1) Find the perfect table
When it comes to designing a boho dining table, the first step is to find the perfect table. You can easily find beautiful neutral tables at stores like West Elm, Wayfair, and more. To keep with the boho aesthetic, stick to a neutral color like a lighter warm wood. Don’t worry about finding the exact same style or shape as what you have in mind – you can always use accessories and layering to make it your own. Just focus on finding a table that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Once you have the perfect boho dining table, you can move on to the fun part of adding your personal touches and creating a unique space to enjoy meals with loved ones and entertaining!

2) Consider your color scheme
One of the most important aspects of designing a boho dining table is the color scheme. When it comes to creating a boho tablescape, think earthy tones, like when you think of Arizona! Sands, beige’s, browns, off-whites, and greens are perfect for this style. Don’t be afraid to add a pop of color with bold accessories like table runners or placemats.
Get color inspiration from the outdoors! Beach boho style is always a popular choice with its natural hues of blues and greens. Or take inspiration from the desert with warm earthy tones. Whatever you choose, make sure it fits the overall theme of your space and complements the other elements you plan to incorporate.
Remember, the boho style is all about mixing and matching. So, don’t be afraid to combine different patterns, textures, and colors. Just make sure they all work together cohesively. Incorporating a well-planned color scheme will help set the tone for your boho dining table. Keep these tips in mind as you choose your palette for a tablescape that is perfectly boho!
3) Choose the right chairs
Now that you’ve got a table, choosing the right chairs is key. You want to opt for chairs that are comfortable, functional, and that complement the overall aesthetic of the space. When selecting your chairs, think about the materials and textures you want to incorporate. Rattan and woven options are a popular choice, as they add a natural and bohemian touch to the room. Alternatively, if you prefer a more eclectic look, mix and match different chairs to create an eclectic and interesting arrangement. Above all, make sure that the chairs you choose are comfortable, as they will be the centerpiece of your dining area.

6) Add some lush greenery
What a better way to add natural elements than with some plants! Whether it’s a potted succulent, a dry oversized palm, greenery can really bring the bohemian vibe to your dining space. You can place your greenery on the center of the table or use it to fill in gaps around the table. A tip for using plants is to mix them up – choose a combination of tall, leafy and spiky plants to create interest and depth. You can also experiment with different vessels such as terracotta pots, woven baskets, or even old glass jars to create a unique and eclectic look. Not only will plants bring the boho feel to your dining table, but they’ll also add a touch of freshness and life to the space.

7) Use Dry Stems
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance yet visually appealing addition to your boho dining table, try adding some dry stems. Palms, Faux Pampas grass, and neutral florals are all great options that can be easily spread around your table or displayed in a larger vase as a centerpiece. These dry stems are versatile and can make a statement or add a subtle touch of texture to your table decor. Plus, they require little upkeep and will last for a long time, making them a practical yet stylish choice for your dining table.

You want to create a bohemian look that feels effortless and organic. Be sure to hang your artwork at eye level so that everyone can appreciate it while they’re sitting at the table. - Dreamcatcher: A dreamcatcher is a classic boho symbol that can add some whimsy to your dining room. Look for one with feathers and beads in earthy tones.
