Looking to give your bathroom a refresh that feels both soulful and stylish? You’re in the right place! I’ve been obsessed with boho aesthetics lately, and the bathroom is the perfect canvas for those laid-back, eclectic vibes.
Let’s be honest—bathrooms are often the forgotten spaces in our homes when it comes to decor. We focus on living rooms and bedrooms, while bathrooms get the bare minimum treatment. But imagine starting each morning in a space that genuinely makes you smile? That’s what a boho bathroom can do.
Whether you’re working with a tiny apartment bathroom or a spacious master suite, these 20 Boho Bathroom Decor Ideas will help you create that perfect balance of functionality and free-spirited style. The best part? Many of these changes don’t require a complete renovation or breaking the bank!
Ready to transform your bathroom into a bohemian sanctuary? Let’s dive in!
1. Wooden Bath Tray
There’s something instantly luxurious about a wooden bath tray across your tub. It’s not just practical (hello, safe spot for your phone and that cup of tea), but it adds natural texture that’s essential to boho style. Look for one with built-in compartments for your bath salts, candles, or even a spot to prop up your book.
I recently added one to my bathroom, and it’s become my favorite Sunday evening ritual to set up a little self-care station. Choose one in teak or bamboo for water resistance and that perfect earthy tone.
2. Macramé Wall Hangings
Nothing says “boho” quite like macramé! These knotted textile art pieces add instant texture and visual interest to bathroom walls. The great thing about macramé is that it works in bathrooms of all sizes—even a small piece above the toilet can make a statement.
Look for wall hangings in natural cotton or jute for that authentic boho feel. The neutral colors work beautifully against any wall color, but they really pop against a dark accent wall. And don’t worry about humidity—just make sure to hang them away from direct water splash zones.
3. Woven Storage Baskets
Storage solutions can be stylish too! Woven baskets are the perfect boho bathroom addition that combines form and function. Use them to store extra toilet paper, towels, or bath products while adding texture and warmth to the space.
I love stacking different sized baskets in corners or sliding them under the sink for hidden storage. Look for baskets made from natural materials like seagrass, rattan, or water hyacinth—they add that organic element that’s so essential to boho design.
4. Patterned Turkish Towels
Upgrade your basic bath linens with patterned Turkish towels (also called peshtemals). These flat-woven cotton towels dry quickly, take up less space than traditional terry cloth, and add instant boho flair with their subtle patterns and fringed edges.
Hang them on a wooden ladder or brass hooks for both practicality and style. The best part? They get softer and more absorbent with each wash. Choose earthy tones like terracotta, olive green, or mustard yellow to enhance your boho color palette.
5. Reclaimed Wood Floating Shelves
Add warmth and character to your bathroom with floating shelves made from reclaimed wood. The natural imperfections and rich patina of weathered wood bring authentic boho vibes while providing practical storage for your prettiest bath products or small plants.
Install them above the toilet, next to the mirror, or even in that awkward corner that’s been empty forever. The raw edge of live-edge wood shelves adds an especially organic touch that contrasts beautifully with the typically sleek surfaces in bathrooms.
6. Rattan Mirror
Mirrors are bathroom essentials, but a rattan-framed mirror turns this necessity into a stunning focal point. The textural contrast between the natural rattan and your bathroom’s hard surfaces creates visual interest while reflecting light to make the space feel larger.
Round or sunburst shapes work particularly well for that relaxed boho feel. Position it above your vanity or on an empty wall that needs some love. The warm tones of natural rattan complement almost any color scheme and instantly elevate the entire bathroom.
7. Clay and Ceramic Accessories
Replace those generic plastic bathroom accessories with handmade ceramic or clay pieces. Think soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, and trinket dishes in organic shapes and earthy glazes. The slight imperfections of handmade items add character and that personal touch that defines boho style.
I’m particularly fond of speckled stoneware or terracotta pieces with matte finishes—they feel both timeless and on-trend. Group them together on your vanity for a cohesive look, or spread them throughout the space as little moments of artisanal beauty.
8. Hanging Plants
Plants are non-negotiable in boho decor, and hanging varieties are perfect for bathrooms where counter space might be limited. Spider plants, pothos, and ferns thrive in the humidity and add that lively, jungle-like atmosphere that boho spaces are known for.
Hang them from the ceiling in macramé plant hangers, position them on high shelves to cascade down, or place them on a plant stand in a corner. The vibrant greenery contrasts beautifully with natural wood and textiles while literally breathing life into the space.
9. Vintage Brass Fixtures
One of the quickest ways to elevate your bathroom’s boho credentials is to swap out standard chrome fixtures for warm brass ones. Aged or unlacquered brass develops a beautiful patina over time that feels collected and curated—exactly what boho style is all about.
Focus on faucets, shower heads, towel bars, and cabinet handles. You don’t need to replace everything at once; even changing just the faucet can make a significant impact. The warm metallic tones of brass pair beautifully with the natural materials throughout your boho bathroom.
10. Moroccan-Inspired Floor Tiles
If you’re ready for a bigger project, consider Moroccan-inspired cement tiles for your bathroom floor or as an accent wall in the shower. These intricate patterns in subtle colors add instant character and a global-inspired feel that’s central to boho style.
Not ready to commit to permanent tiles? Peel-and-stick floor tiles or even a printed bath mat can give you a similar look without the renovation. The geometric patterns add visual interest while the muted colors keep the space feeling serene and spa-like.
11. Natural Fiber Window Treatments
Ditch those plastic blinds and embrace natural fiber window coverings like bamboo shades or loosely woven linen curtains. They filter light beautifully while maintaining privacy and adding that essential textural element to your boho bathroom.
For privacy concerns, layer sheer curtains beneath bamboo blinds, or choose a slightly more opaque weave. The natural materials allow for gentle diffused light that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for long soaks in the tub.
12. Wooden Bath Mat
Replace your standard fabric bath mat with a wooden one made of teak, bamboo, or cedar. These wooden platforms are not only practical (they dry quickly and resist mold), but they also add an unexpected natural element to your bathroom floor.
The warm wood tones create a spa-like feel and contrast beautifully with tile or stone flooring. Place it outside your shower or tub for both function and style. Over time, the wood will develop a gorgeous silvery patina that only enhances its character.
13. Textured Shower Curtain
Your shower curtain is a large visual element in the bathroom—make it count! Look for options with texture like tassels, pom-poms, macramé details, or subtle embroidery. Natural fabrics like cotton or linen in neutral tones maintain that relaxed boho vibe while adding visual interest.
I recently switched to a simple unbleached cotton curtain with delicate knotted fringe along the bottom, and it completely transformed my bathroom’s feel. Add wooden or brass curtain rings for an extra touch of boho flair.
14. Handwoven Wall Art
Beyond macramé, consider other forms of textile art for your bathroom walls. Tapestries, embroidered pieces, or small handwoven wall hangings add color, pattern, and that all-important handmade element to boho spaces.
Look for pieces featuring nature motifs, abstract designs, or geometric patterns in colors that complement your overall palette. Just be mindful of humidity—keep textiles away from direct water sources and ensure good ventilation to prevent damage.
15. Jute or Sisal Rug
A natural fiber rug adds warmth, texture, and comfort to bathroom floors. Look for small jute, sisal, or seagrass rugs that can withstand occasional moisture (though keep them away from areas that get very wet).
Position a small round or runner-style rug in front of the vanity or along a bare wall to define the space and add that cozy element. The neutral tones and organic texture perfectly complement other natural elements in your boho bathroom.
16. Amber Glass Containers
There’s something instantly nostalgic and apothecary-like about amber glass bottles and jars. Decant your everyday products like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash into amber glass dispensers for a cohesive, vintage-inspired look that elevates your shower or bath area.
The warm honey tones of amber glass complement the earthy palette of boho decor while hiding the often bright and mismatched packaging of commercial products. Add custom labels for a personalized touch that makes your bathroom feel like a boutique spa.
17. Wooden Ladder Towel Rack
A wooden ladder leaning against the wall serves as both architectural interest and practical storage for towels and robes. Look for vintage wooden ladders or newer versions specifically designed as towel racks, preferably in natural wood tones or whitewashed finishes.
The vertical element draws the eye up, making the bathroom feel taller, while the rustic wood adds warmth. Drape Turkish towels or bathrobes over the rungs, and you’ve got functional storage that doubles as decor—the ultimate boho approach.
18. Statement Wall Mural or Wallpaper
Create a focal point with a nature-inspired mural or botanical wallpaper on one wall of your bathroom. Think large-scale palm leaves, abstract landscapes, or subtle geometric patterns in earthy tones to maintain that boho feel.
For rental-friendly options, look for peel-and-stick versions that remove cleanly. Even covering just half a wall or a small nook can dramatically transform the space. Pair with simple, natural accessories to let the wall design take center stage.
19. Wooden Stool or Side Table
A simple wooden stool or small table adds function and warmth to your bathroom. Place it next to the tub to hold bath essentials, use it as a plant stand in an empty corner, or tuck it under the sink for extra counter space when needed.
Look for pieces with character—maybe something with a live edge, visible grain, or gently weathered finish. The natural wood element is central to boho style and creates a beautiful contrast to the typically hard, cold surfaces in bathrooms.
20. Layered Lighting
Finish your boho bathroom transformation with thoughtfully layered lighting. Move beyond the standard overhead fixture by adding wall sconces with woven or rattan shades, string lights draped along a shelf, or a small table lamp on the counter (placed safely away from water sources).
Soft, ambient lighting creates a relaxing atmosphere perfect for unwinding in the bath. Look for fixtures with natural elements like wood, rattan, or handblown glass to enhance your boho aesthetic while providing that all-important warm glow.
