Decorate Your Outdoor Space in Bohemian Style
1. Choose Vibrant Coloured, Vintage Patio Furniture
When incorporating boho chic, the thumb rule is to make the space bold, bright and fun. Since the bohemian look is derived from the hippie vibes of the 60s, it features bright colours and bold patterns. That’s why buying vibrant coloured, vintage-looking patio furniture pieces that have a one-of-a-kind appearance will be a perfect choice. If you can’t find new furniture, look for pieces that you can paint in a vibrant hue and choose unique printed fabric for upholstery.
2. Go for a Unique Rug
One of the easiest ways to change the vibe of your patio or backyard is to add an unconventional, printed rug that screams hippie spirit. Go for artsy, ethnic prints featuring loud colours that immediately catch attention. From florals to tie and dye, from batik to ikat, the rug can feature any design which is nature inspired. Place a rug near your patio seating area to give an instant boho facelift to your outdoor space. You can also use it at the backyard entry point to make an impression.3. Don’t Forget Lanterns
Lanterns are an integral part of a bohemian backyard. They illuminate the outdoor space while softening the vibe. But to achieve the boho mood, you have to ditch those modern and sophisticated lanterns found in contemporary homes. Search for old coloured-glass lanterns that give soft and mellow light. They are a perfect way to add a laid-back accent to create a relaxing atmosphere in your backyard. Just make sure they are steady enough to hold on a windy day.4. Add Lush Greenery
Achieving a bohemian style outdoor space is impossible without adding some potted plants. These lush greens not only refresh your patio or backyard but also offer a great opportunity to add colours. Seasonal blooms in ceramic pots painted in bright colours such as ocean blue and bright orange will fill your outdoor space with vibrant hues for which boho décor style is famous. Place potted plants all around your outdoor furniture area, on the ground, on the steps and on the logs. You can even choose a green wall and hang colourful pots on it to create an interesting look in your outdoors. Simply put, try to incorporate greens and other colours in every way possible to get an ideal boho chic backyard.
