Oh, the holidays—the time to deck the halls, cozy up, and let your creativity shine. But what if your holiday style could hang around all year long? Enter boho Christmas decor. It’s relaxed, colorful, and oh-so-effortless—just the vibe you want for a laid-back holiday season that doesn’t scream “seasonal aisle.” Plus, it’s the kind of decorating that feels just as at home in February as it does in December. Trust me, as someone who’s styled more spaces than I can count, boho is the gift that keeps on giving. Let’s dig into 13 ideas that’ll make your holiday decor a vibe worth keeping.
1. Macramé Garlands as Tree Trimmings
Why go for the usual tinsel when you can add a little boho charm with macramé garlands? These knotted wonders add texture, and bonus—they double as decor for other parts of the house when the tree comes down.
2. Layered Rugs for Cozy Corners
Layer a couple of colorful, patterned rugs in your living space for a boho-approved cozy vibe. It’s perfect for that holiday gathering and still feels fresh in July.
3. Driftwood Holiday Displays
Trade the plastic wreaths for a driftwood arrangement. Hang ornaments from it or use it as a centerpiece—either way, it’s boho perfection.
4. Earthy Ornaments
Think clay, wood, and even hand-painted ceramic ornaments. They bring a natural, down-to-earth vibe to your tree.
5. Woven Basket Tree Skirt
Forget the traditional tree skirt and place your tree in a large woven basket. It’s rustic, practical, and incredibly boho.
6. Tassel Stockings
Who says stockings need to be boring? Add some fringe or tassels for that whimsical boho flair.
7. Natural Greenery Everywhere
Skip the faux garlands and go for eucalyptus, pampas grass, and dried florals. They’re low-maintenance and oh-so-chic.
8. Handwoven Tree Ornaments
Incorporate small handwoven ornaments for that artisanal touch. Think mini dreamcatchers, tiny woven stars, or rattan spheres.
9. Boho Throw Pillows
Holiday patterns? Sure, but opt for pillow covers with boho-inspired prints and tassels to tie it all together.
10. Neutral & Metallic Palette
Mix whites, beiges, and metallics for a laid-back yet glamorous boho aesthetic. Gold and copper ornaments? Yes, please.
11. Boho Table Settings
Mix and match plates, add a runner made of burlap or macramé, and throw in some dried floral arrangements for the ultimate boho tablescape.
12. Fairy Lights in Jars
Put some twinkling fairy lights into glass jars or lanterns for a simple yet magical touch.
13. Bohemian Gift Wrapping
Ditch the glossy paper for kraft paper, twine, and dried orange slices. Add some greenery or even a mini tassel to finish it off.
