When I first started decorating for the holidays in our current home, I felt torn between tradition and the relaxed, earthy style I love year-round. You’ve probably been there too, trying to figure out how to bring in festive cheer without filling every corner with glitter and bright red. If you’re drawn to natural textures, gentle lights, and a more handmade look, a boho Christmas vibe might be right up your alley.
In our house, the mix of woven textures, dried florals, and cozy layers sets such a warm tone every December. It’s the kind of look that adapts easily, which lets you make boho Christmas decor work beautifully in an apartment or a full house.
Here are 30+ bohemian Christmas decor ideas that will help you create a holiday look that’s warm, laid-back, and totally you.
Start with a flocked tree as your boho holiday base
A pre-flocked tree gives you that snowy backdrop that sets the tone beautifully. It’s like a blank canvas for all those natural textures and muted tones boho style is known for. This is the calm foundation your boho Christmas tree needs.
You can find beautiful flocked Christmas trees on Amazon in every size and shape.
You can mix in earthy elements like wooden beads, woven ornaments, or even dried oranges. The pale base really helps everything pop without demanding attention.
Embrace laid-back vibes with a boho setup
A boho-inspired table always brings a little surprise (in the best way). Start with a macrame table runner and layer in gold or copper flatware for a warm glow.
I love using amber glassware here because it adds a vintage touch. Dried flowers or grasses in small bud vases keep the look casual but thoughtful.
Hang mini macrame ornaments on your tree
Macrame pieces bring cozy, handmade charm. You can find mini versions shaped like stars, trees, or snowflakes. Check out mini macrame Christmas ornaments on Amazon for a simple way to add texture and warmth.
And because they’re soft, they’re a great option if you have curious little hands or paws nearby. It’s an easy way to introduce bohemian Christmas decor to your tree without overthinking it.
Layer your mantel with cozy textures and candlelight
Mantels are great for layering, especially when you’re going for a relaxed look, like woven stockings , garlands, and neutral-toned candles in different heights.
You can find beautiful boho Christmas stockings on Amazon to complete the look. Add in a few wooden beads or star shapes for extra texture.

Mixing materials adds depth, as long as you keep the colors gentle.
Light up your space with amber jars and tiny string lights
Amber glass jars are one of my go-tos this time of year. They glow softly when lit from the inside and look beautiful scattered on shelves or windowsills.
Tuck in a battery tea light or wrap fairy lights inside. They look magical in the evening and bring a cozy glow to the room.
You can usually find amber jars at thrift stores or repurpose ones you already have from candles or pantry goods.
Use bare branches as chic table centerpieces
This one’s so easy and always looks stylish. Find a few thin branches (I grab mine from the backyard), then pop them into a tall ceramic vase or a mason jar.
Arrange mini ornaments, paper stars, or white lights. The height makes it dramatic, and the natural texture keeps it grounded. It also works as a buffet or console accent if you’re not setting a full dining table.
Turn your bedroom into a cozy boho retreat
Your bedroom deserves a little festive cheer too. I like to layer chunky throws , bring in a few earthy-toned pillows, and string up fairy lights along the headboard.
You can find gorgeous chunky knit throw blankets on Amazon that make any space instantly cozier.
Swap out one or two pillow covers for something seasonal but subtle, like stars or neutral plaid. If you have a bench at the foot of your bed, stack a few wrapped boxes or a basket with pinecones.
It doesn’t have to be complicated to introduce a bit of holiday charm.

Make your own boho-style Christmas village
Skip the glittery ceramic houses and go for something a little more grounded. Use wood blocks in different sizes to build your village base. Then paint them in muted tones, like clay, cream, pale olive. Include details with a white paint pen or even a gold marker.
If you have little ones, let them help with painting or arranging. I used burlap scraps as snowy roofs. My daughter even insisted in adding mini bottle-brush trees.
Switch up your ornaments with wood beads and tassels
Wood beads bring in that lovely natural Christmas vibe (which is one of 2025’s biggest Christmas tree trends). And tassels add a gentle touch without feeling too fancy. Together, they create a relaxed, earthy look.
Try draping a strand around your tree or layering them between more traditional ornaments. This combo helps tie your boho Christmas tree look together.
Hang a wreath made of dried grasses and soft neutrals
Colors like creams, golds, and pale greenery work beautifully in a wreath, while dried wheat, bunny tails, or pampas make gorgeous bases. You can find dried pampas grass wreaths on Amazon that capture this look perfectly.
👉 My top tip: Hang your Christmas wreath off-center on a mirror or interior door using velvet ribbon. That little twist makes it look more styled, and the velvet introduces just a hint of holiday luxury.
Prop a boho-inspired Christmas sign near your entry
A natural wood sign with minimalist lettering sets a calm, cozy tone from the start. Go for phrases like “Merry + Bright” or just a simple “Joy.”
Look for signs with wood-burned letters, or paint that’s not too crisp. Imperfections give it charm.
Try a macrame Christmas tree wall hanging
If you’re short on space or just want a fun accent wall, a macrame wall tree is a great choice. It brings relaxed, handmade energy to your holiday decor in a simple way. You can find pre-made versions or try a DIY project if you’re feeling crafty.
👉 My favorite trick: Hang your macrame tree near gentle lighting like fairy lights or amber jars. The glow highlights the knots and patterns in the prettiest way, especially at night.
Wrap your tree in rustic twine instead of tinsel
Tinsel can feel a little loud, but twine brings raw, natural charm. You can wind it around the tree like garland, or tie small bows throughout the branches.
Jute and linen twines work especially well for a neutral Christmas look. They introduce texture and a handmade touch without pulling too much attention.
Style your space with faux gift boxes wrapped in neutral tones
Empty gift boxes are such a handy decor trick. Wrap them in kraft paper or muslin and tie with jute or twine.
Stack them under a mini decor tree, on a bench, or in an unused fireplace.
👉 My top tip: Stick with just two or three types of wrapping to keep the look cohesive. Vary the box sizes to maintain interest without making it look cluttered.
Build a ladder-style tree with wrapped presents and lights
If you love unconventional trees, this one’s might be of interest to you. Use a basic wooden ladder and lean it safely against the wall. Wrap string lights around the rungs and stack wrapped boxes at the base.
Use craft paper, or linen fabric for the wrapping – neutrals or warm browns work best. You can hang a few lightweight ornaments from the ladder steps, too.
Add a relaxed boho vibe with soft neutrals and woven textures
Macrame ornaments, rattan stars, and cozy layers help your home exude a laid-back but festive mood. This look works beautifully with soft whites, beiges, and touches of natural greenery.
I’ve used woven snowflakes and paper stars on our tree for years now, and they always bring a smile. It’s that perfect mix of easygoing and thoughtful. Shop boho Christmas decorations on Amazon for an easy start.
Cozy, calm, and totally festive
Rather than ditching tradition, think of the boho Christmas decor vibe as a way to make it yours. You can still celebrate the season while leaning into texture, natural elements, and a relaxed feel.
Start with just one or two ideas from this list. Even something simple like swapping out tinsel or including a few macrame touches can shift the tone in a lovely way.
