23 Boho Nursery Ideas That Will Spark Total Rhapsody

Note: While these nursery photos are gorgeous, please know that it’s NOT safe to place stuffed animals, pillows, bumpers, or any loose items inside your infant’s sleep space until Baby is a year old. —Dr. Harvey Karp

It is 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 colours 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 is 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 is probably a boho baby nursery design that is 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.
