your strong suit, then head to Dormify and check out some of their trendy decorative pillows for yourself. 

Miscellaneous Boho Furniture You Should Think About

Consider a chair cover to go along with your desk chair to make it more stylish 

We all know that desk chairs can be boring, especially if you aren’t able to use your own. That’s why we recommend purchasing a chair cover that will help make your chair more comfortable to sit in. In the case you aren’t able to find a nice chair covering, use a nice decorative throw as a placeholder when you are using your chair. You can also use a chair caddy to add some extra storage space to your desk chair. 

If your university allows shelves to be installed, consider these stylish options 

Even if you don’t need extra storage space, or if your dorm already has shelves, it’s nice to have your own small area to decorate with all things boho, and to also help you make your room feel like home. You can check out a variety of dorm room shelves on Dormify that are perfect for adding your own boho touches with plenty of decorations this school year. 

Aside from Furniture, Consider Using Fake Plants as a Boho Decoration Piece 

Fake plants can give an air of the natural world into your stuffy dorm room 

Aside from being easier to take care of than a traditional house plant, they also represent the good vibes that the boho theme claims to bring. Using fake plants will make your room bloom with radiance and will help make a stressful time during finals week feel calm. Having these plants around will also bring plenty of compliments from your new friends as well, and they also happen to be great conversation starters. Check out these calming plants and planters from Dormify. 

Consider some boho stencils

Stencils add ambiance to a room and help set the tone for a boho-styled room. Instead of painting on the walls, consider using a peel and stick stencil that you can easily remove upon move out. If wall stencils aren’t for you, then try removable wallpaper to help build up those positive vibes your dorm room is begging to give off.

Each style and variation of boho is different, and each person views the colors of the palette differently. Some prefer orange, others prefer yellow and other earthy tones. No matter which color you choose, your boho-styled room is yours to create, and with your brush you are able to paint the canvas that sets up your room. Out of all the websites to inspire you and your boho room, Pinterest is the best choice to get ideas for the layout and Dormify is one of the best for purchasing all of your decor and necessities to help make your room not only your own, but also your home away from home!
