HOW TO: CREATE A BOHEMIAN PATIO IN 5 STEPS

bohemian patio terrazzo howto decor

Summer is for long openair talkings/dinners/drinks/relaxing moments with your beloveds.
So, a Summer relaxing corner is highly needed.
Everything okay, but what if you don't have a garden?
A Summer relaxing corner is not a Summer relaxing corner if it's not openair, and we all
agree about that, but I am here today to show you how to create your own
special place even in the smallest spaces.
If you follow me on Pinterest, you see that I have a LITTLE obession with
boho things, so I opted for a little bohemian corner, where you can enjoy a book,
or a tea (or red wine) with your boyfriend/bestfriend/anyone else.
I set it up on my terrace, but if your home doesn't have it, no worries: you can
set it up in front of that window with the view you like most.
Follow these 5 easy steps and in about 2 minutes (and using what you have yet
at home) you will obtain the perfect corner you will want spend your evening in!

L'Estate è per lunghi momenti all'aria aperta fatti di chiacchiere/cene/drink/relax con chi amiamo.
Dunque, un angolo rilassante in Estate è fortemente necessario.
Fin qui tutto okay, ma cosa si fa se non si ha un giardino?
Un angolo rilassante estivo non è un angolo rilassante estivo se non è all'aperto, e su questo
concordiamo tutte, ma sono qui, oggi, per mostrarvi come creare il vostro
luogo speciale anche negli spazi più ristretti.
Se mi seguite su Pinterest, avrete notato che ho una PICCOLA ossessione per le cose boho,
così ho optato per un piccolo angolo bohemian, dove potete godervi un libro,
o un tè (o del vino rosso) con fidanzato/migliore amica/chiunque vogliate.
Io l'ho allestito sul terrazzo, ma se la vostra casa non ne ha uno, non c'è problema:
preparatelo davanti alla finestra con la vista che preferite.
Seguite questi 5 facili step ed in circa 2 minuti (ed usando ciò che avete già in casa),
otterrete l'angolo perfetto dove vorrete trascorrere la vostra serata!

Ready to start? // Pronte ad iniziare?


 1)
RUG // TAPPETO
A rug is the best way to enjoy a bohemian night, with no tables and chairs, just
chilling with no shoes and thoughts. Choose a light fabric rug, which is good
for hot Summer weather. Use a little rug (as I did) to create a space for one/two persons,
a bigger one if you are planning an aperitif with friends. // Un tappeto è il modo 
migliore per godersi una serata bohemian, senza tavoli nè sedie, semplicemente
rilassandosi senza scarpe o pensieri. Scegliete un tappeto in tessuto leggero, che vada
bene per il clima caldo estivo. Usate un tappeto piccolo (come ho hatto io) per creare
uno spazio per una/due persone, uno più grande se state programmando un aperitivo 
con amici.


 2)
PLANTS // PIANTE
Surround your rug with plants: they will delimit the relaxing space but will give, at the same
time, a fresh breath to your patio. Plants are never enough, so you can overdo! // 
Circondate il vostro tappeto con delle piante: delimiteranno lo spazio per il relax, ma
donando, allo stesso tempo, un fresco respiro al vostro patio. Le piante non sono
mai abbastanza, quindi esagerate pure!


3)
CUSHIONS // CUSCINI
Laying down on a soft cushion while watching your favourite movie will bring
your relax level to the top. Choose lots of cushions for you and your (optional) guests. //
Stare accoccolati su un morbido cuscino, guardando il vostro film preferito,
porterà il vostro livello di relax al top. Scegliete tanti cuscini per voi e i vostri
(se li volete) ospiti.


4)
A LITTLE TABLE // UN TAVOLINO
Just because we want a secure place to leave our glasses on. // Giusto perchè vogliamo
un posto sicuro dove appoggiare i nostri bicchieri.


5)
CANDLES AND DRINKS/FOOD // CANDELE E BEVANDE/CIBO
Candles are perfect to light your night and keep mosquitos away. For the drinks
and food you just need to think what you would enjoy, but don't forget about
some fruits, healthy, refreshing and delicious. // Le candele sono perfette
per illuminare la vostra serata e tenere lontane le zanzare. Per le bevande ed il cibo 
dovete semplicemente scegliere ciò che più vi va, ma non dimenticate della frutta,
sana, rinfrescante e deliziosa.
