Boho Home Decor: 11 Pieces for Your Home
Updated on: August 21, 2026
Boho home decor is where the style is easiest to get wrong, because the temptation is always to add another object. The pieces that hold a room together tend to be fewer and better — hand-thrown ceramics, textiles with visible making, one sculptural object that earns its surface. Eleven from independent studios, in stoneware, porcelain, hand-blown glass, cast bronze and wool.
What makes an object boho?
Material you can read, form that could not have been machine-made identically twice, and a surface that rewards being touched. Hand-thrown ceramics qualify almost automatically; so does anything hand-glazed, hand-blown or hand-woven, because the process leaves variation the eye picks up before the mind names it.
The discipline is one object per surface. A shelf packed edge to edge reads as storage, while the same objects spaced apart read as chosen — which is the difference between a boho room and a cluttered one.
11 boho decor pieces
Olé Series – Plates Edition by Hania Jneid
Hania Jneid’s work is defined by intuitive experimentation with technique and surface. Hand-built and hand-glazed in stoneware, so no two come out the same — the Olé series runs across vases, tea cups and plates, and the plates are the most usable entry into it. Eclectic enough to sit apart from a matching table setting.

Medley – Textured Rug or Wall Hanging by Lyk Carpet
Hand-knotted from Tibetan highland wool, plant-dyed in traditional pots, at 100 knots per square inch. Mareike Lienau designed it as a wall piece as much as a floor one, and the practical case for hanging it is acoustic — 100% wool objects absorb reverberation, which framed art cannot do. Fairtrade certified by Label STEP.

Heads – Cast Bronze Sculpture by Lucas Gutierrez Studio
Stylised human heads and torsos reduced to essential forms, with anatomical detail kept to the curve of a spine or the hollow of an ear. The work bridges the studio’s digital practice with traditional bronze casting — modelled on screen, then poured the way it would have been centuries ago. Solid bronze, 7kg in a 9 × 20 × 9cm footprint, which is unusually dense for its size.
€7.500 incl. tax
Cushion 03 by Teddy Breedlove
Breedlove treats his cushions as textile paintings — he calls them his “alternative canvas”. Made in his New York studio from responsibly sourced deadstock seconds, combining hand and machine techniques, so each is one of a kind and variation in form is expected. Supplied with a down and feather insert.
€845 incl. tax
Intersect 0 1 0 0 – 3D Printed Ceramic Vase by Yiannis Vogdanis
The whole collection answers one question: what can you do with a single curve? A continuous line allowed to intersect itself produces elegant shapes and, more usefully, several independent containers from one gesture. The pieces are sculptural rather than sealed, so treat them as objects rather than as vases for cut flowers.
€540 incl. tax
Splay The Louvre No. 1 – Free-Blown Glass Vase by Tamara Abrar
Bohemian glass blown into moulds made of metal grids, where each grid can only be used once — which is why no two vases share a shape, pattern or colour. Handcrafted in a traditional Czech workshop under the designer’s supervision. One of these is in the permanent collection at the Museum beim Markt in Karlsruhe. Three colourways.

€300 incl. tax
Distressed Sandstone Vessel No. 5 by Alex Roby Design
The cracking is engineered rather than accidental. A cylinder is thrown in tan clay, dried with a heat gun, coated in white slip, dried again, then treated with sodium silicate and heated once more — after which the walls are pushed out from the inside, breaking the dried outer layer to reveal the tan clay beneath. A wabi-sabi surface arrived at through chemistry. Glazed inside so it holds water.
€248 incl. tax
Marbled Dream #1 – Handcrafted Ceramic Plate by Vale Ro
Hand-shaped with organic, undulating edges and painted in bold black oxide, sitting between abstraction and figuration. High-fired stoneware, so it works flat on a surface or mounted as a wall piece — plates hung on a wall are an underrated way to add pattern without committing to a rug. Hand wash to preserve the illustration.

€150 incl. tax
Romantic Pride – Ceramic Loop Hanger by Studio Klaudyna Marciniak
Two hangers embodying distinct moods — Romantic Pride in pink, Playful Happiness in vibrant yellow. Arranged across a wall they follow the steps of a waltz, so the placement is the design rather than the object. Sold separately, and the pair is the point. Porcelain, roughly 11 × 6 × 11cm.
€130 incl. tax
Pome Stone Sculpture Geocromatik by Polen Ceramic Studio
A collection built on deconstructing the utilitarian object into sculptural form, taking geography as its source. Each piece comes from a matrix but is elaborated and colored by hand, so every one differs. Contemporary work grounded in Pre-Columbian and local Peruvian pottery. 17 × 8.5 × 8.5cm — small enough to be the single object on a shelf.
€100 incl. tax
Turchino – Tattooed Ceramic Plate by ccontinua+mamt
Thrown on the wheel by Chiara and decorated by Francesco with underglaze pencils, translating hand-poke tattooing onto clay. The drawings emerge as the food is eaten — a secret message surfacing on an empty plate, which is a genuinely different idea about what tableware is for. Food safe, dishwasher and microwave safe.
€75 incl. tax
Frequently asked questions
What is boho home decor?
Decorative objects in natural materials with visible making — hand-thrown ceramics, hand-blown glass, woven textiles, cast metal. The style is defined by texture and irregularity rather than by a set palette, and by objects that look collected rather than bought as a set.
How many decorative objects should a shelf hold?
Fewer than you think, grouped in odd numbers with clear space between them. Visual clutter comes from the number of outlines rather than the volume they occupy, so three considered objects will read better than eight good ones packed together.
Can you hang ceramic plates as wall decor?
Yes, and it is an efficient way to add pattern without committing to a rug or a large artwork. Use plate hangers rather than adhesive discs, which fail over time, and group in an irregular arrangement rather than a grid so it reads as collected.
Why do handmade ceramics vary so much?
Because throwing, glazing and firing all introduce variation that cannot be controlled precisely. Kiln position alone changes how a glaze breaks. Studios describe pieces as one of a kind for that reason, and the variation is what separates them visually from moulded production.
Where should you start with boho decor?
With one textile and one ceramic object, then build slowly. Fix a palette of three or four earth tones early and hold it — that single constraint is what keeps a layered room reading as deliberate rather than accumulated.
