Bohemian Style: What It Is & What It Does for Your Home

Envision a space that feels lived-in, well-loved, warm, and inviting. It is full of eye-catching pieces, starting with the vibrant rug on the floor, moving to the pieced-together eclectic furniture, and finishing with accents that look like they’ve been lovingly curated and gathered over time. This is Bohemian style. Bohemian decor has been popular for centuries. It is an evergreen design choice that weathers the passage of time. Not only that, this styling looks both new and old simultaneously, and nowhere is more evident than rugs for Bohemian interiors. 

Wait, are we talking about Bohemian Rhapsody?”

While this song is excellent, we are not referring to Queen today! Instead, we thought we’d start by depicting this distinctive design style. Also called boho or boho-chic, Bohemian decor is characterized by blending the old and new. It’s embodied in the famous Queen song as they used multiple genres of music and combined them with 70s rock.

Likewise, Bohemian interiors can embrace eclectic styling and colors by incorporating a corresponding rug.

Vibrant Colors and Powerful Textures

Another key hallmark of the Bohemian style is color and texture. Rugs are the perfect place for unique patterns and color choices. While minimalism is another popular design choice, it is far from the technical definition of Bohemian. Instead, Bohemian is a mashup of colors, textures, emotions, memories, and more. 

Let’s focus on one of those for a moment. The texture is king in this design style. Rugs with a high pile like shag are another excellent addition to a bohemian space as they add visual interest to the room.

The Rule is That There Are No Rules

When it comes to rugs for Bohemian interiors, there are no rules! This means no two rooms will be exactly alike, and your space will be your own. Again, it’s the melding of multiple styles like Queen used in their song, only in decorative form. 

While some styles and patterns are more easily recognized as boho or eclectic, the very definition of this design style is to create a space full of varying patterns, colors, and cultures. This is why Bohemian interiors often throw the rules out the window, as anything goes when done the right way. 

All Natural Fibers

Rugs made of natural fibers like sisal and wool are great additions to any boho space. The more vintage or well-worn the fiber looks, the more it will highlight this aesthetic. Consider using an antique rug or an Oushak Rug as the basis for your beautifully Bohemian family room or master bedroom. And don’t forget your outdoor spaces when incorporating this style into your home!
