You might be looking at your patio this summer wishing that it looked different, fresher, more alive somehow. You’ve tried changing up your outdoor furniture or adding some new plants, but somehow you still aren’t satisfied with your backyard.

Thankfully, boho-chic has come back into style this summer! (Did it ever really leave?) Bohemian patios are massively trending right now, and for good reason. Boho is known for its bright colors and effortlessly summery style, making it the perfect model to rejuvenate your patio with.

Here are all the tips, tricks and inspiration to transform your patio into a bohemian oasis!

1. It’s All About the Patterns

The quickest way to your boho-chic patio is by adding – and mixing – different patters. You’ll want to find patterns and colors that go well together without clashing. The best way to do that is find your core colors, such as blue, orange, and pink, that you can stick to when picking your fabrics.

2. Pillows, Pillows, Pillows

If you aren’t ready to go pattern-crazy, another great trick is to add some stylish and bright throw pillows to your outdoor seating. You can mix and match your splashes of color without going overboard. Pro-tip: Keep your gorgeous boho pillows out of direct sunlight to avoid any sun bleaching!

3. Don’t Sweat the Little (Boho) Things

Boho-chic is all about effortless, spontaneous style. Candles and assorted glass bottles are a great decor to keep your patio looking fun and casual, without looking too groomed or planned. Adding a pop of metal can also really give you that lively look you’re going for! Don’t be afraid to use colored glass or add some cute succulents to your display!

4. Let There Be Lanterns

Hanging lanterns are an absolute must-have to complete any boho patio. These are especially useful for those of you who love to entertain on your patios in the evening by providing soft lighting and a touch of that bright boho style!

5. Under Your Bohemian Umbrella

Umbrellas are another staple of boho-chic, and can also be incredibly useful for providing some essential shade to keep you cool this summer. Try to find a patterned or colored umbrella to get the maximum bohemian effect on your patio!

6. Hammock Hang-Out

If you love hammocks the way that I love hammocks, then you’ll rejoice at their new trending status. Hammocks are one of the best pieces of decor and relaxation that you can add to your bohemian patio, especially if your patio is lacking in furniture. While hammocks may not be upping your backyard party game, you will definitely have a new place to enjoy the summer and your fresh new patio.

7. A Hanging Garden at Home

You might be sensing a theme here. Bohemian style is all about utilizing your space to the max. Adding some hanging plants and other hanging art can really boost your patio by incorporating some fresh greenery into your design. There’s also something undeniably whimsical about a draping plant catching the breeze.

Remember, bohemian style is all about being effortless and unique. March to the beat of your own drum and style your patio to your liking. All boho is beautiful!
