Create The Perfect Bohemian Bedroom With The Help Of A Stunning Accent Wall Color

You don't have to be a big fan of pink to appreciate its design perks. And while you may not rush to the hardware store to grab the latest pink shades when a designer or pro says it's trending, there are some themes and aesthetics that can benefit from a splash of this romantic and fun color. If you're a fan of Bohemian decor and designs, you may want to consider a particular pink-adjacent shade that could elevate your Boho bedroom in a unique way. Blush mauve is a subdued hue that complements the materials usually associated with Bohemian themes, adding a subtle pop of color without taking away from the accessories and furnishings meant to act as the focal points. This shade helps you bring in more color and really makes wood, linen fabrics, and wicker materials pop.

When it comes to designing around a Bohemian style interior, you may already have (or be shopping for) wood furnishings, rattan items, and soft linens to decorate with. Blush mauve is a pink paint shade that will add a splash of color to your accent wall while still keeping the room grounded and creating a flow between your furnishings, textiles, and decor.

When you think about the Boho theme, desert inspired palettes with pink and dusty shades usually come to mind, which is why this color works so well. As far as bedroom paint colors to create a peaceful environment go, blush mauve leans into the more serene side of pink hues, which are considered great for Boho decor, so while it is definitely on the more unusual side, the softer undertones are calming and soothing. Because Bohemian decor and themes are usually very neutral, this is a fun way to add a pop of color that doesn't feel too heavy or overwhelming. If you've always wondered how to decorate with the color mauve, using it as a base color for this aesthetic is certainly a creative way to do so.

You could either use it as an accent wall or in the entire room and it still won't take away from your furnishings and textiles, which are meant to be the main characters of this aesthetic. It will also serve as a warming element that complements the inviting undertones of any wood pieces you have in the room. Earthy and grounding, the blush mauve paint shade offers a fresh take on the Bohemian theme while still keeping with the traditional designs. You can get creative with your accessories and complementary colors too, depending on what palette you are using.

A really creative way to incorporate the blush mauve color is to color drench with it. The shade is so Boho in it's own way, so layering textiles and materials in this color gives you a really warm, soothing space. Double drenching is another option, introducing various hues of the color to add more dimension. Think deep, rich mauves layered with the blush shade, especially in fabrics like curtains, bedding, and upholstery. 

Since mauve does have purple undertones, you could add a more moody and dramatic edge to your Bohemian aesthetic by incorporating eggplant hues, too. Stick with lighter woods, which are typically used in Boho designs, that will help brighten the darker tones you bring in. As this theme is usually known for being light and natural, you don't want to overdo it with the deeper tones, but the light shade of the blush mauve will help to balance darker colors should you decide to incorporate those.
