Go Boho Chic With These DIY Home Decor Projects

by Lori Madden 06/26/2022

Boho Chic began as a fashion movement influenced by the free-flowing lifestyle of the 1960s, but it has transformed from a clothing style into a home decor theme. If you have created a natural-inspired space that includes funky pops of color and interesting accents, then you may be interested in creating some DIY home decor projects that coordinate with the look of your home.

These are some of the best Boho Chic DIY home decor projects to try:

Birch Wood Candleholder

With its white and earthy bark, birch wood is a popular design element in the Boho Chic movement. You can create your own birch wood decor pieces by slicing the wood into a small, thin piece. Then use a drill to create holes that would fit several tea light candles. When you are done, you can put your new birch wood candleholder on an end table or as a centerpiece in the dining room and light the candles to create a romantic ambiance.

Decoupage Accent Tray

Accent trays are both beautiful and functional, as they give you extra space to store your daily necessities or more room to add decor to your room. You can create a Boho Chic accent tray by using scraps of patterned paper and decoupaging them onto an old wooden or metal tray. Your newly customized work of art is sure to become the next conversation piece in your room.

Scrap Fabric Garland

A Boho Chic garland can be strung on your mantle or along a wall in order to create a back drop, and it's easy to make this accent decor yourself. To make scrap fabric garland, you will need to collect extra strips of fabric in various colors and patterns. Knot the fabric along a rope so that it hangs down. Once you have achieved the look that you want, you can hang it in your Bohemian-influenced home.

Pom Pom Accent Chair

It's never been easier to design your own comfortable yet funky accent chair. Simply paint an old wooden chair to match the color scheme of the room. Then, adhere large, lush pom pom balls onto the seat of the chair. The end result is a groovy chair that fits into any Boho Chic home.

DIY Scalloped Throw Pillow

Scalloped designs are big in any Boho Chic interior design scheme, but you don't have to spend a fortune on a pre-made scalloped throw pillow. You can easily create one yourself by gluing scalloped-shaped pieces of felt onto an existing pillow. You will love your fish-scale style creation and it will stand out in your room.

Branch Mobile Wall Art

Another way to incorporate nature into the design of your room is to build your own branch mobile wall art. If you find a long and sturdy branch in your yard, you can use twine to hang other natural elements from it in order to create a mobile. Feathers, seashells, beads and more can be used to make a beautiful branch mobile.

If you are the type of person who likes to blend outdoor elements with modern interior decor, then Boho Chic is the style for you. These DIY projects are easy to create and ideal for anyone of any skill level, and they are sure to bring a touch of wonder and whimsy into your home.

Lori Madden

As a Florida native growing up in Sarasota, I have seen my hometown grow from a sleepy coastal town to a highly sought-after destination along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. After working in Chicago for 5 years, I returned to Sarasota and saw it through a new lens and really began to appreciate what makes Sarasota so desirable, including temperatures that allow for year round outdoor activities including tennis (a personal favorite), golf, boating, kayaking, fishing, paddle boarding, or just relaxing and/or shelling on our pristine sandy shores, including Dr. Beach’s #1 beach in the United States for 2017, Siesta Key! Sarasota’s cultural amenities are many and diverse, appealing to a wide range of arts lovers. Downtown Sarasota has become a destination in itself, drawing many new developments for those who want to be within walking distance of Main Street's offerings and the picturesque bayfront and marina. Foodies will find an eclectic mix of locally owned and operated restaurants offering something for everyone, and there are now Farmers Markets every day of the week in various locations throughout Sarasota, but the Saturday morning Farmers Market in downtown Sarasota draws the biggest crowds. Since 1988, my passion has been selling real estate, representing both buyers and sellers. I have been recognized by my clients and customers for an uncompromising work ethic and dedication to helping them achieve their real estate goals. Relying on my experience as a real estate paralegal and being highly organized, I am able to help make the transition between contract and closing a smooth one for my clients. With an eye for interior and landscape design, I've been known to pitch in and help Sellers minimize and/or reorganize their belongings in order to stage their home to maximize its sale potential. I specialize in out of state buyers looking for their piece of paradise along the Gulf Coast and make it a priority to keep them up to date on our quickly changing local real estate market. I welcome the opportunity to share with you all Sarasota and her surrounding islands have to offer!
