Are you in need of a little escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life? But you don’t have the time to go on holiday? Well, look no further than your own backyard. With these 5 simple changes, you can transform your garden into a bohemian oasis. A place to relax and unwind after a long day.

 

First things first. Let’s talk about setting the tone. A bohemian garden should feel warm, cosy, and inviting. To achieve this, consider incorporating natural elements such as wood, stone, and plants. A mix of textures and colours will add to the overall ambiance. Think of a neutral colour palette with pops of bold colours and patterns.

 

Now that we have the overall aesthetic in mind let’s dive into the details. Here are five ways to turn your garden into a bohemian paradise.

 

Add Some Greenery

 

One of the most integral elements of any garden is plants. Not only do they add colour and life to your space, but they also help to purify the air and provide a natural barrier for privacy. Consider incorporating a mix of tall and short plants, as well as a variety of leaf shapes and colours. Some great bohemian-inspired options include succulents, ferns, and trailing vines.

 

Transform Your Patio

 

Your patio is likely the central gathering spot in your garden. So it’s important to make it as inviting as possible. Add a cosy seating area with comfortable cushions and throws to transform your patio. If you have a seating area already, reposition it to face a feature such as a water feature or a tree. Adding a pergola or a trellis can create a sense of enclosure and privacy.

 

Incorporate Water

 

The sound of running water is known for being incredibly soothing. Perfect for creating a relaxing atmosphere. So it makes a great addition to your bohemian garden. Consider adding a small pond or a fountain to your space. If a pond or fountain isn’t feasible, add a bird bath or a small water feature instead. There’s plenty to choose from, so go with something that fits your personal style. 

 

Hang Some Lights

 

String lights are a great way to create a cosy atmosphere in your garden. Hang them above your seating area or drape them over a pergola. If your pergola is open, look into polycarbonate sheets. They make excellent roofing for any garden building. Which means you can get outside no matter the weather. And they’ll look amazing draped in fairy lights to create a cosy retreat. If you’re looking for something a bit more unique, consider adding some lanterns or candles to the space.

 

Incorporate Unique Elements

 

One of the hallmarks of bohemian style is the use of unique, eclectic elements. This can be anything from a vintage mirror or a colourful tapestry to a pottery collection or a painted piece of furniture. Incorporate elements that have personal significance to you. Or even some little treasures that you’ve picked up on your travels.
