Boho posters - create a relaxed and bohemian vibe in your home

Boho style has become one of the most popular interior design styles in recent years, and it's not hard to see why. With its warm colors, natural materials, and relaxed feel, boho decor creates a home that feels both cozy and inspiring. An easy way to introduce this style into your home is by choosing the right art for the walls - and boho posters are perfect for this.

What characterizes boho wall art?

Boho posters have a few distinct characteristics that make them so sought after. They tend to feature warm, earthy colors like terracotta, mustard yellow, rust brown, and deep shades of green. The motifs are often inspired by nature, with botanical elements, sun motifs, moons, and ethnic patterns.

Many boho posters also have a certain vintage or handmade feel. This can be seen through watercolor effects, texture in the printing technique, or artistic brushstrokes that give an organic and authentic feel.

How to choose the right boho posters for your home

When choosing boho posters, it's important to think about the overall look of the room. Start by looking at the colors you already have in your room. The boho style is all about creating harmony between different shades, so choose posters that complement your existing colors rather than competing with them.

The size of your posters also plays an important role. For a true boho feel, you can mix different sizes and create a poster wall. This gives the relaxed, almost random feel that is so typical of the boho style.

Also consider the motif. Botanical prints with pampas grass, eucalyptus or other dried plants work great in boho decor. Sun motifs, moons and geometric shapes in soft lines also fit perfectly.

Popular motifs for boho posters

There are several motifs that recur frequently in boho art and that work particularly well as posters:

Botanical motifs are perhaps the most popular. Pampas grass, eucalyptus, monstera and other plants with interesting shapes create a natural and peaceful feeling. These motifs work well both as solitaires and in groups.

Sun and moon motifs represent the cycles of nature and fit perfectly with the boho philosophy of living in harmony with nature. These motifs often come in warm, earthy colors like terracotta and gold.

Ethnic patterns and mandalas create a cozy and spiritual feeling. These motifs often have complex details that make them interesting to look at.

Abstract shapes with soft lines and natural colors can also work great. Think rainbows in muted tones, soft waves or organic shapes that are reminiscent of nature's own creations.

Where should you place your boho posters?

The bedroom is a natural place for boho posters. Here you can create a calm and relaxed atmosphere with botanical motifs or soft abstract shapes. Place a few smaller paintings above the headboard or create a gallery of paintings on an empty wall.

In the living room, boho posters can contribute to a cozy and inviting feeling. Larger formats work well here, perhaps combined with some smaller complements. Remember to place the art at eye level when you are sitting on the sofa.

Even the hallway can be made more welcoming with the right boho art. Motifs that make visitors feel right at home, such as warm sun motifs or calm botanical prints, are often suitable here.

Tips for framing your boho posters

The choice of frame can make a big difference to the overall impression. For the boho style, natural materials like wood work great. An oak frame emphasizes the natural feel and creates warmth in the room.

If you want a more subdued look, a white frame can work well, especially if you have light walls. This creates a clean and airy feel while still maintaining the boho vibe.

Black frames can also work, but use them sparingly. They create contrast and can help define the art, but too many black frames can make the room feel less relaxed.

Create your own boho picture wall

A wall of posters is perfect for the boho style because it allows you to mix different motifs and sizes in a natural way. Start by gathering your posters on the floor and experiment with different combinations before hanging them.

Be inspired by nature's own irregularity. It doesn't have to be perfectly symmetrical, on the contrary, a slightly more organic placement can feel more authentic and relaxed.

Feel free to mix different motifs, but stick to a common color palette to create coherence. It could be warm earth tones, or perhaps a mix of green and terracotta.

Quality that lasts

When investing in boho posters, it's important to choose quality that will last. High-quality prints on premium paper retain their colors longer and give a more professional feel. At Care of Posters, we use Fine Art paper with giclée printing that gives a real quality feel and fits the boho style's focus on natural, authentic materials.

Boho posters are more than just decoration, they are a way to express your personality and create an atmosphere that makes you feel at home. With the right choice of motifs, colors and placement, you can easily change the feel of your home and create the relaxed, bohemian style you dream of.
