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.

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.

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.
