Boho relief art. Whether raised from a canvas or created directly onto the wall, 3D relief art goes hand-in-hand with the textural bohemian aesthetic.
Spread boho style accessories evenly. If you don’t wish to go too deep with layering then space key pieces at regular intervals around the room. Handmade art over the headboard, a wicker pendant light, a boho bedroom chair, and a rustic planter are enough to instil a subtle essence without going overboard.
Create one focal piece. An archway acts as the perfect jumping-off point for boho wall decor. Paint the architectural feature in a warm beige colourway to contrast with a pale grey or white decor scheme, and hang a handwoven element at its centre. The modern tufted bed surprisingly looks right at home in this room.
If a new architectural feature isn’t in the budget, then consider a surface-mounted arch.

As light as a feather. Boho decor schemes work well under all sorts of colour schemes, from dark and dramatic to colourful and joyous.
