Where possible, keeping clutter to a minimum really helps with this style, and looking at clever storage options, such as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/ottoman-storage-beds\">ottoman bed<\/a>, enables you to keep everything you need. When there isn\u2019t much room for additional furniture, your art, wall colour and any accessories can help you to create that mid-century modern look.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Bedroom Colours<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Similar to your living room, the colour you choose in your bedroom can really make a difference. The most important thing to decide is whether you\u2019re looking for retro bedroom ideas, or want it to feel more contemporary. If you\u2019re interested in a more retro feel, colours such as mustard yellow, warm browns and burnt oranges are a great place to start. If you\u2019re thinking along the more contemporary lines, soft neutrals will provide the perfect backdrop.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Mid-Century Modern Boho Bedroom Ideas<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10293\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/17160908\/alyssa-strohmann-2r2RUsEU1Aw-unsplash-537x671.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/17160908\/alyssa-strohmann-2r2RUsEU1Aw-unsplash-537x671.jpg 537w, https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/17160908\/alyssa-strohmann-2r2RUsEU1Aw-unsplash-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/17160908\/alyssa-strohmann-2r2RUsEU1Aw-unsplash-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/17160908\/alyssa-strohmann-2r2RUsEU1Aw-unsplash-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/17160908\/alyssa-strohmann-2r2RUsEU1Aw-unsplash-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/17160908\/alyssa-strohmann-2r2RUsEU1Aw-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A bedroom should be a place of calm, a place that inspires a restful night\u2019s sleep \u2013 and a mid-century modern boho design would certainly help to create that kind of feeling. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk\/blog\/bohemian-bedroom-ideas-budget\">Bohemian d\u00e9cor<\/a> is more rustic and brings a certain softness with it.
