Luckily, it's one of the easiest design styles to pull off. You can easily add character to white walls with the help of warm earthy colors, patterns, natural textures, and unique wall decor, and these picturesque ideas will show you how it's done. Renters and homeowners, take note: Here are nine white bohemian bedrooms to turn those sweet interior daydreams into a reality.

7. Go global.
Influences from traveling are rife in the world of bohemian decor, so don't be afraid to dig out your vacation souvenirs circa 2000. Think Mexican bowls, Moroccan rugs, and handmade textiles.

8. Work a monochrome palette.
You know there are plenty of different shades of white to choose from, right? The beauty of an all-white bedroom is that you can add in a myriad of different shades to keep the look interesting. Even the wall art in this bedroom designed by Three Birds Renovations has been blasted with a white overlay. Bright white, subtle shades of cream, and a few grayish hues will help to create a monochrome scheme that looks anything but boring.
