Bohemian Rug Runners

Bohemian Runner Rugs

If you want to turn your home into an eclectic, wanderlust-inspired oasis, a Bohemian runner rug should be on your shopping list. In fact, you might want two or three of them.

Why A Bohemian Runner Rug?

Bohemian style often features eye-catching textiles, brazen patterns, lots of plant light, and plenty of colors. Rugs create the backdrop for your room, pulling your decor elements together, and they can make or break your Bohemian decor.

With the right Bohemian runner rug, your hallways, entryways, kitchen, and any other walkway will carry the same warm, inviting tone that the rest of your home has.

The following ideas are some of the many ways you might use a boho runner rug:

• You can place a boho rug runner in a small kitchen, adding padding and vibrant color to the room's walking space. This also protects your floor from the heavy traffic that's standard in the kitchen for most families.
• You can use a boho hallway runner to tie several rooms of your home together. A hall without a runner is dull, but when you add that Bohemian vibe, it becomes another fun and inviting part of your living space.
• If you favor boho-chic, a vintage Bohemian runner rug might be just what you're looking for. These beauties are often faded with some neutral tones that are less common in boho decor, which softens their effect.

A Closer Look At Bohemian Runner Rugs

The Bohemian interior decorating style surfaced in the late 1960s. It was developed by decorators looking for unconventional style, exploring outside the boundaries of conventional decor rules. Bohemianism itself, however, emerged in France during the 19th century.

Every time you bring a boho runner rug into your residence, or any Bohemian rug for that matter, you're bringing history into your home.

Most Bohemian interiors include:

• Bright colors
• Eclectic accent pieces
• Mismatched, often distressed, furniture
• Heavy use of textiles like drapery and rugs

If you ask someone how to make your home more Bohemian, one of the first pieces of advice you'll receive will likely be "more textiles!" The more, the better.

Is A Boho Runner Rug Right For Me?

The bright colors of Bohemian decor won't fit in every home. For example, a bold boho runner rug might look out of place in a contemporary or minimalist home.

However, if your home is also bright, warm, and colorful, a Bohemian rug is perfect! Especially if you want to transform your space into a boho paradise (or if you already have).

Now, it's time to think about the size. Runners should have approximately 12 inches of space between the edge of the rug and the wall, but if your hall is too small, feel free to break that rule. Just measure the area carefully and choose your rug's dimensions accordingly.

Choosing The Perfect Bohemian Runner Rug

Enter your size requirement into the filter and add any color, material, or thickness preferences to narrow the results. Then save your favorite options to compare. The most crucial part is that you love the runner rug you choose.

Don't forget a quality pad to keep your runner from sliding. The rug pad also adds an extra layer of cushioning.
