Boho and Rattan Bed Frames & Headboards (2023 Guide)

February 02, 2023

Choosing the right bed and headboard is crucial when it comes to creating a bohemian-inspired bedroom. There is no doubt that the bed is the center of the room, and the headboard sets the mood for the entire space. So we've come up with this comprehensive guide to help you find the perfect boho bed frame and/ or headboard bedroom combination.

The Beauty of Rattan

Furniture has been made from rattan for centuries. Known for its durability and flexibility, it grows abundantly in tropical climates. Boho-inspired furniture, such as beds and headboards, are often made from rattan because of its unique properties.

The natural, organic look of rattan is one of its main attractions. As well as adding warmth and coziness to a space, it also adds a touch of nature.  Being a natural material, it's also very eco-friendly. 

Creating a bohemian-inspired bedroom is easy with rattan headboards. Simple and minimalistic to intricately detailed weaves or plaits, they come in a variety of styles.  They can also be customized to fit your personal style.

Rattan is also an excellent choice for bed frames. Because it's lightweight and sturdy, you can easily move it around if you want to rearrange your room. In addition, rattan creates a warm and cosy atmosphere in your bedroom because of its natural look.

The Strength of Wood

A wooden bed frame is an obvious choice for a sturdy frame. It's strong and durable and so can carry a lot of weight. As a result of its versatility and adaptability to various designs, wood is an excellent choice for headboards.

It’s completely your choice as to the sort of finish you choose; staining, painting, or keeping it natural all look great.

Bohemian-inspired bedrooms often feature wooden headboards. There are many different designs available from simple and minimalist to intricate and detailed. Wood from reclaimed sources, wood that is carved and wood that has been painted all work well . The natural properties of wood also make it an eco-friendly choice.

The Perfect Combination

Just like sugar and spice, rattan and wood combine beautifully to create the perfect boho bedroom. A warm, inviting and functional atmosphere can be created by the combination of these two materials.

If you're a fan of the boho chic interior trend, or if you're thinking about creating an eclectic kind of bedroom for yourself or for a family member, then this is the video for you. We all know that the bedrooms main focal point is usually the bed so today I'm going to be sharing some of my very favourite Oh inspired beds, headboards and daybeds. Some of my all time favourite boho style beds come from Urban Outfitters.

So we'll start there. The Marty platform bed is a really popular option and it's got rave reviews. The minimal rubber wood frame features a really pretty return inset headboard. If you're someone that bunks their shins on the corner of your bed on a daily basis then you will really appreciate the rounded corners on this lovely bed. The Martini has a slatted base so that means you don't need a boxspring with this bed.

One thing to be aware of is that this bed only comes in queen size at the moment and it's also been having unusually long delivery times. However according to the reviews, it is well worth the weight also side note but look at the lounge chair from the same collection if you don't find the bed by the chair.

Also side side note the design of this chair was heavily heavily inspired by an original 1970s chair designed by John bow calm pronunciation not sure but if you want the originals, a pair of these chairs will cost you $35,000 The rear bed is unlike anything I've ever seen on the market today. It's made out of return and mahogany and it definitely has a very 70s inspired look. It's low to the ground and it features a loop to pretend construction with a graphic linear design.

If you're looking for a bed that's a true focal point. The rear bed is the one for you. This bed is part of an exclusive Urban Outfitters collection called the real collection so if you don't want the bed or need the bed but you like this look then definitely check out the other pieces in the collection like the dresser nightstands and the room divider and the bookshelf.

The Canoga bed is another curvy return option, but it's a completely different style to the previous one that we just looked at. While the rear bed is a lower platform bed without a footboard the Canoga bed is raised up on four legs and has both a headboard and the footboard. A couple of other really nice Urban Outfitters beds are the Bohemian platform bed and the Amelia platform bed.

They're both carved out of sustainable mango wood and designed without a headboard. They both have slatted bases and they come in white and natural actually the Bohemian platform bed comes in black as well. The HANA platform bed from Lulu and Georgia has a really airy and relaxed look to it. Yet at the same time, it also manages to look super luxurious.

This film was also made out of mango wood, and the cane headboard and low footboard really help add gorgeous textural appeal to any room using a boxspring is optional on this one. Although reviewers say that the bed actually looks much better without it. If you somehow landed on this video, then chances are you're probably a fan of the boho interior trend.

So if you're looking for more inspiration or ideas and be sure to go and check my other video, which is how to decorate boho style, I'll link that video for you somewhere here on the screen and down below. Okay, are we still awake? Good because I love this next bed.

It's a wood spindle bed and it's actually sold by a bunch of different retailers and they all call it something different. Amazon calls it the Queen modern wood spindle bed. Walmart calls it the desert fields Mid Century Modern solid wood Queen platform bed. World Market calls it the pine wood spindle Archer bed.

Target calls it the Queen Aurora, Boho solid wood spindle bed. And all modern calls it the Dorinda solid wood bed. See same thing different name, the price difference is negligible between the different retailers but I will say that all modern and target actually have the most colour variations on this bed.

So if that's something that's important to you, then maybe check them out first. The design of this bed is airy and simple but also really elegant. I love it because it's so versatile. I think it's just one of those designs that would pair well with just about anything from Boho to modern farmhouse to mid century.

I also love that it's solid pine and also just like all the other beds we've looked at so far it's slotted so no box spring required. Does anyone use box springs anymore common to be used the box if you're looking for another really versatile option stylized and definitely check out the drama in bed from CB two. It's made out of solid sustainable acacia wood with Angular legs that intersect a low profile platform frame. The open back is complemented by an ivory upholstered headboard.

And speaking of headboards, let's talk about them for a second. Remember, you can always just buy a headboard on its own without having to buy an entirely new bed frame. This can be a really cost effective option. A new headboard can have Have a really transformational effect on the overall look of your room some great boho headboards that I would recommend our queen answer woven return headboard from Target. This one is actually from the jungalow opalhouse collab that was recently released at Target. The Queen minsmere Kane headboard also from Target

Can't go wrong there. A headboard isn't always necessary. But if you do want to headboard and probably stay away from anything like overly tufted unless maybe you're going for like a boho glam look.
