How to Style a Boho Living Room: 10 Ideas with Macrame & Natural Decor
There is something deeply calming about a bohemian living room. The layers of natural texture, the soft glow of warm lighting, the gentle movement of a macrame wall hanging — it all creates a space that feels lived-in, intentional, and entirely your own.
Whether you are starting from scratch or adding a few finishing touches, these ten ideas will help you bring boho warmth into your living room using natural materials and textured decor.

1. Start with a Statement Wall Hanging
A large macrame wall hanging is the fastest way to transform a blank wall into a focal point. Choose a piece with fringe, tassels, or woven geometric patterns and hang it above a sofa or fireplace. Natural cotton cord in ivory or cream works beautifully against dark, forest green, or terracotta walls. Shop our large macrame wall hanging or browse all boho wall art.
2. Layer Your Textiles
Boho style is built on texture. Layer a jute rug over wooden floors, drape a chunky knit throw over your sofa, and add a few embroidered or woven cushion covers. The more natural the materials — cotton, linen, jute, wool — the more authentic the result. Start with a knit tassel throw and an embroidered mandala pillow cover.
3. Hang a Dreamcatcher as Art
Dreamcatchers are not just for bedrooms. A large crochet lace dreamcatcher with feathers and wooden beads makes a striking piece of wall art in a living room. It adds movement, softness, and a sense of story to any space. Our Large Boho Dreamcatcher combines crochet lace, feathers and suede tassels — or browse all dreamcatchers.
4. Bring in Plants — Lots of Them
No boho living room is complete without greenery. Use macrame plant hangers to display trailing plants like pothos or string of pearls at different heights. This creates visual depth and connects the room to the natural world. Not sure which hanger to choose? Read our macrame plant hanger guide or browse the plant hanger collection.
5. Choose Warm, Earthy Colours
The boho palette is grounded in nature — warm ivory, terracotta, sage green, deep brown, and sandy beige. Paint one wall in a deep earth tone or introduce colour through cushions, rugs, and ceramics. Avoid stark whites and cool greys.
6. Mix Wood, Rattan & Wicker
Natural materials should extend to your furniture and accessories. A rattan armchair, a wicker basket for blankets, a driftwood shelf — these elements reinforce the organic, relaxed feel of a boho interior. Our seagrass belly basket comes in seven sizes, from a small plant pot cover to a large hamper — see all woven baskets.
7. Use Dried Flowers & Pampas Grass
Fresh flowers are beautiful but dried botanicals last for years and add a wild, romantic quality to a boho space. Arrange pampas grass, dried lavender, or eucalyptus in a simple ceramic vase and place on a side table or windowsill. Try our pampas grass bouquet or a ready-styled dried flower bouquet with vase.
8. Layer Your Lighting
Harsh overhead lighting kills the boho atmosphere. Instead, layer warm light sources — string lights draped along a wall, a rattan pendant lamp, candles in terracotta holders. The goal is a golden, diffused glow that makes the room feel like sunset.
9. Display Meaningful Objects
Boho interiors tell a story. Display objects that mean something to you — travel finds, handmade pottery, vintage books, crystals, or family heirlooms. Arranged on a wooden shelf or tray, these collections become a personal gallery. For crystals and spiritual pieces, see our Crystals & Spiritual Decor collection.
10. Add a Macrame Table Linen or Curtain
Do not stop at walls. A lace macrame curtain softens a window and filters light beautifully. A macrame or tasselled table runner adds texture to a coffee table or dining surface without overwhelming the space. Our best-selling crochet lace curtain with tassels and the boho paisley table runner are a good place to start.
