The first step in creating a bohemian backyard is to find some vibrant outdoor furniture. Since the bohemian look derives from the hippie vibes of the 60s and the integration of other ethnicities, it doesn’t matter if your patio furniture is from a thrift shop or a furniture store. Look for pieces that you can paint in a vibrant hue, or find a unique printed fabric that will brighten up your outdoor space.

We found a similar diamond-weave chair that can be used as a great starting point for your bohemian backyard (Anthropologie, $168-$398).

For an instant vibe change of your space, add an outdoor rug. Boho lovers enjoy artsy, ethnic prints and loud colors that brighten up their wardrobes, their decor and, yes, even their backyards. And although this is an awesome addition, remember that for a true bohemian flair, the opportunities of colors and styles are endless.

Regardless of whether you’re attempting to add a bohemian style to your backyard or just want to add an extra sense of comfort to your veranda for chilly nights, ethnic blankets are excellent accent items. Usually made with more durability and heavier fabrics than other blankets, these blankets are awesome for enduring all sorts of outdoor weather conditions.

If you want to have hippie-chic backyard decor, an easy way to spruce up your backyard and your garden is with the use of succulents. Place them all around your furniture area, on logs, on the ground, or anywhere to liven up your area with simple greens.

If you want a bohemian backyard, forget the traditional lighting — it’s all about the lanterns. Lovely when hung or simply placed around your space, lanterns soften the mood and tone down the vibe. A laid-back accent for outdoor relaxing, everybody loves soft lighting.

Available in four colors that mesh well with any bohemian backyard, the Threshold ceramic lantern is flawless (Target, $10-$20).

Last, but certainly not least, your outdoor space isn’t officially bohemian until it has its own blanket fort or teepee. The perfect backdrop for gazing at the stars or camping in the comforts of your own backyard, you simply cannot go wrong with your very own teepee.
