How to Make It: Clean and sweep your patio floor, then layer your kilim rugs overlapping slightly for an authentic, collected-over-time look. Group your leather poufs and floor pillows in a semi-circle around the central hand-carved table. Hang your metal star lantern directly above the center point.
Tips and Variations: For a softer, more neutral bohemian aesthetic, replace jewel-toned kilims and leather with cream-colored Moroccan wedding blankets and textured bouclé floor cushions.
Needs to Make That Thing: Flat-weave kilim rugs, Moroccan leather poufs, velvet floor cushions, hand-carved Moorish wooden table, pierced-metal star lantern, shepherd’s hook.
4. The Bamboo and Palm Frond Tropical Haven Transform a corner of your patio into a humid, lush tropical paradise reminiscent of a Balinese villa. Use a foldable bamboo privacy screen as a natural, textured backdrop to block out the bustling world and create an intimate nook. Set up a low bamboo daybed or a wide chaise lounge topped with water-repellent cushions in crisp white duck cloth. Layer the daybed with tropical-leaf-print lumbar pillows and a lightweight bamboo-fiber throw blanket. Hang delicate, solar-powered fairy lights intertwined with faux or real monstera leaves along the top edge of the bamboo screen to illuminate your evening reading sessions.
