You’ve seen it in magazines, beauty salons, and themed vacation rentals. And you love it! Boho decor speaks to you when you see it because it brings a smile to your face and freedom to your soul. Now it’s time to bring that joy into your space with some choice of Boho decor pieces that can liven up any space.
What is a Boho Decor?
The design term “Boho” is short for bohemian. By definition, Boho decor is often characterized as being free-spirited and eclectic, drawing inspiration from different cultures and eras (particularly those of the Middle East and Africa). Boho decor mixes all sorts of patterns, textures, and colors, including elements of vintage, handmade items, and natural materials.
Boho-inspired spaces often feature a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere with comfortable seating options such as floor cushions, bean bags, and poufs. Meanwhile, layered textiles, such as rugs, blankets, and tapestries, add a layer of coziness to the feel of the design.
Overall, boho decor is a great way to create a unique and inviting space that feels like a reflection of your personality. Are you ready to transform your space into a Boho den of joy?
How Boho Decor Can Transform Your Space
Boho Decor can take your space from humdrum nice to your own personalized space where you find joy and peace.
Here’s how we transform your space without making it feel cluttered or busy:
- Add vibrant color: Boho decor is bold in its color choices. By incorporating colorful accessories, textiles, and artwork, boho decor can brighten up any room and add a lively atmosphere.
- Bring on the texture: Textures are key to the boho style. The use of natural materials, such as wood, jute, rattan, and woven textiles, add depth and interest to a space.
- Invite comfort: A boho-inspired space is all about creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Soft textiles, such as blankets and pillows add comfort to any space, plus they’re a great way to squeeze in layers of fringe and exotic patterns that accentuate the feel of boho interior design.
- Express your personality: Boho decor is all about expressing your individuality and incorporating elements that reflect your personal taste and style. Whether it's a unique piece of art or a vintage rug, a boho-inspired space isn’t afraid to mix and match mediums for a truly unique look that’s full of spirit and spunk.
- Mix it up! With Boho décor, it’s okay to mix it up. A vintage candelabra paired with a rustic side table. Colorful modern art within a woven textured picture frame. By incorporating different styles and cultures, a boho-inspired space can create a unique and interesting environment.
PRO TIPS:
✅ Baskets are an excellent way to add texture and functionality!
✅ If you have kids and don’t want to have to worry about washing blankets constantly, then add comfort with creative floor seating options like poufs, floor cushions, or bean bags. They’ll add to your style and fun to the setting, and kids love them.
✅ You have two options here to keep the boho under control. You can either have bright, vibrant walls with neutral accessories or you can have a neutral-colored wall that acts as a canvas for colorful decor.
✅ If you need inspiration to find your style, go to an arts and craft show, flea market, or fair. There’s always a mix of eclectic art styles. See what draws you in.
Now that you’ve got the principles behind Boho, let’s find the right pieces for you to bring into your new boho space.
Make a Statement with Boho Wall Decor
Boho wall decor is a great way to add personality and interest to a space. And you can get super creative with macrame wall hangings, tapestries, and ceramic platters. If you already have a variety of eclectic pieces you’d like to showcase, you can create a gallery wall to display them all. Boho wall decor doesn’t have to be all pictures. Mix it up with display walls of 3D art like pottery or ceramics. Bring some texture with macrame or tapestries. Find pieces that make it your own.

Brighten a Space with Unique Lighting
Lighting is often overlooked when it comes to room design, but it’s important to know how to use light and shadows. Special lamp shades, glass lanterns, and intricate bases can all be used to tie in the boho feel while also giving a space functionality. Here’s a good example of what we mean.

How do you finish a space? If you’ve ever watched any HGTV shows, you know the answer. They stage it. The flowers are fresh. The windows are clear. Those scones on display are still warm. Then, they perfectly fluff the pillows and set them on the couch.
