What is bohemian chic style?

The bohemian style is characterized by a invitation to travelIn mixing different trends and favoring ancient objects.

There we find it natural materialsof warm colors AND various models : plants, ethnic, flowers, Navajo…

Bohemian decoration is often synonymous withaccumulation : colors, prints, objects…

THE chic version takes these markers but with elegance and a certain sobriety.

We are in favor white and beige as main colors and we keep warm colors for small objects and accessories such as cushions.

The choice of this sobriety is not due to chance: it is much more relaxing for the eyes. The bohemian chic terrace is a peaceful place where we like to spend time and enjoy the present moment.

We do not refrain from taking new objects, to bring modernity to the place.

After these few explanations on the bohemian chic style, here are now the essential elements for creating a terrace with this spirit.

Garden furniture

For garden furniture in a bohemian chic style, you need a model that combines a structure in natural material and comfortable white or beige cushions.

I have selected 2 for you:

The pergola and its accessories

When I imagine walking on my terrace, I see myself sheltered by a light shade.

For this, you need a pergola. Choose a template wooden that you will leave in his natural color or on which you will paint white.

In any case overcome it with a wicker cane or natural bamboo.
The important thing is that there is some space between the stems, to allow some light to pass through. This is how you get a light shadow.

If you have to face to facedon't hesitate to use it white curtains which you will hang on the sides of the pergola. So chic!

The carpet

Outdoor rugs are essential in bohemian designs.
Beyond thedecorative appearancethey have a huge advantage: they let you hide a floor that doesn't fit the style you're trying to create.

As I mentioned in the introduction, the bohemian style favors natural materials. If you have a wooden or beige natural stone terrace, that's great (and that doesn't stop you from decorating it with some rugs).
But if the covering of your terrace is not suitable at all, you can cover most, or even all, of it with carpets and thus hide it.

Carpets are also an opportunity to do thisbring a little imagination to your layout with Navajo, floral, ethnic, tropical prints… and with brighter colors than until now.
THE warm colors they are always appreciated in the bohemian world (yellow, red, orange, ocher…) and why not, sparingly, a few touches of blue or green to enhance everything.
But keep in mind that we want elegance, so don't even waste too much on the colors!

The pillows

Pillows will lead to welcoming side on your terrace.

Placed on furniture or directly on the floorthey are also there to provide touches of color.

My advice is the same as for carpets: bring imagination with brighter patterns and colors, without mixing too much to maintain the chic look.
To do this, select some prints and some colors that you will reuse on different cushions. You can also remember the ones you chose for carpets.

From a practical perspective, consider hosting templates materials made for the outdoors and preferably removable covers to wash them easily from time to time.

Buying advice: it is often easier to find original covers than complete cushions. So don't hesitate to select the covers and fill them yourself.

Plant

In interior decoration we find numerous plants in rooms with a bohemian atmosphere. And these are often the plants ofexotic appearance who are privileged.

Although a terrace is often accompanied by an adjacent garden, it can be pretty place some potted plants. This will be an opportunity to plant other types of plants besides those in the garden and bring them indoors in the winter if they do not tolerate the winter cold in your region.

Here are some examples: banana, palm, bamboo and even cactus if the space is sheltered.

For the pots, the terracotta they remain a must in this bohemian chic decor, but they can also be made of wood or another natural material.

Lighting

Light is essential for enjoying your terrace even when the sun sets.

THE suspensions they are very popular in a bohemian atmosphere.

Obviously we'll take care of it round white paper lanterns (there are more resistant outdoor versions).
They are there too Natural fiber garden pendant lamps or again, luminous garlands outdoor. For the latter, avoid multicolored versions to keep the sober side.
For their decorative appearance, you can place them large white candles in the lanterns.

Even more decorations

The bohemian style evokes travel, so you can decorate your terrace with some objects brought back from holidays or even found : wooden chest, pouf, dream catcher, decorations to hang on the wall…

A tip for walls

If your terrace is against a wall of the house and is not in keeping with the theme, for example, due to its colour, the simplest thing is to cover it with a bamboo or natural wicker cane!
