Do you ever walk into someone’s home and think, “Wow, this feels like a tropical vacation with better Wi-Fi?” That’s the magic of boho plant decor. It’s relaxed, lush, and unapologetically layered—kind of like that friend who always looks effortlessly cool in flowy linen pants. Over the years, I’ve seen so many ways plants can transform a space into a bohemian paradise, and today, I’m sharing 12 of my favorite styling ideas to turn your home into an indoor jungle masterpiece.
1. The “Plant Throne” Corner
Designate a sunny nook as the ultimate plant throne. Think a big statement plant—like a fiddle leaf fig or monstera—surrounded by smaller friends on tiered stands or hanging nearby. Bonus points if you layer in some floor pillows or a low pouf for seating.
2. Macramé Magic
Let’s talk macramé. Hanging planters are the unofficial mascot of boho plant decor. Hang them at varying heights to create visual interest. (Pro tip: don’t hang them too low unless you enjoy walking into trailing pothos leaves.)
3. Vintage Finds and Upcycled Pots
Forget cookie-cutter planters. Hit up thrift stores for funky ceramic pots, or repurpose items like tin cans, baskets, or even old teapots. The mix-matched look screams boho charm.
4. Layered Rugs and Greenery
Layering rugs isn’t just for floors—extend that vibe upward by placing your plants at varying heights. Stack a rug or two under a plant stand or a basket planter to anchor the look.
5. Statement Shelving Units
If you’ve got a blank wall, fill it with a ladder shelf or open shelving packed with plants, books, and boho trinkets. Pro tip: Keep the plant-to-book ratio in favor of the plants—because it’s a jungle, not a library.
6. Trailing Plants Galore
Nothing says “boho jungle” like plants that cascade dramatically. Think pothos, string of pearls, or spider plants. Let them drape off shelves, mantels, or even your fridge (yes, I’ve seen it, and yes, it works).
7. Baskets, Baskets, and More Baskets
Baskets are your secret weapon. Use them as planters (just pop a plastic tray inside), storage, or even as hanging decor. Plus, they add texture and warmth that’s essential to boho decor.
8. Hanging Garden Vibes
Create your own floating garden with wall-mounted plant shelves or hanging rails. Perfect for herbs in the kitchen or small plants in the living room.
9. The Bathroom Oasis
Yes, you can boho-fy your bathroom. Ferns, snake plants, and peace lilies thrive in humidity, and they’ll give your bathroom spa-like vibes. (Pro tip: try a hanging eucalyptus bunch for a bonus aromatherapy shower moment.)
10. Window Wonderland
If you’ve got great natural light, don’t waste it. Line your windows with plants in varying heights and textures. Bonus: They double as privacy screens.
11. Over-the-Top Terrariums
Bring out your inner kid with oversized terrariums. Fill them with moss, tiny ferns, and maybe even a whimsical figurine or two. Place them on a coffee table or shelf for a touch of fantasy.
12. Mix in Boho Accents
Plants are the star, but don’t forget their co-stars: think rattan furniture, fringe throws, beaded curtains, and earthy tones. It’s like putting on the perfect pair of earrings—plants love accessories, too.
There you have it—12 ways to embrace boho plant decor and live your best indoor jungle life. Whether you’re going all-in or just adding a few leafy touches, remember: boho is all about personality and imperfection. Mix textures, layer greenery, and let your space feel relaxed and lived-in.
