If you’re looking for something more classic and straightforward, a wall print gets the job done. Classic rounded and geometric shapes are a safe bet in earthy tones.
Whether you choose an oversized standalone print or a series of a couple, they look charming on the wall.

11. Floral Wall Hanging

Big sunflowers are one of the most classic boho images there are. The tail on each floral can be one material or a whole mix–either way, it’ll make a statement.
12. Patterned Pillows
Pillows can make any room look extra stylish or stylized, so patterned pillows for a boho space make sense.
Look for patterns, textures, and all within your color palette; throw pillows are always a good idea.
13. Doily Dreamcatcher

Like the floral wall hanging, this doily dreamcatcher has the same option to customize the material hanging off of the focal point.
Doilies are a great option to use for the interior of a dream catcher, and each one is as unique as the last.

Try this floral and wood welcome sign if you’re looking for entryway decor or strategic places in your living room for a similar piece.

More commonly known or heard of as a tapestry, it is a quintessential style for anyone who has a boho-style home.
If you’re worried about it looking a little childish, frame it and have it accentuate the colors in the room.

For you upcyclers out there, this fabric rag rug is a classic for a reason. It is perfect between having that eclectic look and having each one being unique.
If you’re looking for a more tailored idea for this, be selective about the colors you use while making it blend in more with your living room.
Start with some fabric from here if you want standout colors.
24. Rattan Light Fixture
Light fixtures can be so boring and bland. Replacing one with a homemade rattan one is a great project.
Make sure you take all your measurements first!
25. Minimalist Shelving
For those who are looking for rustic boho, a minimalist shelving unit strictly made from wooden boards can be a great option.
Have some plans or blueprints to follow, and have everything prepped.
This would also be great on your kitchen wall!

As I have said and will say again, macrame is one of my favorite materials to work with!
This is a great option if you’ve been looking for something to do with the textile a little out of the ordinary. Grab this thinner macrame here.
27. Minimalist Coffee Table
Like the minimalist and rustic bookshelves, coffee tables or end tables are in the same game.
Look around for inspiration; whether you hire someone to make you one or try it yourself, you’ll need to know what you want.
28. Simple Washi Tape Home Wall Silhouette
For those of you with kiddos, a great and easy option that will benefit everyone in this sweet minimalist home shape.
The kids can use their imagination while recognizing this is a designated play place in the living room.
29. Wooden Crates
A great way to stay rustic, boho, and budget-friendly is to buy wooden crates for shelving. They come in a lot of different sizes, but I always like these for starter ones.
30. Hammock
If you want to go all out, commit to adding a hammock to your space! Hammocks allow you to hang around and enjoy the world as it goes by.
You may want to have a stand or other structure instead of relying on anchoring it in your walls, especially if renting.
31. Canopys
It doesn’t have to be anything grand, but a good draping of fabric over a piece of furniture to accent it (and have some privacy) is a great and stylish boho choice.
It can be an old flat sheet to this fun lacy one here.
