It is possible to give style to your outdoor courtyard while making it comfortable and welcoming. We first choose black as the background color to create an elegant space. We then favor folding furniture and accessories, to arrange the courtyard as it pleases in a bohemian spirit. The only strong element is the floor: the imitation cement tiles with XXL patterns give character and character, in harmony with the deckchair fabrics and cushions with graphic patterns. Finally, by adding vegetal touches, we obtain a friendly and versatile living space.
The Strengths Of The Bohemian Chic Court
- Walls covered with black coatings (plaster and exterior cladding panels in natural stone) which give relief.
- Two shade sails combined in a nice black and white duo.
- A long planter to invite plants into this mineral universe.
- A bohemian decor that favors raw and natural materials.
- Folding furniture, to hang on the wall when not in use.
- A graphic floor covering with XXL tiles like cement tiles.
- A brazier, ideal for enjoying cool evenings.
Featured Black Color
We give character, material, and depth to the volume of the courtyard by choosing black to cover its walls. Black is ideal for highlighting a layout and bringing it a chic side, whatever the style of decoration.
To create a bohemian atmosphere in this courtyard, we choose to give the walls relief and roughness with two types of alternating coverings.
We contrast with a coating covered with a facade paint and, on the back wall, an exterior cladding panel in natural stone whose light reveals the nuances and roughness.
On the ground, we fully bet on a black and white duo by mixing large, plain and patterned tiles. This gives a graphic “carpet” with a strong character.
A Curtain Of Plants
To bring the plant into this mineral atmosphere, we install a long masonry planter on the back wall.
For an exotic “tropical forest” effect, we mix the types of plants and the shades of foliage.
The trick: we fix a mirror behind the plants to add a little more light and give depth.
Space Saving Furniture
Who says the bohemian spirit, says change and adaptability. This applies in particular to furniture and other equipment, the aim being to optimize storage in the courtyard and to be able to adjust the organization as desired.
We opt for light and easy-to-fold furniture: the Chilean ones are perfect.
Plus: there are hooks on the wall which are used to hang them when not in use.
Indispensable, the brazier on feet: the good idea to improvise an evening by the fireside when you don’t have a fireplace in the living room!
Indispensable symbol of the bohemian spirit: the hammock. It is installed in a corner, near the planter to take advantage of the freshness brought by the plants.
Even more aerial and also easily removable: the shade sail. Less bulky, it advantageously replaces the parasol.
Two are planned to increase the area of the shaded area, in a black and white duo in harmony with the patterned floor.
A Natural And Graphic Decoration
As for accessories, the large baskets and the homemade blind play on the vegetable fiber card (jute, wicker, bamboo, etc.) and the raw appearance.
For textiles, Chilean canvas and cushions, we stay in the same range of colors: solid ivory and black that we enhance with elegant patterns.
Variable Geometry Lighting
Classic but still useful, we install a wall lamp on the front, preferably above the access door.
We choose it black so that it blends in with the decor.
Some lighting chains type tavern accompany the beautiful curves of shade sails and provide good general lighting.
For auxiliary lighting, we prefer nomadic lamps, perfectly suited to the bohemian spirit of the place.
To suspend or ask it moves and spreads out to the needs of the moment.
