How To Bring Beachy Boho Vibes To Your Patio

July 13, 2021 By Kari Leave a Comment

Macrame art, trailing vines, the best leather mat, and more! Here’s how to bring beachy boho vibes to your patio.

how to bring beachy boho vibes to your patio -1You can absolutely bring a fresh look to your outdoor space each season without having to start from scratch! A few new purchases or maybe a small DIY here and there can do the trick and save you cash.

I wanted to bring a lighter and brighter beachy boho vibe to our patio this year. So, I took to my Instagram Story poll to get some help deciding whether or not to paint our outdoor sectional from dark brown to tan or light beige. There was an overwhelming ‘Heck No’ response, many of you citing your own personal experiences and challenges with this DIY (the paint tends to crack and you’re pretty much committed to repainting each year). In the end, I was happy to keep ours as-is. Instead, I added in lighter pieces to freshen things up and now the dark sectional actually provides a really nice contrast.

Here’s how to bring beachy boho vibes to your patio!

how to bring beachy boho vibes to your patio-2#1: Hanging Pots

Is it your goal to be surrounded by plants? Mine too! Your patio is the place to really go to town with hanging pots. If you don’t have a covered spot to hang them, try several Shepard Hooks at different heights around your space

In keeping with the earthy boho theme, I like to use lots of vine plants and trailers for that gorgeous cascading look. You could use trailing mint, ivy, fuschias, lobelia, sweet potato vine, and/or strawberries.

As for the pots, look for ones that are brown, tan, or white. You could also do mini macrame hangers as I worked in below. If you can find a layered, multi-pot piece similar to the one in the corner by our sectional, you’ve hit the jackpot! I found ours at Homesense. All of our hanging pots are secured with S Hooks.

This beautiful knotting technique used to create fine textiles and fibre art is perfect for your boho-inspired space. Both of our pieces were created by our friend Kyla Lindholm of Wren Works. She’s currently based in Costa Rica but can ship worldwide. Our stunning Wren Works art was from very early in her career. See how her talent has taken off here!

These styles of planters and pots can work into several different decor styles but I particularly love them for beachy boho. Aim to use different heights of plants and I suggest loosely following the ‘The Rule of Three‘.

I love using indoor plants on our back patio because I can just bring them in for winter (less waste)! For the others, aim to have fragrant annuals inside. It’s a beautiful thing to not only have a space that is visually appealing but also takes you on a sensory experience. My new favourite deliciously-scented annual is Heliotrope which blooms light purple and white flowers and smells like vanilla! Definitely have potted herbs in your space to add more beautiful scent.

#4: Woven and Linen Textiles

Typical Boho decor fabric seems to centre around hand-woven, rattan, wicker, fringe, and worn leather. Our natural base is a handwoven jute area rug and we’ve also used a rattan table runner, white fringe pillows, and a leather mat by Gathre. These mats are amazing and so versatile! Can be used as a beach towel, picnic blanket, play mat for your kids, or even a tablecloth! Shop them here.

#5: White Lanterns

To really bring home the “beachy” part of this, definitely work in some white lanterns. Also – using different sources of light – string lanterns, fire tables, and larger stand-alone lanterns is super romantic and provides that added interest.

#6: Hanging Chairs

Although we don’t currently have one, a hanging rattan or macrame chair would be a perfect addition to your beachy boho patio! I love this one, this one, and this one.

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️

🤰I’m playing catchup on some pregnancy blog posts but I wanted to make sure this was up, especially for those who have been following our journey.

(If you can believe it, I took a video of the exact moment I found out but it disappeared from my files. Poof! Gone.💨 Of all the videos to lose…. 🙈 But very happy to have this photo).
