Psychedelic colors, natural motifs, and shaggy textures are what we often imagine when thinking of boho-style rugs — clichés that are both spot on and completely off. To be boho is to be artistic and unusual, which can really mean anything. But you know it when you see it — it's more of a vibe, really. A boho-style rug feels handmade, global, and storied. It doesn't necessarily need to be paired with crystals, sound baths, or Coachella outfits circa 2012 (though I'm all for that too).
‘Layering bohemian or global rugs into interiors adds a timeless and eclectic style that invites both warmth and a historic layer into any space,’ says interior designer Christiane Lemieux. ‘These rugs, often rich in colors and intricate patterns, serve as storytelling pieces that weave cultural histories and artisanal craftsmanship into the fabric of modern homes’. Think luxury yurts in Joshua Tree or the interior of Hotel Chelsea.
