Whether you have balcony or a spacious backyard, you can turn it into lovely Bohemian nest which exudes energy and everlasting attractiveness. Richness of colours combined with stunning patterns and textures are the foundation of Bohemian style, which, if applied on patio furniture and decor, leads to eclectic ambience, ideal for magical outdoor moments. So, if you would like to enjoy in radiant bohemian atmosphere just a step away from your indoor comfort, adopt a couple of simple suggestions which can help you create your piece of heaven:

Amazing patio furniture

Glamorous chairs with curved legs and backrests are definitely the pieces you should welcome into your backyard. You can accentuate the diversity by arranging a comfy seating area which will include rattan and hardwood sofas, armchairs and garden benches with colors that go from natural brown nuances to white, orange or stone gray. Brightly painted logs can be used as cute side tables, while vintage lumber shelves can be a great place for storing colorful pots.

The point is to create rustic atmosphere with a dose of elegance, so don’t buy new patio furniture. You can replace patio cushions and pads with colourful fabrics from the Patiopads.com selection. This way, you can be creative as you make your casual furniture look like new.

Abundance of soft cushions

There’s nothing more Bohemian than plenty of colourful cushions scattered over your patio sofa, around the coffee table or over a romantic yard swing. Apart from being very fluffy, cushions should bring an explosion of colours and patterns, so feel free to enrich your seating nook with cushions covered in maxi floral motifs and indigo blue, red, orange or bold purple hues. Cushions designed in an Indian style are also welcome, but lace, feather and satin pillowcases are simply irresistible.

Romantic Bohemian Illumination

Turning your outdoor space into a Bohemian shelter also means a lot of creative lighting, so you can start with rustic lanterns or moon-shaped chandeliers for your balcony ceiling. Another idea is to put scented candles into nicely shaped glass jars and place them around patio furniture, on coffee tables or alongside the garden.

Creative decorations

Lush curtains made of blossoming flowers, vintage pottery and amazingly contoured plant holders definitely present unavoidable Bohemian elements for outdoor space. However, creative ornaments, such as colorful dream catchers, repainted old containers, and crystal garden decorations are the main things your Bohemian oasis should have. Bricks inserted into garden walls and floor will bring a wonderful rustic touch, but what always works in outside décor is a fire pit which can be installed in one of the surrounding backyard walls.

Dozens of different plants

You can further enrich patio tables with vases which contain bouquets made of gerbera and roses or create a beautiful garden out of different cactuses, fernery, lush pot flowers and tropical plants. Decorative shrubbery and dense hedges are great way to fence the outdoor space, while lianas with purple, red and blue flowers create extraordinary scenery if attached on wooden wall frames.

Radiant energy, dreamy ambience and eternal stylishness are definitely achievable in outdoor spaces; all you need is little creativity and willingness to think in a Bohemian way.
