Boho Inspired Home Decor Crafts bring warm texture and relaxed energy into everyday rooms. From macramé wall hangings to painted clay beads, these projects blend natural materials with a handmade vibe that feels welcoming and lived-in.
I love how a single craft can cozy up an entryway or add personality to a sunlit living room.
Many of these Boho Inspired Home Decor Crafts work well in small apartments or family homes because they use simple supplies and layers of texture. The focus here is on tactile fabrics, woven elements, and earthy colors that make a space feel personal and inviting.
Handmade macramé wall hanging with wooden beads
A macramé wall hanging is a classic for boho decor, mixing cotton cord, wooden beads, and a reclaimed driftwood dowel. The texture comes from knotting patterns like square knots and alternating half-hitches, while beads add a gentle, organic contrast. Pick natural off-white cord and warm wood tones for an airy neutral palette, or introduce muted terracotta and sage for a hint of color. This piece looks great over a bed, sofa, or narrow hallway to add vertical interest without taking up floor space.
Styling Tips
- Layer it above a low console to create a focused vignette
- Mix different fiber lengths for a relaxed, shaggy edge
- Combine with small woven baskets nearby for cohesion
Woven seagrass wall basket collage idea
Group several woven seagrass baskets in different sizes and finishes to create an easy boho wall display. The natural fibers bring warmth, while painted rims or subtle patterns can introduce soft color. Textures range from tight, flat weaves to looser, braided styles that cast lovely shadows when sunlight hits them. This collage works well above a dining bench, staircase landing, or entryway, creating a casual gallery that feels curated without being fussy. The overall palette stays earthy—golden straw, muted brown, and hints of hand-applied white paint.
Styling Tips
- Arrange baskets asymmetrically for a relaxed, organic look
- Mix natural and lightly painted pieces to avoid monotony
- Anchor the layout with a central medium-sized basket
DIY tasseled throw pillow covers from scarves
Turning vintage scarves into tasseled pillow covers adds color and pattern with minimal sewing. Choose scarves in linen or lightweight cotton, fold to fit an insert, and secure edges with a simple stitch or fabric glue for a no-fuss finish. Add tassels made from embroidery floss or leftover yarn at each corner to emphasize the boho feel. Color palettes can be earthy jewel tones or faded pastels, depending on the scarf print. These pillows look cozy on a rattan chair, layered on a sofa, or scattered on a window seat.
Styling Tips
- Mix patterned scarf pillows with one solid in a matching hue
- Keep tassel sizes proportional to pillow dimensions
- Pair with a textured throw for extra depth
Braided jute rug coaster set for table styling
Small braided jute coasters add rustic charm to coffee tables and dining surfaces while protecting finishes. Using natural jute twine, coiling and stitching creates durable rounds with a tactile braid pattern. Dyeing a few in muted shades—pale blue, sun-bleached pink, or soft gray—can create a subtle palette without overwhelming the natural look. These coasters pair well with ceramic mugs and woven placemats and feel right at home on wood or stone surfaces. They’re easy to swap out seasonally for fresh color.
Styling Tips
- Keep a stack on the coffee table for casual gatherings
- Combine with a small woven tray for corralled vignettes
- Mix natural and lightly dyed coasters for contrast
Mini macramé plant hangers for tiny nooks
Mini macramé plant hangers bring greenery up to eye level in small spaces like kitchen windows or compact balconies. Use cotton cord with a simple ring loop and a few knots to cradle small terra cotta pots or hanging glass vases. Natural cord against terracotta and trailing green leaves creates a classic boho trio of texture, clay, and foliage. Keep colors muted—off-white, cream, or soft tan—to let plants take center stage. These hangers fit stair landings, bathroom windows, and clustered above side tables for added vertical interest.
Styling Tips
- Group three at varying heights for movement
- Use mixed pot materials—clay, glass, glazed ceramic
- Place near indirect light to keep plants happy
Hand-painted terra cotta planter patterns
Painting simple geometric or freehand patterns on terra cotta planters gives them fresh personality and ties them into a room’s color story. Use chalky acrylics for a matte, earthy finish and seal with matte varnish. Patterns like dots, stripes, or crescents work well in palettes of warm rust, muted teal, and cream. Paired with macramé hangers or rattan trays, these planters add little moments of crafted detail across shelves and window sills. The clay texture still peeks through, keeping the handmade spirit intact.
Styling Tips
- Mix painted and unpainted planters for balance
- Scale patterns to pot size—small dots on small pots
- Cluster three planters on a sunny ledge for impact
Beaded curtain for a breezy room divider?
A beaded curtain can define an alcove or doorway while keeping an airy feel. String together wooden beads, clay beads, and tassels on sturdy twine, spacing them to allow light and air to pass. Choose an earthy color story—bleached wood, soft sand, and pale amber—or mix in sun-faded pigments for subtle warmth. The curtain reads as both texture and movement when a breeze passes through. It’s an easy way to add privacy to a lofted bed or create separation between a studio’s living and sleeping areas.
Styling Tips
- Hang from a smooth wooden rod for a natural finish
- Keep bead spacing consistent for a polished feel
- Add a tassel fringe at the base for extra softness
Driftwood garland to frame a mirror or shelf
A driftwood garland brings coastal boho character when draped over mirrors, mantels, or open shelves. Collected pieces of driftwood linked with natural jute or suede cord create an organic, sculptural line. Add small shells, painted clay beads, or pieces of sea glass for added visual interest. The color palette stays neutral—sun-bleached wood, soft sand, and off-white—so it layers easily with other decor. This garland feels especially homey when paired with linen textiles and potted succulents for a seaside-inspired nook.
Styling Tips
- Drape loosely for a casual, beachy touch
- Anchor ends around small hooks to keep it in place
- Mix in tiny fairy lights for evening warmth
Fringe wall pocket organizer for small spaces
A fringed wall pocket sewn from heavy linen or cotton canvas offers stylish storage for mail, botanicals, or crafting supplies. Add a fringe trim along the pocket edge and a wooden dowel hanger for a boho finish. Neutral linen tones with faded indigo or rust stitching give a homespun look that complements wooden furniture and woven baskets. This piece keeps flat surfaces clear while contributing texture to a hallway or workspace. It’s a helpful craft to tame clutter while keeping favorite tools or stems within reach.
Styling Tips
- Place near the entry to catch keys and mail
- Slip dried flowers into one pocket for soft color
- Layer smaller pockets above a console for visual rhythm
Clay bead garland for shelf and mantel decor
Clay bead garlands are simple to make and add a handmade rhythm to shelves and mantels. Roll air-dry clay into beads, poke holes, and paint or leave natural. String them with leather cord or cotton twine, adding knots or tassels for detail. A neutral palette of cream, terracotta, and soft gray works well with wooden surfaces and potted plants. These garlands can be looped across a stack of books or draped inside open shelving to create layered texture without overwhelming the space.
Styling Tips
- Drape casually across books and framed photos
- Vary bead sizes to keep the line visually interesting
- Tuck a small tassel into the center for a focal point
Tassel garland for hanging above a crib or bed
Tassel garlands made from cotton or wool yarn add soft movement above beds, cribs, or reading nooks. Make tassels in graduated colors—cream, sandy beige, and muted rose—or keep a monochrome look for understated charm. String them on braided twine or a thin wooden stick for a natural touch. The fringe creates a cozy canopy effect without blocking light, and the tactile yarn pairs beautifully with linen bedding and woven rugs. This is a joyful craft that brings gentle color and texture to a child’s space or adult bedroom.
Styling Tips
- Hang slightly above headboard height for a floating look
- Alternate tassel lengths to avoid a uniform line
- Coordinate tassel colors with bedding accents
Rattan-framed mirror with woven border detail
Framing an inexpensive mirror with a rattan border adds texture and warms a hallway or bathroom. Use thin rattan cane to weave a sunburst or circular border, securing with glue and small tacks. The natural honey tones of rattan pair well with matte black hardware and soft white tiles, creating a relaxed boho look. Mirrors framed this way bring light into narrow spaces and serve as a handmade focal point over a console or vanity. Leave the finish natural or seal with a clear matte coat to protect from humidity.
Styling Tips
- Hang over a narrow console for a welcoming entry vignette
- Pair with a small potted fern or trailing plant
- Mix with framed prints nearby for layered walls
Hand-stitched patchwork throw from fabric scraps
Create a cozy patchwork throw by sewing together fabric scraps—linen, cotton, faded denim—for a boho quilted look. Embrace imperfect seams and a mix of neutral solids with a few patterned squares for interest. Finish edges with blanket stitch or a simple topstitch to keep the handcrafted feel. This throw looks great folded at the end of a couch or draped over a chair, introducing soft color and a storytelling quality from the varied fabrics. The palette tends toward warm neutrals with accents like mustard or soft sage.
Styling Tips
- Fold neatly across the end of a sofa for casual layers
- Include one patterned square to anchor the palette
- Pair with textured pillows to enhance coziness
Painted floor cloth with geometric motifs
A painted floor cloth can act like a lightweight rug for entryways or under a small table. Use natural canvas, prime it, and paint geometric motifs in muted pigments like dusty rose, ochre, and slate. Seal with a durable, matte varnish to protect the surface. The graphic shapes complement woven furniture and macramé accents, and because it’s fabric, it can be rolled up and moved seasonally. This project combines bold pattern with soft color, perfect for anchoring a reading corner or kitchen nook.
Styling Tips
- Place under a round bistro table for a cozy breakfast spot
- Keep other patterns minimal so the cloth stands out
- Use low-profile furniture legs to avoid snags
Embroidered table runner with floral motifs
An embroidered table runner adds a handmade flourish to dining or console tables. Use linen as a base and hand-stitch small floral or vine motifs using cotton embroidery floss in earthy tones—terracotta, moss green, and cream. Keep stitches loose and slightly irregular for a relaxed, hand-done appearance that sits well with mismatched ceramics and wooden utensils. This runner can dress up weekday meals or sit beneath a simple vase of wildflowers. It pairs nicely with woven placemats and vintage glassware for an informal, collected table setting.
Styling Tips
- Keep centerpieces low to maintain sightlines during meals
- Coordinate embroidery colors with nearby textiles
- Layer over a raw wood table for contrast
Shell wind chime for porch or balcony soothing sounds
Collect small shells and drill tiny holes to string them into a simple wind chime that sings in the breeze. Combine shells with pieces of driftwood, small clay beads, and leather loops for hanging. Keep the arrangement airy so the sound is gentle rather than clattery. The visual palette is beachy—cream shells, bleached wood, and tan leather—bridging coastal and boho styles. Hang it near a porch swing or balcony railing where the soft ringing can be enjoyed while sipping tea or reading a book in the late afternoon.
Styling Tips
- Space shells to avoid sharp clinking sounds
- Use a sturdy top piece like driftwood to suspend the lines
- Hang where breezes are steady but not gusty
Leather cord organizer for tidy boho desks
A leather cord organizer keeps charging cables and earbuds neatly wound while adding a warm, tactile accent to a desk. Cut small strips of vegetable-tanned leather, punch holes, and secure with brass rivets to make button-style holders. Leave edges raw or burnish for a smoother finish. The warm tan leather complements wood desks, linen pens cups, and potted succulents—bringing a small handcrafted detail to a workspace. These organizers look just as nice looped in a drawer as they do on a nightstand holding bedside cords.
Styling Tips
- Keep a set in a small tray with keys and coins
- Use different leather tones to identify cords quickly
- Store with cords looped gently to avoid kinks
Framed pressed wildflowers in mixed mats
Pressing wildflowers and framing them creates delicate wall art that preserves summer walks. Use archival paper and simple frames with mixed mats—cream, soft brown, and pale green—to enhance the organic shapes. The textures of dried petals against smooth matboard add a quiet contrast that pairs well with woven shelves and linen curtains. These small botanical pieces work beautifully in a grouped gallery above a desk or bathroom shelf. Each frame is a little memory and brings outdoor color inside without heavy maintenance.
Styling Tips
- Create a small grid or staggered cluster for interest
- Vary mat widths to highlight different blooms
- Mix in a round mirror to break the rectangles
Handwoven lampshade with open weave details
A handwoven lampshade made from rattan or sisal provides warm, patterned light that enhances any reading corner or bedside. An open weave lets light dapple across walls and textiles, creating cozy shadows. Keep the color in the natural range—golden cane, soft tan, or bleached sisal—to pair well with linens and wooden furniture. This shade works with simple lamp bases in matte ceramic or turned wood. It’s a lovely way to add subtle pattern and a crafted feel without overwhelming the room’s palette.
Styling Tips
- Use a warm bulb for soft, inviting glow
- Pair with linen curtains for layered texture
- Keep surrounding decor minimal to highlight the weave
Painted mason jars turned into utensil holders
Upcycling mason jars with sheer paint washes or chalky finishes creates charming utensil holders and vases. Use muted hues—sage, dusty terracotta, or pale gray—so light shines through but color remains soft. Wrap a little twine or leather near the mouth for added texture. These jars are practical at a buffet, on a craft table, or clustered on kitchen open shelving. The mix of glass translucency and matte paint plays well with wooden spoons, ceramic bowls, and woven placemats for a relaxed, handmade kitchen palette.
Styling Tips
- Group jars in odd numbers for a relaxed display
- Vary heights to keep the eye moving
- Use one as a small vase for fresh herbs on the counter
Boho-inspired ceramic jewelry dish project
Handmade ceramic dishes serve as small catchalls on bedside tables or bathroom vanities. Press simple leaf or shell impressions into wet clay, add a watercolor glaze wash, and fire or air-dry depending on the clay type. Neutral glazes in warm cream, soft ochre, or pale sage keep the look gentle and earthy. The tactile rim and organic shape make each dish feel personal and useful. These small ceramics sit well alongside brass rings, a linen hand towel, and a tiny plant for a quietly gathered corner.
Styling Tips
- Place by the sink to hold rings and small jewelry
- Pair with a small mirror for a morning routine station
- Keep one near the entry for spare change and keys
