Your porch is the entryway to your home and one of the first areas friends and guests notice. But it shouldn’t merely be functional; it should also represent your personal style and influence the design of the rest of your home. If you’re a fan of laid-back but polished design, boho decor is an ideal way to design a casual, easygoing porch that’s still bursting with personality.

This post will guide you through 10 beautiful boho porch decoration ideas to upgrade your outdoor space and transform it into your new go-to hangout. With lush greenery and eclectic furniture, there’s something for every taste.

Woven Furniture And Organic Textures

Boho style is defined by a mix of texture, so start with woven or rattan furniture. Select chairs, lounge sets or even a hanging loveseat crafted from wicker, bamboo or cane. Not only do these add to a casual feel, but they’re surprisingly eco-friendly options as well.

Pro Tip: Layer on comfort by laying down snuggly, colorful throws or pinning patterned pillows coordinating with the vibe of your boho space.

Layer Rugs for a Cozy Feel

You know, of course, they layer rugs in boho spaces. Mix sizes, textures, and forms for some variety and interest. Apartment Therapy) According to Sotheby’s, if you have a boho porch, that might include putting a big jute rug down and layering it with a smaller rug with a geometric print. The layers create a visual focus and frame the seating area.

Quick Tip: You might want to think about weatherproof outdoor rugs to prevent damage from the elements.

Get a splash of colour with Boho Pillows

Nothing screams boho quite like pops of bright-colored or intricately patterned textiles — pillows, specifically. Choose pillows with tassels, fringe or embroidery in muddy colors like terracotta, mustard and teal. And stack them generously atop your furniture to encourage guests to sit and stay a spell.

Pro Tip: Layer up pillows of different sizes and shapes for a lived-in, laid-back feel.

Turn Up the Greenery

Lush greenery: Nothings say boho like some beautiful green. If you want a full-on boho oasis, then rim your porch with plants of all sorts of heights, textures and colours. Choose hanging planters, macramé plant hangers and potted plants in terracotta or stone pots. Favorite boho plants also are monstera, ferns and spider plants.

Green Thumb Tip: If you’re not very good with plants, opt for hearty choices like succulents or fake alternatives that don’t scream “I’m fake,” and still give off that boho vibe.

Bring on the Cozy with String Lights

Lighting can make a world of difference in any space and especially for a boho porch you have to think about ambient lighting. Drape string lights over seating or wind fairy lights around railings for a mellow, warm light. Well-pair with lanterns, or candles in boho-inspired holders for an enchanting vibe that translates from day to evening.

Pro Tip: Choose solar-powered lights for an eco-friendly option.

Incorporate Boho Wall Accents

And inspiration needn’t come in the form of furniture and decor. Walls or railings are perfect locations for one-of-a-kind boho accents such as macramé hangings, wooden plaques or woven mirrors. This will add little pockets of vertical interest to the room, further integrating the boho, shabby chic design aesthetic.

Design Tip: For those of you who are avid DIY’ers, make your own macramé piece for that special customized feel.

Go Big with a Hammock

There is no better symbol of relaxed boho living than a hammock. Whether it is a full-sized hanging hammock, or a chair meant for lounging, this is the quintessential added statement to any boho porch. If you have to buy a new hammock to fit the bill, look for one with fringe, or in earthy tones, to match the theme.

Pro Tip: Make sure the support of your porch is solid before installing your hammock to make sure everything is safe.

Use Boho-Inspired Side Tables

For extra use, add a couple of small side tables with a bohemian look. These might take the form of ceramic garden stools, teak wood slabs or metal tables with ornate detailing. These are the pieces that don’t just cradle your morning coffee or evening cocktail, but also work to add layers and depth in the design.

Quick Tip: Your tables should be weatherproof to prevent damage from the outdoor elements.

Add a Statement Piece

Take your boho porch up a notch with a daring statement piece that serves as a centerpiece. It might be a vintage peacock chair, a Moroccan pouf or a made-to-order coffee table. Just select one piece that speaks volumes and represents the laid back, carefree-ness of boho style.

Pro Tip: Scour thrift stores or flea markets for unique pieces for your porch.
