Boho decorating, short for “bohemian,” is a free-spirited and eclectic style that embraces a mix of colours, textures, patterns, and cultural influences. It’s a design aesthetic that prioritizes individuality, comfort, and a relaxed, unconventional vibe. You can achieve this look by incorporating some simple and affordable Boho accents. Here are some great budget-friendly ideas to get you started.
20 Affordable Boho Accents that will Inspire You
Whether you are thrifting or shopping in high-end stores, wicker is usually always in stock. Add a little spray paint, antique wax or leave it just as it is for a natural look. Fill it with throws, pillows or flowers to amp up the look.
Colourful tablecloths are a fantastic and often overlooked way to infuse a vibrant Boho spirit into your home decor. They offer a wonderful opportunity to introduce pattern, texture, and a pop of personality, especially in dining areas, coffee tables, or even as unexpected textile accents elsewhere. They are also a great way to add a lot of colour without changing out the furniture. A new tablecloth can change the look of the entire room. Brightly coloured tablecloths will give you a boho look for an affordable price.
This look is perfect for thrifting. Mixing different colours and textures means that nothing has to match or be perfect. Mismatched plates, glasses and natural linens give a unique boho look. You can even add some dollar store accents, such as vases with stones, placemats and napkins.

Pillows are a great way to add a huge impact without changing the furniture. Using pillow inserts and having a variety of pillow covers on hand makes changing the look easy. Pillow covers can be stored and changed with the season.

They can be hard to find in thrift stores, but are available in most home accent stores.
Look for woven wall hangings made from seagrass, water hyacinth, or palm leaves. These add beautiful texture and a touch of natural warmth. They come in various shapes and sizes, from small accents to larger statement pieces. Add colourful shallow baskets to the wall for instant style. For easy installation, use command hooks. This can transform any room in under an hours.

Tassels are quintessential to boho design! They bring such a playful, tactile, and visually interesting element to decor. Think of them as the little sprinkles of joy that add that extra layer of texture and personality. Why not try to make your own with leftover yarn or rope or you can pick them off of the shelf at your favourite home decor shop. Hang them on furniture pulls, from lighting, or attach them to pillows or blankets.
Nothing says boho more than rope or cloth baskets. Add them to any room and fill them with blankets, toys, pet supplies or even toilet paper. Market style baskets offer a unique look with easy carry handles. Look for various sizes and textures to create visual interest.

Grapevine wreaths never go out of style. Repurpose an old one with some dried flowers and macramé cording. Hang it on a door or lean it against the wall on a cabinet or server. Incorporate small wooden elements like picture frames, bowls, or coasters. Driftwood pieces or branches can also be used as unique decorative touches
Fringe is a must-have for Boho decorating. You don’t have to go out and buy new fringed items, you can easily add fringe to some objects that you already own. Fringe can be purchased at most craft and fabric stores by the yard (meter) in multiple colours. A needle and thread or a glue gun is all you need.

This is the most expensive option on our list. Colourful accent furniture pieces can act like little sparks of joy throughout your space, adding personality, visual interest, and that signature bohemian flair. An alternative option is to add a slip cover to older furniture pieces. Look for slipcovers in natural fabrics like cotton or linen, or with ikat, paisley, or floral prints.
