Boho Patio Ideas
Just in time to enjoy these warm, late summer evenings, I freshened up our covered deck area. In my effort to maximize every inch of our home, I began looking outside. I wanted a space that felt relaxed, inviting, and easy to pull together without a full-blown makeover. If you’ve been eyeing your own outdoor space wondering how to give it a little love, I’ve got you. After a few delays and some fun experimenting, I finally pulled together a cozy space I’m excited to share the boho patio ideas that made the biggest impact (without a big budget or renovation!).
Boho Patio Decor Sources
- Natural Wicker Woven Outdoor Loveseat – A perfect base piece—this neutral, textured loveseat adds an organic feel and anchors your outdoor seating area. Pair with layered pillows and a cozy throw for an inviting lounge spot.
- Black and White Outdoor Rug This one’s a favorite for a reason, an outdoor rug defines your space instantly and adds bold contrast under neutral or wood-toned furniture. Works especially well on patios or porches that need a little visual structure.
- Terracotta Plant Stands Use these to add height and warmth to your plant game. The earthy terracotta color brings in a natural element that pairs beautifully with greens and neutrals.
- Outdoor Geometric Lumbar Pillow – Toss this on your loveseat or accent chairs for a fun pop of pattern—it works especially well to break up solids or pair with softer stripes.
- Natural Outdoor Arches Pillow – A subtle print with warm, earthy tones—this one layers beautifully with bolder patterns. Try placing it behind a smaller lumbar pillow for that effortless styled look.
- Wicker Outdoor Chairs – Mix these with your loveseat for a cozy and casual vibe. They bring texture and a touch of boho style, especially when paired with throw pillows or lightweight blankets.
- Black and White Geometric Outdoor Pillow – Modern and graphic—this pillow adds edge and structure to a softer palette. It’s great for tying in black metal accents or anchoring a more neutral setup.
- All Weather Outdoor Round Coffee Table – Durable and low-maintenance, this table is perfect for holding drinks, snacks, and citronella candles. The round shape is great for softening angular furniture layouts.
- Citronella Candle in Cement Jar – Not only does it keep bugs at bay, but the cement jar adds a minimalist, modern touch. Group with other candles or set it solo as a centerpiece.
- Boho Kilim Blanket (also used as a towel) Toss this over a chair or loveseat for texture, color, and functionality. It’s stylish enough to layer with pillows but can double as a picnic throw or beach towel.
- Black Wire Candle Holders (looks pretty inside too!) These look great outside with flickering tea lights—and just as good styled on a shelf or mantel indoors. Group them in three for more of a statment
Outdoor Rugs
If you ask me, starting off with an outdoor rug really sets the stage for a cozy outdoor living space. It can also define a space so furniture doesn’t feel like it’s floating (just like inside!)
In this case, I wasn’t really loving the dark deck stain (from the previous owners) so I chose a lighter rug to brighten it up and add contrast. I also used a 6′ x9′ size to really cover the area and make an impact! I like this Zarin Outdoor Rug because it’s specific to outdoor use and has a neutral design to build on.
Outdoor Patio Furniture
Next up, outdoor furniture! There are so many choices out there, how do you decide? Well, for me I was looking for items that would fulfill a lot of different needs.
Previously we had a couple small chairs and a metal bistro set. These are still super useful, but not particularly cozy. For this space, I was hoping to create more of an outdoor living room where we could relax, chat, read, relax, and be together. A cushioned rattan sofa and two side chairs fit the bill!
How to Style Patio Decor
To complete the outdoor living space, I included a few, intentional cozy details. I like including pieces that really add value so I choose really carefully.
You know I must have a plant (or 20) in every space! Here, I included our herb garden with oregano, basil, lavender, and parsley in the planters and baskets. The throw pillows and blankets make evenings out here especially inviting. This Kilim throw blanket is one of my favorites outdoors!
