A staple to a boho dorm room is warm and neutral tones. Colors like beiges, white, rust, and sage green are good places to start.
Don’t be afraid to mix a bunch of those colors. All of those warm tones go really well together and make the room look so much better than if you just stick to a color or two.

A hat display is a classic boho dorm room idea. You can either use hats that you already have or buy a set of a couple of hats.

Hanging plants are such a cute decoration. Plants make a room look so much fancier and they are so easy.

Flower garlands are another cute and easy decoration for a boho dorm room. These fake vines can be hung across the wall on the long side of your bed like pictured above, or hung behind as a headboard.

Fairy lights are also so cute when it’s nighttime and the lights are off, making the room a super cute hang-out spot at night.
wood accents
Although the school-issued furniture is definitely not the prettiest thing, it isn’t horrible for a boho-themed dorm room because they are wood.
Any additional wood accent pieces you can put in the room make it even better. Depending on how much extra room and floor space you have, you can get one or more of these pieces to add more boho decorations.

Floral bedding is another way to get the flower feel without having actual plants in your room.
This also makes your bed look more decorated without as many throw pillows.

These will look super cute and match all your other decor, while also helping you to stay organized and keep all of your stuff contained.
curtains
To make the room look super impressive, get some sheer curtains for your window. This probably won’t do much to keep the sunlight out, but they will definitely make the room look cuter.
