Get the Look: Boho Garden Decor Ideas for 2023

You don’t have to reserve your decor ideas for your home’s interior; why not extend your inspiration to your outdoor spaces?

Bohemian or “boho” vibes are very much on-trend at the moment. This look combines a relaxed, free-spirited feel with soft or natural-feeling textures, colours and materials along with rustic and folk-inspired patterns.

In this article, we’ll offer a range of exciting ideas from our Boho Garden trend to help you create the perfect outdoor environment - no matter the size of your budget and however big or small your space may be.

Plants

Greenery offers the perfect complement to the boho style - and, of course, where better to create beautiful arrangements of plants than in your garden?

Select beautiful planters and pots in an attractive, mismatched range of sizes and earthy or nature-inspired designs, then select lush plants of various types and textures for the ideal look.

B&M Top Tip: Arranging planters of different sizes in well-arranged clusters always makes for a lovely touch.

Walls

When planning great boho decor, it’s important to arrange your space using different levels. Consider placing planters and accessories on stands and arranging plants in hanging baskets and adding nature-inspired pieces, such as floral wreaths, in well-chosen spots.

Including pretty-but-practical elements such as wall hooks offer a great way to place additional elements without taking up too much floor space - but you should also feel free to hang attractive plaques and pieces of outdoor art that serve purely aesthetic purposes!

B&M Top Tip: Consider all of your senses when creating your bohemian garden. A lovely set of windchimes can look beautiful while creating a relaxing atmosphere with its musical sound.

Seating

A gorgeous garden is a perfect place to sit and relax - or even to entertain guests! Boho spaces are ideal for chilled-out gatherings, so you should definitely consider investing in some affordable, cosy seating options to add to your setup.

Alternatively, you can give existing garden chairs a boho makeover with comfy, patterned seat pads.

B&M Top Tip: If your surrounding decor is busy and bright, consider garden furniture that is more minimalist while still following the natural theme.

Floors

It can be easy to forget to extend your plans to the surface beneath your feet - but, even here, there are plenty of exciting options!

Cosy textures are part and parcel of the boho style, so don’t hesitate to explore the possibility of laying gorgeous outdoor rugs in your garden.

Consider a rustic or “tribal” pattern to add a little complementary earthiness to your space.

B&M Top Top: Impress your visitors and add endless cosiness by installing an awesome fire pit.

Lighting

Solar string lights add a little magic to any garden, and there are plenty of cute and quirky designs to choose from! The beauty of this lighting option is that it will keep your outdoor spaces illuminated well into the evening without any need for costly mains power.

Candles also offer a romantic, traditional lighting option. There’s nothing quite like the flicker of a beautiful flame!

B&M Top Tip: Try to avoid leaving your candles outside overnight, as they can easily become waterlogged and their wicks will require drying out before they can be used again. Also, be sure to keep them well away from pets, kids, clothing, hair and flammable decor items!

Accessories

You can complete your design with any finishing touches you choose, from attractive cushions and snuggly throws for your garden furniture to ornaments, hanging decorations, bunting, water features and anything else that complements your space.

Don’t hold back from putting your own personal touch on your boho garden to ensure that it truly reflects your tastes.

Think about seating, lighting and clever finishing touches to bring your ideas to life.

Remember to keep in mind that boho is about freedom, nature, relaxation and the simple things in life - so just take everything step by step and enjoy the process as you create a beautiful outdoor haven for yourself and your loved ones to cherish.
