An Exclusive Guide to Boho Wall Décor

Calling all nomads, wanderers, and born boho-lovers! It’s time to get that carefree, bohemian vibe you’ve always dreamed of. Let your interior reflect your unconventional, adventurous lifestyle.

We’re going to share some simple, cost-effective ways to incorporate boho wall décor ideas and bohemian interior design into your home. Imagine a plethora of plants, careful layering, eclectic patterns, and bold boho wall art ideas. Pair these tips and tricks with some bohemian prints, and you’re good to go!

How do we define bohemian décor? Boho design is the opposite of perfectly matching minimalism.

Being boho is all about embracing colors, cultures, and warmth. Don’t be afraid to mix contrasting patterns and textures to create a one-of-a-kind combo. When it comes to exploring boho wall décor ideas, there’s no holding back.

Don’t be fooled into thinking boho can’t be chic. If you’re just dipping your toe into boho design, try starting with a neutral-based color palette and adding colorful details.

Rules? Who Needs Them

Although this is an article detailing how to properly execute bohemian wall decor ideas, there is no single “right” way to go boho! The good news is, as long as you’re inspired by nature and fearless in your choices, you’ll be a bohemian expert in no time.

It’s always a good idea to stick to deep colors and jewel tones when you’re trying to achieve the boho look. Accessorize with metallic and help the shimmering accents stand out by starting with a base of brown, grey, or dark green. In addition to metallic, you can add splashes of fiery orange, vibrant purple, and cobalt blue. Mix, match, and combine colors to create a one-of-a-kind color palette.

Opt for dyed patterns and vivid textiles inspired by art from all over the world. A couple patterns to consider incorporating include Suzani from Central Asia and Ikat from Cambodia. These patterns will bring a unique touch to an otherwise ordinary space.

Layer colorful throws on your furniture and hang Moroccan tapestries or area rugs on your walls. Hanging ornate rugs as boho wall decor might sound like an offbeat concept, but that’s what makes it bohemian chic!

While saturated colors are a popular choice for boho interiors, white can also be a striking backdrop. Add rich accents and accessories to strategically achieve a curated visual balance that looks carefree.

Unconventional Furniture 

If you want to go boho, truly bohemian furniture can’t be found in mainstream stores. Bohemian homes are often filled with unconventional pieces from thrift stores and second hand shops.

Each piece of furniture should tell a story. It’s important to peruse your local furniture stores for one-of-a-kind pieces that truly showcase your personality.

Plush chairs and bright-colored couches are a great way to achieve the boho vibe. Fluffy floor pillows and shag rugs can create a cozy, hip environment. Invest in relaxed furniture pieces like daybeds, butterfly chairs, and chaises lounges.

Houseplants are absolutely essential to creating the ultimate bohemian space. Hang leafy plants and ferns for an organic feel. Not only will they add a pop of vivid color, but they also purify the air quality. Win-win!

Other low-maintenance plants to consider include peace lilies and snake plants. If you don’t have a green thumb, you can also achieve the same effect with boho wall decor like this sweet cacti wall art.

Do you have any family heirlooms lying around that you want to put to use? A bohemian interior is the perfect theme for incorporating pieces from the past. You can also include handmade items or souvenirs from you travels.

Boho décor tends to air on the side of shabby chic, but that doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate some fine china or other opulent accessories.

A Bohemian Overview

Let’s take a quick look at some bohemian design principles:

Neutral and a Bit Bold:

A boho living space should be an eclectic mix of neutral shades, with added color and texture. If your room is predominantly white and grey, add a colorful knitted throw or an elaborate area rug.

Colorful Combos:

Transform an empty, bland area of the room into an enticing boho sanctuary. Add diverse fabrics and scarf-like curtains to create a tasteful rainbow of colors. Don’t forget the houseplants for an easy pop of green! 

Casually Chic:

Go bold with boho, but don’t forget to say casual! A tapestry is a relaxed way to add color and texture. Decorative pillows will also do the trick! Combine modern and traditional details to achieve the boho look while still keeping it current.

Unexpected Details:

Macramé is a great boho-style accessory. This art form made from distressed knotted rope is super easy to make yourself, and will make all the difference in your new bohemian home.
