Looking for boho mediterranean decor with a little more personality? Think rust-colored bedding, arched doorways and big basket-style lights.
These rooms and outdoor spaces give you plenty to work with, whether you love pale neutrals or want a few brighter colors.
You can keep it simple or go all out. Start with a patterned rug or a favorite vase, then decide whether you want to bring the look into a whole room.
I especially love the courtyard seating and the blue doorway!
Boho Mediterranean decorating ideas to save
white sofas and exposed beams
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous open living space. I love the long brown ceiling beams above the white sofas.
The patterned rugs and tan pillows give you a little color without taking over.
If you want to try a smaller part of this look, pair a low bench with a rounded vase beside your seating.
rust bedding and botanical prints
How pretty is this rust-colored bedding? The matching pillows look so good against the white bed, with pale botanical prints hanging above.
Try a large basket-style pendant beside the bed instead of making every detail small. Keep a simple bowl and a vase of dried stems on the round bedside table.
a curtain inside the arch
This doorway may just be one of my favorites here. I love the wide brown frame and the pale curtain tied to one side.
You can still see the pink chair through the opening.
A leafy plant on a little stool is a lovely detail to borrow, even if you don’t have an arched doorway.
curved seating and pink flowers
I am obsessed with this courtyard. The curved cream seating follows the wall beneath all those bright pink flowers.
That large tree in the middle makes the whole setting even prettier.
For your own patio, try grouping pale cushions along a curved bench with a low round table in front.
basket lights over the island
If you love a pale kitchen but still want plenty of detail, this one is for you. The veining runs right down the end of the island, with basket-style pendants hanging above.
My favorite little touch is the patterned runner beside the cabinets. Try something similar if your kitchen needs a bit of color.
orange shower tiles and greenery
How gorgeous is this shower wall? The orange and brown squares have slightly different shades, so there’s plenty to look at without adding a pattern.
I love the gold-tone showerhead against the tiles. The black enclosure frame and large green leaves are worth saving for your bathroom mood board too.
pink flowers in oversized pots
This outdoor ceremony setup has such a pretty detail to borrow. Pale pink flowers and tall feathery stems fill a big reddish-brown pot, with more arrangements continuing along the aisle.
You don’t need a whole row for your home. Try one similar arrangement beside a covered entry, leaving plenty of room to walk past.
a big pendant over the table
Don’t want to fill your dining table with lots of decorations? No problem!
This long brown table has just a leafy plant in a basket at the center.
I love the oversized openwork pendant above it. The curved chairs with pale seat cushions are just as pretty.
mustard seating and colorful stripes
Calling all color lovers, this one is for you. The mustard-yellow seating is covered with orange, red and patterned pillows.
There’s even a bright striped rug beneath the low table.

Pick one of those rug colors for your own cushions if you want to try the mix without copying every pattern.
stepped ledges and tall vessels
Don’t want to go overboard with accessories? Look at this simple arrangement of vessels on stepped cream ledges.
I love the little arched brown door below.
Try leaving space between your favorite pots rather than lining them all up together. Their different handles and shapes deserve a little attention.
an arched mirror above a bench
This is such a pretty entryway idea. The tall arched mirror sits above a simple brown bench, with a large leafy plant beside it.
Keep the bench styling simple with a draped throw and a small dish. I’d leave some empty space for a bag when you come through the door.
rust stripes and a little desk
If you want something a little different from plain cream walls, try these rust-and-cream stripes. They continue around the corner behind the desk and the pink-brown daybed.
The round mirror surrounded by botanical prints is my favorite part. A dark green pillow brings in another color without needing more wall decor.
a balcony with hanging shades
How cute is this little balcony? There’s a pale sofa, a curved chair and a round table tucked between them.
The large hanging shades are hard to miss!
I love the white curtains behind the seating. If you’re borrowing this idea, choose curtains and lighting suited to your balcony’s outdoor conditions.
a tan rug with a cream border
If you’re looking for one detail to start with, this rug is a lovely option. The tan center has a wide cream border with raised diamond patterns and fringe.
Keep your seating pale like the gray sofa here if you want the rug’s pattern to be the main detail.
a brown wall and curved headboard
I love this bedroom’s simple cream and brown palette. The rounded corners of the openwork headboard look so pretty beneath the two gold-tone wall lights.
Try a smaller brown cushion in front of pale pillows to follow the same arrangement. You don’t need lots of different colors for this one.
blue and white inspiration
Want to bring a little blue into the mix? This inspiration collage gives you plenty to choose from, including striped cushions, patterned dishes and a bedroom with a blue throw.
I especially love the blue-and-white pillows against the pale bedding. Start there if you want to try the colors before changing a whole room.
a reading spot beside the window
This little reading corner is so pretty. A low cream seat sits beside the window, piled with textured pillows and a long fringed throw.

The arched recess behind it holds a framed print and small shelves of books. Add a leafy plant beside your own reading spot if you like that extra bit of green.

a hanging chair and rounded fireplace
There’s so much to love in this room, from the hanging chair to the rounded fireplace opening. I’m especially drawn to the little arched seat at the back with its landscape scene.
For a smaller change, try a round coffee table with a vase of feathery stems. The blue-and-yellow cup here adds a lovely bright touch.
string lights above outdoor dining
I am obsessed with the lights above this outdoor table. The tiny strings hang across the overhead slats, with large basket-style pendants below them.
Try mixing low greenery with a few lanterns along your own dining table. Keep the taller pieces away from the space between guests so everyone can see each other.
a hat wall and blue doorway
Last but definitely not least, we have this fun hallway display. I love the oversized hat surrounded by smaller hats and patterned baskets.
The bright blue door trim makes it even better.
Try arranging your largest piece first, then add smaller shapes around it. Let the spacing stay a little uneven like it is here.
