Let your inner princess shine and show your love for the color pink with these pink décor ideas and inspirations.

The color pink often gets a bad rap in both fashion and décor. I can remember eschewing pink growing up for its patriarchal connotations, but as I grew older, I realized I could be a feminist and still love the color pink. Pink is just a color and those of us who love it shouldn’t let the baggage that has weighed the color down to erode the joy we get from the color. Read on to get inspired to go with pink décor.

Pink has it rough in both fashion and décor. It’s seen as a color for girls only and shades from petal to hot are mocked incessantly. But pink is a fabulous color. Everyone looks good in pink and that is reason enough for me to cover my person and my walls in every shade imaginable. And lest you think that pink décor only belongs in a bedroom of a tiara-wearing Kindergartener, think again.  From the Mid-Century Modern décor fiend to the bohemian eclectic, pink décor can be incorporated into any room and any style décor. All that matters is that you love it.

I have put together a wonderful round up of pink décor finds from wallpaper to planters and everything in between. Whether you want to go full on pink from floor to ceiling, or just to add a pink accent or two, read on to get inspired to bring the color into your space in every hue from blush to fuchsia!

Have you always dreamed of turning your space into the perfect oasis filled with bohemian decor, but don’t know where to start?

Furniture pieces are the bones of home decorating. And once you have a good foundation, then you can work your way up by adding decorative flourishes–like poufs, tapestries, macremè, baskets, textiles, and more–that make up a bohemian home.

While it can be easy for many free spirits to decorate their spaces with art, found objects, textiles, and other bohemian home appointments, choosing good, quality furniture pieces is a somewhat daunting task. If you’re not careful, your bohemian space might come off more like a thrift shop than a living space. To clarify, there is a tendency to create a boho-chic space that looks “thrown” together.  But, it is possible to create a bohemian space that is carefully curated full of delicious furniture pieces. There seems to be a misconception out there that a creative space must look haphazard. While that may be true if that’s how your creativity speaks to you, some creatives like a more ordered bohemian chaos. And furniture is the place to start. We offer you some inspiration below.

Bohemian Decor Furniture Inspiration

1. Retro Accent Chair

This perfect patchwork chair is greater than the sum of its parts. The combination of retro and modern is sublime. It is also the ultimate chair just made for a reading nook.

2. Z Chair

And if you are looking for a chair that is more of a foundation for all the print and pattern you plan on adding, start with something more basic like this modern-inspired and comfort-driven chair. Do go for a bold or bright color, though.

3. Velvet Sofa

One thing we are certain of is that you absolutely need  a velvet sofa. No other sofa says “boho” quite like velvet. This one is available in 19 different colorways from scarlet to forest. Love.

4. Marble Topped Coffee Table

A coffee table is a must in a boho space, and we love this communal marble-topped version. The round shape and mix of wood and marble make it both inviting yet elegant and chic.

5. Bar Cart

Looking for someplace to tuck away everything from plates, bottles of booze, or back issues of National Geographic, this rattan bar cart is just eclectic enough to fit into a boho space.

6. Console Table

Whether you use it on which to place your television or collection of vintage blue glass, a console table is a useful foundational furniture item. We love this oak slab version made using reclaimed wood from local sources.

A carefree spirit in a long, flowy skirt, rocking even longer locks, with wanderlust in her heart. Bellbottomed teens on Haight-Ashbury; Jack Kerouac books; the Beatles in India. Bohemian style embodies adventure, exoticism, free-spiritedness and a sense of creativity and spiritualism. Bringing this vibe into your home—without making a mess of faded prints—can be a challenge. Here’s how to master it.  

Bohemian style isn’t just for fashion, it’s also a home decor style embodying that same free-spiritedness and exotica. As a decorative statement, boho is a super-sustainable look because there is an emphasis on re-use and using natural fabrics, vintage materials and taken-from-nature elements.

Bohemian home decor is about creating a welcoming and comfortable space that reflects a love of the exotic, prints from foreign locales, lots of color,uncommon textures, and the unusual. There is a lot of layering in the Boho Style (both in fashion and home decor) and it’s best to think about it as if layering on a canvas—with the finished product looking like a painting from Gustav Klimt.

Bohemian Style Project Ideas

Bohemian Style Mason Jar Lanterns

Image: Free People

Take mason jars, or salvaged glass jars from the recycling bin, and decorate them with glass paint markers. Use geometric or paisley motifs or search Pinterest for boho pattern inspiration. Use pliers to bend an old wire coat hanger into a frame and hook. And a candle for boho romance!

Lace Doily Dreamcatcher

Image: Lune Vintage via Etsy

Using a lace doily, a large metal loop, lightweight yarn and natural elements like feathers, stones and shells to make a gorgeous dreamcatcher like this example from Lune Vintage. Hang it over your bed for a stunning boho look–and to catch all your dreams.

Painted Stones

Gather up from stones on your next walk along a river or in the woods and “paint” them with permanent markers. Use natural motifs like feathers, ferns and leaves for a truly nature inspired creation. Place them on the coffee table or even use them for tablescaping at your next dinner party.

Boho Fabric Bunting

To create a simple boho bunting, take fabric scraps and tie them to some jute string. Use old cotton sheets, curtains, skirts, blouses, aprons, tablecloths with bright patterns.
