The holiday season brings laughter, joy, and gift giving but the most important thing is an excuse for great holiday decor! Every year you have a chance to do something special with your Christmas decorating and why not make this the year when you give a boho feel to your house and home? To help you we have created this guide with some of the best boho Christmas decor ideas we could find online!
So without further ado, let’s get the boho vibe going!
What is Boho Decor?
The boho style or bohemian style as it is also known, is one based in natural elements and neutral colors. It’s perfect for a free-spirited person who is looking to take their living room or dining room out of the normal reds, whites, and greens of the Christmas season.
So what home decor creates a Boho Christmas Look?
Wooden beads are a staple while faux fur and natural materials such as pampas grass provide different textures to ensure that your room doesn’t look stale. The boho Christmas tree is typically a statement piece with vintage ornaments, twinkly lights, and a color scheme that elicits earth tones. But enough of this incessant rambling, let’s get to some amazing boho Christmas decorations!
Finding The Perfect Boho Christmas Tree
Finding the perfect Bohemian Christmas tree is where the decor truly starts and whether you decide to go with a real tree or an artificial one, we are here to help.
Let’s start with finding a perfect artificial tree that embraces the boho style.
The Ultimate Flocked Tree for the Boho Vibe
This Christmas tree is one of our favorites when it comes to embracing the bohemian Christmas style. Standing at 7.5 feet tall, and pre-lit with 650 warm lights, this tree is the perfect canvas to decorate with all of the baubles and neutral Christmas decor that you can imagine. This tree is a great addition to any home and would pair great with wood beads or different earthy elements to add some darker color.
The Rose Gold Christmas Tree
Going for something a bit anti-traditional this year? Then a rose gold Christmas tree may be the perfect addition to your boho decor plans. This 6.5-foot pre-lit tree is perfect for small spaces since it measures just over 3 feet at its base and is the perfect way to stand out this Christmas. Pairing this with vintage items and handmade ornaments could create a tree that will have people unable to look away!
The Pencil Tree
Some small spaces just aren’t made to handle a full-width tree but still need to add height to bring the eyes up. That is why we love pencil trees! With a width of under 32 inches and standing at 7.5 feet tall, this lovely white tree is a great idea for anyone who wants to embrace the Christmas spirit but doesn’t have quite as much room as they would like. We can just imagine using this as the backdrop for darker boho ornaments, adding lots of beige, and of course some pom pom garland.
The Traditional Tree
Sometimes even those going for a boho style Christmas want a traditional tree so as not to call attention away from the boho Christmas ornaments that they plan to decorate with. For these people, we recommend this full Dunhill fir from National Tree Company. So far we have really liked the trees we have seen from this company and this fir is the same. Pre-lit with 650 white lights this tree is much larger than the others we have highlighted, with variations from 6.5 to 9 feet tall, and a width of 4.5 to 5.5 feet wide. This is a perfect tree for macrame ornaments and natural textures to complete your bohemian look.
Finding A Boho Style Tree Skirt
Finding a tree skirt to highlight your tree is like adding the perfect pair of shoes to complete an outfit. There are a lot of different styles of tree skirts to highlight your tree at Christmas time but we are going to highlight a few that we think will add a perfect touch to your boho tree.
Try A Crocheted Skirt For Added Texture
The bulkiness of crochet is a perfect touch of texture to add to a bohemian Christmas tree. Adding a lot of beige to your tree can be done with ornaments, garland, or with a tree skirt like this one that will allow for a more colorful pop on the tree.
Burlap With A Twist
Burlap adds a different look to boho decor and is a relatively low cost option as well. There are many different burlap options but we like the depth that this ruffled skirt brings to the tree and helps keep it from straying too far into the farmhouse look. This fits best with a non-traditional tree but can be a good addition to any decor that is including natural elements.
Boho Skirt With Pom Poms
You can never go wrong with a white tree skirt and if there are pom poms included then we are in love! This skirt has a nice texture to give added movement to the base of your tree and fun pom poms that complete the boho tie in. In both 48-inch and 60-inch variations, this is perfect for any tree and would be a great way to brighten up a traditional spruce or fir.
Rattan Christmas Tree Collar
Looking for something different to make your boho Christmas tree stand out? Then a tree collar may be a perfect addition! Christmas tree collars are perfect for trees with smaller diameters and for those looking to create a cleaner, more simplistic look. We like this rattan design from Blissun and the space-saving storage feature is the gift that keeps on giving!
Boho Christmas Ornaments
Boho Christmas ornaments typically embody a relaxed, eclectic, and free-spirited vibe, drawing inspiration from bohemian style. Here are some characteristics that often define boho Christmas ornaments:
Natural Materials: Boho ornaments often incorporate natural materials like wood, rattan, jute, feathers, and dried flowers. These materials add warmth and texture to the decorations.
Handcrafted Elements: Many boho ornaments are handmade or appear handmade, featuring intricate details, embroidery, beading, or macramé. These artisanal touches contribute to the unique and personalized feel of boho décor.
Rich Colors and Patterns: Boho style embraces vibrant colors and bold patterns. You’ll often find ornaments in rich jewel tones like deep blues, emerald greens, and burnt oranges, as well as intricate patterns such as paisley, ikat, or geometric designs.
Mixed Textures: Mixing textures is a hallmark of boho design. Combining smooth surfaces with rough textures, such as pairing a smooth glass bauble with a knitted or embroidered ornament, adds visual interest and depth to the decorations.
Global Influence: Boho style draws inspiration from cultures around the world, so boho Christmas ornaments may feature motifs or designs inspired by various cultural traditions, such as Moroccan tiles, Indian mandalas, or Native American patterns.
Vintage and Found Objects: Bohemian décor often incorporates vintage or found objects, giving ornaments a nostalgic or eclectic feel. These could include antique trinkets, repurposed materials, or flea market finds that add character and charm to the decorations.
Eclectic Mix: Rather than sticking to a specific theme or color scheme, boho Christmas decorations often feature an eclectic mix of ornaments, combining different shapes, sizes, and styles for a more relaxed and organic look.
Most importantly though, boho Christmas ornaments are all about embracing creativity, individuality, and a laid-back aesthetic, allowing you to mix and match pieces that reflect your personality and style.
Here are a few of our favorites:
A Linen Mixture
This set adds both depth and structure to your tree while providing natural elements and sticking with a neutral color scheme. The value of the 6-piece set is an added bonus to a set that can be added to any color tree.
Scandy Boho Gnomes
Boho Christmas decor ideas come in many different variations, one of which is Scandinavian boho. This is a much more simplistic and neutral take on the bohemian decor style, and these cute gnome ornaments fit it perfectly!
Wooden Boho Ornaments
Finding wooden elements to add to your boho Christmas tree can be a tough task but this set is an easy addition to add both color and texture to your tree.
Hang Something Different
Boho decor is all about doing things differently and creating unique designs that will stand out. That’s why we think these vintage cone shaped cow bells are the perfect addition to be unique without things getting too out of control.
Wooden Bead Ornaments
Wooden beads are a staple when it comes to creating a perfect bohemian Christmas tree, but these have an added twist of a positive word to add to your tree.
Macrame Always Is Fun
When it comes to boho Christmas decor ideas, macrame should essentially be required in our minds. From tassels to woven designs, macrame just seems to fit and we can’t stop buying it!
Add Some Sparkle
Sometimes a neutral color scheme can go a bit too far and end up looking bland, but those that are against adding color to their boho designs are stuck at an impass. This is where gold comes in and these ornaments have a mix of structure and playfulness that should help anyone trying to get out of their element.
Add Some Natural Elements
Adding some natural design elements to your boho tree can create a sense of warmth during the cold weather season. This set is a perfect addition, just add some ornament hooks and hang them as you please!
Orange Slices, Pine Cones, and Cinnamon Sticks
It may seem odd to add orange slices and cinnamon sticks to your tree but hear us out for a minute. This is actually a great way to add some holiday spirit to your tree while keeping it as natural as possible. The included pine cones are also a fun way to add natural elements.
More Macrame Please
Did we mention that we love macrame Christmas decor?! Well we have one more set of ornaments to highlight that will add some fun to your tree. These will definitely add some eclectic elements while complementing your other boho Christmas decor ideas.
Boho Christmas Garland Ideas
Garland is a great accessory, not only for your boho Christmas tree but also provides an easy way to create a similar look for your tables, kitchen island, and above kitchen cabinets. While bohemian style garland contains many of the same elements as christmas ornaments, the real trick is to find something subtle that will add dimension to your decorating.
Here are a few of our suggestions:
What's More Boho Than Tassels?
Maybe we’ve gone a bit too far in offering macrame ideas but we can’t help ourselves with the woven tassels on this garland. These are perfect for a more natural looking tree and will help to add some softness to the design.
Wooden Beads Make Perfect Garland
Wood beads seem to lend themselves well to garland and are a welcome addition to any boho tree. These are also a good accessory piece to place around candles and centerpieces on dining room tables.
Get Funky With Color
Garland is a great way to add color to your tree and pom poms are a creative way to add some flair. This adds both while still keeping colors within a more neutral scheme.
Do Something Personal
One of the fun parts about decorating is putting your own personal touch on it. This garland helps with that because it not only is cute, but adds wooden clothes pins to the mix so that you can hang precious photos, Christmas cards, or even vintage Christmas advertisements.
Add It All At Once
Wood beads? Check. Tassels? Check. Pop of Color? Check. This garland has it all, and while it may take some creativity to figure out what type of tree to put it on, the elements make it a must-add. We like it more for hanging above kitchen cabinets than anything, but would love to see some of your ideas.
Boho Tree Toppers
The final touch to your boho Christmas tree is the tree topper of course! One of the best ways to put an exclamation point on your tree is to include a topper that ties in the design. Depending on what style you decided was perfect for your boho tree, there are plenty of tree topper options.
Here are a few of the ones we love to add to our trees:
Beaded Gold
This topper is a great way to finish off a tree that has included gold elements along with some wood bead garland. It’s simple but it’s a great accent piece.
Vintage Tree Topper
Kurt Adler is a well-known name in the Christmas decor industry and this vintage tree topper shows why. This tree topper screams bohemian Christmas decor and would be beautiful on top of something more traditional.
Finish With More Natural Elements
Rattan is an amazing way to bring a more natural feel to your tree, especially artificial ones. That’s why we like this tree topper and why we recommend it to anyone that wants to get a bit closer to nature.
Nature, But Wilder
If the last rattan tree topper was a bit tame for your taste then take a look at another Kurt Adler selection. This Birch and holly berry topper would be a great addition for any tree that wanted to lean into natural elements and maybe even included some bird ornaments.
Boho and Boujee
We swear that this isn’t an advertisement for Kurt Adler decor, but how could we resist this vintage style tree topper with pearls and platinum glass? This is definitely a statement when it sits on top of your tree and will have everyone looking up in admiration.
Other Creative Boho Christmas Decor Ideas
While the Chrismtas tree is the focal point of the boho decor, there is also the rest of the house that needs boho decor. Below we have included a few things that we think would help complete the motif.
Boho Christmas Stockings
Christmas stockings are a tremendous way to add something different to your decor. These boho stockings bring some movement to the room and the various textures keep the eyes staring.
Boho Bottle Brush Trees
Bottle brush trees can help to add some depth to centerpieces and side tables around the holiday season. This set provides plenty of options to decorate as you please.
Boho Fairy Lights
There’s nothing like fairy lights to help create a magical environment during a season where daylight comes at a premium. These also come with some greenery and string lights that allow for customization.
Decorative Birch Logs
If you own a fireplace then this is a must have accessory to further create a boho feel inside your house, but even without one there are many different ways to incorporate birch logs. Try placing them under the tree to give a more rustic look or in a basket near the entry way to the home to give an inviting natural feel.
Create The Right Lighting
Fairy lights can be the right lighting element for some designs but others may want something a bit less synthetic. For those we recommend these LED candles that come in various heights and allow for a warmer feel.
Boho Christmas Throw Pillows
Throw pillows shouldn’t be forgotten when designing a room. Purchasing covers are the best way to create new designs and update decor without having a closet full of unused pillows. Instead just take off the old covers and toss on the new whenever you want a change of pace!
Table Top Pallet Christmas Tree
Simple wooden designs can make for solid additions to tabletops, entryways, and corners where you just can’t find the right fitting decor. These unfinished tree cutouts allow for customization and are a nice starting point to a landscape.
