Stylish boho is here to stay, and it's not going anywhere. Your outdoor space is the perfect place to incorporate the breezy, carefree bohemian aesthetic into your home! Find out what makes boho patios so chic, and find a few ideas for how you can turn your backyard, porch, or deck into an oasis for entertaining or relaxing.
Ever looked admiringly at pictures of those exotic S.E. Asian patios but thought it too difficult to achieve in your own back yard? Well, it may not be as difficult as you think. By revamping with just a few well-chosen boho-inspired pieces, your space will be instantly elevated to that desired oasis of tranquility. The beauty of boho patio decor is that there are no rules when it comes to mixing and matching furniture pieces.
Start by looking for furniture that is comfortable and inviting, such as a daybed, a hammock, or a hanging chair. Then, incorporate different textures and materials to add tactile and visual interest. Wicker or rattan chairs and sofas look great as do wooden benches. For added effect, why not combine them with a bamboo coffee table. Then, for extra comfort and design statement add plenty of cushions and throws in bold colors and patterns. Voila! Yard transformed!
Boho design is all about bringing the outside in so the addition of natural materials will enhance the look. Materials such as wood, bamboo, rattan, jute, and sisal look so much better than synthetic materials and are 100% recyclable (my words) and can be used both for furniture and planters. Terracotta pots, wicker baskets, macrame plant hangers or even repurposed vintage containers will add to the look.
As we’ve said, plants are essential for creating an outside oasis. We would suggest choosing a mix of different plants such as succulents, ferns, and trailing vines, to add to the natural and earthy vibe. If you have the time and inclination, wooden pallets or trellises attached to a wall look fabulous hung with plants. It’s not all about the boho aesthetics though. As we know, plants and greenery will keep the space cool but will also give you the added bonus of a bit of tree-bathing, albeit on a small scale; something that has been proven to promote mental well-being.
Bold and bright colors are the hallmark of boho style. Choose colors that reflect your personality or favorite treasured pieces but don't be afraid to mix and match different colors and patterns. Earthy tones such as terracotta, rust, and ochre can provide a neutral base, while pops of bright pink, turquoise, and green can add an eye-catching accent. Layer different colors and patterns with textiles such as rugs, cushions, and throws. A more muted color palette is fine but then go big on textures. Read on!
Textiles add texture, depth and visual interest to your boho patio decor. Whether they be in bold colors or neutral shades, look for outdoor rugs and layer them with different textures of cushions and throws. Why not add textured curtains or a woven wall hanging. Fabrics, such as macrame, linen, or cotton, add visual interest and create a cozy atmosphere.
No boho patio is complete without a few unique accessories. Look for interesting items like colorful glass or vintage lanterns or repurposed pieces. Woven wall hangings will add personality and charm to your space. To make your patio truly stand out, incorporate unique pieces of statement furniture, like a bold-colored outdoor sofa or a mosaic tile coffee table. Adding unique accessories can make your patio feel like a true extension of your personality and style It’s All About The Hammock. Hammocks are a key element to achieving a Boho vibe on your outdoor patio. Here, a hammock adds a great addition to this Venice Beach, California backyard garden oasis. The patterned outdoor rug brings texture and warmth.
Lighting is an important element which is sometimes overlooked in patio design.(my words) To add a touch of enchantment and ambience, consider incorporating solar-powered string or fairy lights, rattan lanterns or candles. We promise you this will lift your space from the mundane to a warm and inviting oasis. So, let your imagination run wild and start creating that beautiful outside, boho space. Next time you’re at a garage sale or flea market, look out for unique pieces that don’t cost the earth but could add to the eclectic mix of your boho-themed outdoor space.
By mixing and matching these with natural materials and textured fabrics, adding a splash of color and adding those all-important plants and greenery, you can create a unique, relaxing outdoor space in which you’ll just love to while away the hours. What are you waiting for?
