Earthy bedroom design principles

As you draw inspiration from the natural world to create your dream space try to keep these sustainability and minimalist principles in mind: 

• Don’t feel like you have to buy or incorporate everything on this list! Just use it as inspiration and add your own unique flair. 
• Try to buy your home decor second-hand at a thrift store, flea market, vintage shop etc. Earthy bedrooms are all about vintage, rustic, and natural anyway! 
• Use what you have or repurpose items. Many of the decor tips on this list can be made with items you already own! 

The Best Earthy Bedroom Ideas

1. Decide if you want an eclectic earthy bedroom aesthetic 

This earthy bedroom design incorporates plenty of fun knick-knacks, all the plants, fun textures, and colors! 

This style is perfect for you if you want a unique and homey vibe to your bedroom. 

2. Or if you want a minimalist earthy bedroom aesthetic 

If you love the idea of a nature-inspired bedroom but you prefer a more calm look to your space, I would go for the minimalist earthy bedroom aesthetic.

It still has all of the warmth of the maximalist style but it is more toned down. 

3. Use a round mirror to mimmic shapes in nature

It is rare that you find perfect angles in nature. By incorporating a round mirror it helps to mimic the imperfect yet beautiful side that you naturally find outdoors! 

Mirrors also help to make your space look bigger if you are trying to pull off the earthy bedroom design in a small bedroom!

4. Use floor-length curtains to elongate your space. Bonus points if they are sage green!

Long curtains help to give off that dreamy and cozy vibe to your space. I

love these sheer sage green curtains because they tie in perfectly with the plants and let just enough light in to keep things bright and airy. 

5. Cover your headboard with burlap or another textured material

If you are looking for an easy diy bedroom idea recreate the headboard above with some reclaimed wood.

Then stretch burlap material over it to create your very own unique headboard!

6. Upcycle bottles and decorate with dried flowers or grasses

Hold onto those old glass bottles! Clean them out and dry them in the sun. They make the perfect diy vase for dried flowers and pampas grass.

If you don’t have a green thumb this is the perfect way to incorporate a more natural element without having another thing to care for. 

7. Make a terrarium to showcase the natural beauty of the earth

Create your own little ecosystem in your bedroom. There are so many different ways to make a terrarium.

The one above is made with sand and air plants which is incredibly easy to maintain! You can also use succulents (like mini cacti) which are also low effort.

These displays are perfect on your bedside table or ottoman!

8. Use a room divider for hidden storage and to cover blank walls

I am obsessed with rattan room dividers because they serve multiple purposes!

If you have a small bedroom they are the perfect way to create extra storage space in a tasteful way. They also bring more color and texture if your bedroom has boring white walls! 

9. Treat yourself to a bouquet of flowers

An earthy bedroom of course needs the earth in it to achieve the aesthetic!

Head to your local farmer’s market or garden and make a bouquet to truly bring the outdoors into your space. 

 10. Thrift raw wooden furniture for a rustic look

Choose unfinished or lightly stained wooden furniture for a more rustic, grounded look.

This could be a wooden bench at the foot of the bed or a reclaimed wood bed frame. 

11. Add nature-inspired wall art

Use wall art prints or framed art to showcase the beauty of nature in an artistic way! We have plenty of bedroom wall art to choose from or you can DIY your own!

Prioritize art featuring landscapes, botanical prints, or animal-inspired designs to complete the earthy vibe.

12. Create a cozy ambiance with earthy lighting

Skip the harsh overhead lighting and add in various unique light sources. Check out your local vintage shop or flea market to find a piece that works for your space! 

13. Create a mini forest in your room

You can’t have the earthy bedroom aesthetic without at least some plants! Check out this post all about great beginner houseplants if you are new to having houseplants! 

14. Get a salt lamp that has a dimming effect for a cozy atmosphere.

I am obsessed with my salt lamp! Who wouldn’t want a glowing crystal lamp on their bedside table? Try to get one that has a dimming effect so you can set a relaxing mood. 

15. Wicker or rattan furniture for various seating areas

Incorporate wicker or rattan chairs for extra seating. To make your bedroom extra relaxing create a few seating areas if space allows.

I love this flower-shaped rattan chair that is perfect to use at your desk! 

18. Create a forest-themed reading nook

Mix a few ideas on this list to create the most dreamy reading nook. When you can’t make it to your favorite trail or outdoor space to relax and rejuvenate you can enjoy your own natural space to recharge.

Use different heights of plants to mimic how plants naturally grow outdoors and to make the area look more abundant.

19. Get creative with storage solutions if you are decorating a small bedroom

Upcycle an old ladder to store blankets, coats, or accessories! Vertical storage is the best way to keep your floors clear and keep your room tidy.

Anywhere you can incorporate a bit of extra wood in your space the more it will have that earthy feel. 

20. Woven baskets for extra storage space

Replace plastic or metal storage bins with woven baskets for a natural touch. Basically any thrift store you go to will have these! They create great storage options for cozy throw blankets, shoes, etc. 

21. Bring the stars into your space and create soft lighting

Use fairy lights to mimic the look of the night’s stars. These look beautiful in your room both in the day and night. 

22. Use layered textures to create a cloud-like bed

  Mix and match cozy throws, linen sheets, or chunky knit blankets for a warm, inviting bed. Pile on soft pillows and decorative pillows to make your bed look voluminous and give the look of sleeping in a cloud. 

23. Use earthy scents to involve all of your senses

Bedroom decor is not just the visuals! It is also the atmosphere that is created in your space through your other senses.

Use essential oils or candles with cedarwood, sandalwood, or patchouli to bring in the scent of nature.

24. Make the space your own with a unique earthy bedroom color palette. 

It is easy to automatically go for green and brown as your color palette. And there’s nothing wrong with that! 

But don’t forget there are plenty of ecosystems that you can use as inspiration in your earthy bedroom decor. 

From desserts to forests and even the ocean, there are tons of ways to reflect your love of nature in your space. 

Earthy colors to give that cozy feel to your space

Whether you want to start with a neutral color palette and build off of that with earthy bedroom decor or stick to classic earthy color palettes there are plenty of ways to get your color scheme just right. 

Below are some natural tones to achieve your earthy bedroom oasis: 

• Warm Beige – A soft, neutral base that mimics sandy beaches or sunbaked stones.
• Terracotta – A rich, warm orange-brown that brings to mind clay and sun-drenched earth.
• Olive Green – A muted, calming green inspired by forests and foliage.
• Deep Brown – A grounding color that reflects the richness of soil and wood.
• Muted Mustard – A golden yellow that adds warmth without being too bright, like fields of wheat.
• Dusty Rose – A soft, earthy pink that brings warmth and subtle color.
• Slate Gray – A cool, grounding shade that mimics stone or the sky on a cloudy day.
• Soft White – Crisp, clean, and airy, like clouds or linen, perfect for balancing deeper tones.

I hope this list gave you plenty of inspiration to create your earthy space exactly how you want it! Between mixing earthy tones and natural textures you can easily create a space that feels grounding, cozy, and all your own.
