Flipping through the Anthropologie catalog is a transportive experience that feels like stepping into a modern Bohemian dreamland. Inspired by the much-coveted Anthro aesthetic, we've pulled together some bedroom DIYs that capture the look, complete with tassels, giant pom-poms and tons of texture. Grab some yarn, your bedroom is about to get a mini Anthro-makeover.

11/12If you've ever wandered through Anthropologie's home section, you've likely admired their unbeatable selection of decorative knobs and drawer pulls (how pretty are these petal-patterned ones?). To get the look using some inexpensive wooden knobs, Ananda of A Piece of Rainbow decoupaged them with intricate designs and was nice enough to share the printable patterns on her blog.
