How We Picked
To select our picks for this roundup of best Bohemian pillows, we emphasized the following factors.
Aesthetics
This was our number one criterion for this roundup. A Bohemian pillow needs to meet the Bohemian aesthetic, so we only included color schemes and designs that fall under that category.
But that doesn’t mean all of these pillows look the same. A ton of colors and design schemes fall under the “Boho” umbrella, so you’ll still find plenty of options to choose from. There should be a design or color scheme to suit pretty much every Bohemian taste.
Hidden Zippers
If you’re searching for a Bohemian pillow, then you probably have your hopes set on achieving a certain look. And that means you probably don’t want a big ‘ol zipper detracting from your decorative pillows’ design. For that reason, we prioritized pillow covers with hidden (or “invisible”) zippers. They’ll hold a pillow insert in place without diminishing the pillows’ visual effect.
Materials
Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to materials. Some people like the feel of cotton, others prefer linen or polyester, and so on. We included pillow covers in a variety of materials so you can choose whatever suits your preferences when it comes to feel and durability.
Sleepopolis Buying Tips
Trying to choose the best Bohemian pillows for your bedroom? Think about the following:
- Design. This is the biggest factor distinguishing different Bohemian pillows from each other. If you have strong feelings about colors or design, this will help you wade through a sea of options to settle on the right look for your bedroom.
- Materials. Do you want pillow covers made from cotton? How about linen or polyester? The materials in a pillow sham can affect its feel, breathability, durability, and so on. Your preferences on this front can help narrow a search.
- Quantity. If you’re trying to cover multiple pillows, then you probably want color-coordinated covers. Buying covers that come in multipacks can ensure a cohesive look.
Bohemian pillows can add a pop of color and vibrancy to your sleep space (or any other room). To find the best Bohemian pillows for your needs, think about your preferences when it comes to aesthetics, materials, and quantity. Then get ready to enjoy a whole new bedroom look!
