Transform Your Space With These 41 Boho Home Finds
Hi there! I'm Sally Elshorafa — Home and Garden Editor here at BuzzFeed. A roll of peel-and-stick wallpaper with a vibrant print of woodland creatures, florals, and lush foliage that'll bring a bold hit of jungle-inspired charm to your walls. Designed by Justina Blakeney, it's bold, detailed, and bursting with life. Use it to add a lush focal point to a neutral room or go full maximalist and use it in a room that's already drenched in color. Promising review: "We put this up almost two years ago, and it's still holding up well. Had no adhesion issues. It's easy and quick to install and reposition. We put this up over gross old faking '70s paneling. I still love it after two years. The colors are great for being able to accent with pillows and blankets." —Ashfree Get it from Target for $34. A set of four macrame hanging planters made of 100% cotton cord if you're short on floor space but not on plants. These are especially great for plants that have trails, like a string of pearls or any variety of pothos. A set of two velvet throw pillow covers can add that rich, layered look your setup might be missing. The jewel tone colors will shift with the light in a way that makes everything around it look a little more intentional, and the soft velvet will play nicely with woven textures, tasseled blankets, or anything else you've got going on. A 100% natural wool Moroccan kiln pouf to bring texture and color to your space. Each one is made from vintage textiles, so no two are exactly alike. Use it as a floor cushion, footrest, or impromptu seat. A reviewer-beloved sparkling crystal suncatcher that'll turn any room into a dazzling display of rainbow prisms. Sit back, relax, and watch as rainbows scatter across your walls and ceiling. A 16-piece terracotta dinnerware set to bring earthy, sun-baked warmth to every meal. The amber reactive glaze gives each plate and bowl a slightly different finish, so your table will look perfectly imperfect in the best way. A large woven basket that'll bring order to your chaos and look good while doing it. The neutral two-tone design will bring a natural, earth-tone coziness that boho is known for, and the generous size will hold everything from extra throw blankets to rogue toy collections. Bonus: it's a great (and budget-friendly) alternative to a traditional planter. Promising review: "Super super cute with a high-end feel. I used it for my six-foot-tall fig fiddle tree in my living room. Fashionable with a boho design. I love them so much and want to get more for other things, maybe a shoe basket by the door or any storage type basket." —ShaylaGet it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 11 styles). A rattan daybed frame if you want your living room, guest room, or sunroom to feel like a Bali bungalow. With its hand-wrapped rattan, warm finish, and just breezy-enough lines, this piece will instantly channel relaxed, collected, world-traveled energy, even if your actual travel plans are just a trip to Target. Just add a twin mattress and some throw pillows, and you'll have a nap nook/reading spot/accidental Instagram backdrop. Promising review: "I bought this to use as a reading nook in the corner of my loft. It looks gorgeous with the velvet bedding and different textured pillows. Putting it together was easy." —TiredMommaGet it from World Market for $699.99. A wicker papasan swivel chair to curl up in when your bed feels too far away but the floor won't cut it. The cushy seat paired with a 360-degree swivel base makes it perfect for reading, scrolling, or dramatically spinning around to face your houseguests. Promising review: "Very comfortable, sturdy, stable, and easy to assemble. The color is absolutely awesome. Love the size and relaxation of it. Great addition to my boho room." —Rob DailyGet it from Amazon for $153.70+ (available in 16 colors). A set of geode bookends will add an instant hit of earthy-meets-glam energy to your shelf. Each one is cut from real stone, so the swirls and striations will be totally unique. They'll hold up your favorite reads *and* double as little pops of color. A rattan cabinet is a good option if you want something as practical as shoe storage to still have a little pizzazz. This is an especially good get if your entryway has no closed storage (aka a coat closet) and you don't want your shoes to be in a big pile next to the front door. Bonus: put a few decorative or sentimental objects and a nice catchall on the top to create a little decor moment. An ornate mirror will bring just the right amount of drama to your wall. The antique gold finish is soft, not shiny, so it'll play nice with your plants and rattan without veering too much into Versailles cosplay. And with its arched frame and leafy flourish, it'll double as a piece of art you can accidentally check your reflection in 15 times a day. Promising review: "This mirror is gorgeous! I have it hanging over a bedroom fireplace. It makes the room look so warm and elegant. But, this mirror would look beautiful in any room." —anneliseGet it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two sizes). A whitewashed wood and rope towel holder to add a little character to your bathroom *and* provide you with additional storage for your towels. Promising review: "This is the perfect item for hand towels in our newly remodeled bathroom. We did use some Command Strips on the back of the rack to attach it to the wall so it wouldn't move around when people were drying their hands." —Alex JacobsGet it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). A button-tufted storage ottoman will give your living room that boho-meets-glam upgrade you didn't know you needed. The rich colors pop without being loud, the tufted top brings just enough fancy, and the roomy hidden storage means your throws, remotes, or old magazines will finally have a place to hide. A tufted, boho chic duvet set to bring all the embroidered, textured goodness to your bedroom. With its geometric pattern and soft feel, it'll make you want to crawl under and never leave. Plus, it has thoughtful features like ties inside to keep everything snug and secure, so you won't wake up with your duvet crumpled at the bottom of the bed. A set of tortoiseshell wineglasses because why have a clear glass when you can have these fabulous ones instead? Handblown in Mexico from recycled glass, these amber-speckled stunners are basically jewelry for your home. Use them for wine, spritzes, or a delicious after-dinner cocktail. A colorful rug if you want your floor to be the most interesting thing in your room. The floral medallion print looks like it belongs in a museum gift shop (in a very good way), and the mix of orange, garnet, and blue gives it that vintage look. It's power-loomed and stain-resistant, so it'll survive both regular traffic and the occasional spill of wine. Promising review: "This carpet has totally transformed my living space. My last carpet was one color and smaller. This carpet has so many beautiful colors, and it reaches much further, making my space appear larger and happier! Decorating is one of my favorite things to do. I have a very eclectic/boho style, and lighting is huge for me. In the evening, when the sun goes down, I use all-natural warm lighting, and this carpet does not disappoint. It still stands out and adds to my peaceful downtime at the end of the day. I got the carpet at a really good deal, which is a huge bonus. It's also very dog friendly!" —Michelle Get it from Wayfair for $25.99+ (available in five colors and 21 sizes). A two-piece nesting table set that'll make your living room feel way more put-together. The wood ring pattern adds just the right amount of visual interest without fighting for attention, and the nesting situation means you'll have plenty of surface area when needed, or when you need a second table just for snacks (hard same). Promising review: "This table gets more compliments than JLO on the red carpet. It is so cute and perfect for a boho living room." —sammiGet it from Amazon for $152.74+ (available in six styles). A set of three ceramic vases can turn any random surface into an opportunity for a boho vignette. Pair them with pampas grass, dried florals, or whatever stems you picked up from your next Trader Joe's run. They'll look just as good clustered on a shelf or spaced out across your room. Promising review: "These are gorgeous. Thick/excellent quality; they go great with everything. Awesome buy for the price, Definitely worth it." —Jessica Madison "This was the perfect addition to our boho-themed bedroom!" —susan l. coughlinGet it from Amazon for $14.33 (available in beige or a colorful set). And a bundle of pampas grass so you have something beautiful to stick in your vases. These are known for their fluffy plumes and natural, earthy vibe. And since they're dried, you can just plop them in a vase and not worry about them wilting like fresh flowers do. Promising review: "Beautiful! Becomes full after you shake it out. Natural and makes a lovely decor. None were broken. Packed very well." —estelle macon Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in eight styles). A faux zebra hide rug that'll elevate any room's elegance level to one million. Layer this over an existing rug (that has a contrast) or put it directly on hardwood, either way it's going to look absolutely stunning. A ceramic palo santo holder can elevate your shelf, side table, or windowsill in the prettiest, smokiest way. Pop in a stick, light it up, and let the gentle scent and soft curl of smoke set the tone for whatever kind of day (or night) you're having. A petite chair in mustard yellow if you want to add a pop of color to your space. It's on the smaller side, so it's a good fit if you're low on square footage but need a cute and comfortable place to sit back and relax. Promising review: "The chair does what it does. It's comforting. You're not sinking in the chair, nor is it too hard. It feels nice and cushioned, with no sharp edges or corners. It's wide and long enough for all sizes and does its job. I currently use it for reading and studying." —NickGet it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in seven colors). A beautiful reversible blanket made from 100% cotton for adding the perfect amount of vibrancy to your sleeping arrangements. There are so many styles to choose from, so you're bound to find one that matches the color scheme and aesthetic of your bedroom. Promising review: "I'm so in love with this blanket! The fabric feels soft and breathable, yet it still keeps me warm and cozy. The boho floral and bird design is even more beautiful in person—it really adds charm to my room. I've used it on my bed, couch, and even outdoors, and it's held up great. It's lightweight but not flimsy, and the size is perfect for wrapping up or sharing. Plus, it's easy to wash and comes out looking like new. Highly recommend if you want something stylish, comfy, and eco-friendly!" —RejinaGet it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four sizes and 14 patterns/colors).

It'll create a focal point that still plays well with neutral bedding and textured layers. A hand-tufted wool rug so your floors won't feel like an afterthought. The mix of oversized loops and flat weaves gives it that rich, textured look that reads expensive, and the gray-and-ivory palette will pair well with every throw pillow you *throw* at it. It'll shed a little bit (as all real wool rugs do), but it's worth it for the look it'll bring to your room. Promising review: "I absolutely love this rug! I've been redecorating our primary bedroom with a natural/boho style, and the rug is perfect. The quality is great, and it looks fantastic. Highly recommend." —MercedesGet it from Wayfair for $39.99+ (available in six colors and 31 sizes). A woven pendant light to warm up your space from above.

A vintage-inspired bed if you want the look of a 100-year-old antique wrought-iron bed but not the squeakiness of one. Promising review: "We are beyond satisfied with this bed frame! We got a king in the color black. It was under $200 with the shipping and this frame is solid as can be. It did take my husband way longer than he anticipated to put it together but it was so worth it! We previously had a medium to high end frame that we paid $600 for on sale that broke immediately. Will never spend that much again, highly recommend. Best part about this frame is there is space left at the foot of the bed to tuck your comforter in!!!" —KristinGet it from Amazon for $49.49+ (clip the coupon to save 20%; available in five metal finishes and Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King and California King sizes). A macrame jewelry organizer to keep your earrings and necklaces untangled and on display. With earthy hues like sage and terracotta, it's a refreshingly colorful twist on the usual boho beige.

Afew Store and KEEN's ‘Past Forward' UNEEK WK Sneaker is Designed For Mindful Walking
Summary: Afew Storehas joined forces withKEENto unveil a thoughtfully designed, limited-edition sneaker – the 'Past Forward' UNEEK WK – in a collaboration that bridges Eastern meditation practice with contemporary tech innovation, encouraging wearers to embrace a slower, more intentional rhythm while walking. Founded over 20 years ago in Oregon, KEEN has consistently prioritized footwear that 'does more,' crafting pieces around purpose-driven design and durability. In today's fast-paced world, carving out time for mindful slowness is increasingly rare. Yet as utilitarian function and fashion continue to intersect, KEEN is teaming up with the German-based Afew Store to co-design a sneaker that celebrates movement as mindfulness, hoping to encourage a conscious and unhurried mindset. The silhouette is based on KEEN's original two-cord design and features technology that delivers a seamless curve from toe to heel, promoting forward motion. Aesthetically, the design is finished with a calming, minimalist color palette, rugged rubberized mudguard, and thoughtful details like a custom tassel and ribbed cord – all subtle nods to walking meditation practices. With this sneaker, the two brands invite the wearer 'to rediscover walking as a conscious ritual, to move with presence and to value the journey itself.' The 'Past Forward' UNEEK WK launches August 2 exclusively via KEEN and Afew Store.
