Choosing Bohemian Rugs For Your Home

No matter how big or grand your house is, it becomes a home only with your personal touch. Be it the colors you choose for your rooms, the little green corner, the family wall or the rug-accented floor, everything about your house must convey your style, taste, and class.

Like the mix-and-match trends in clothing and jewelry, the world of home décor has also opened its arms to smart experiments and versatility. For example, a suave and sophisticated living space can perfectly make room for Bohemian rugs. Or a psychedelic rug can become the accent piece of an otherwise empty wall. In fact, these rugs serve the aesthetics and the functionality alike, provided that you know what to use and where. Check out these amazing ways of using rugs that would immediately increase the style quotient of your house.

Living Room

Create a focal area in the living room with an interestingly patterned rug. You can go for an ultra-luxe rug keeping in mind the accent color you would want in your living room. It would be great if you paint a wall in the focus area in a color that matches the rug’s accent color. Likewise, you can choose furniture that offers an aesthetic contrast to chosen colour scheme. You might want to use the rug’s accent hue for the cushions.

Foyer

Long, rectangular rugs in the foyers are a common sight these days. How about a mural rug on the walls your foyer too? Imagine stepping on a muted-toned rug in the foyer and then treating your eyes to the sight of an astounding, colourful Bohemian rug on one of the walls! Breathtaking, isn’t it? Foyers play a major role in creating the first impression of a house’s interior décor. So, you need to hunt for that one glorious piece of wall mural rug that would create a lasting impression on your guests.

Dining Space

Worried that your old dining chairs aren’t going well with your new studio apartment? Nope, you don’t have to dump those chairs for a new set. Just buy those plush and stylish feather rugs in a muted and an accent color and drape them in an informal fashion in alternate colors over the chair seats. Your not-so-pretty dining chairs are good to make the heads turn. In case of a studio apartment, you can always opt for two sets of rugs to demarcate the living area from the dining space.

Bedroom

Are you in love with your minimalist bedroom and yet desire a little splash of colors? Or do you dream of an Indian-styled regal bedroom décor? Either way, a brightly hued, flat-weaved rug with fringes would do the magic. Cover the platform bed with this colorful rug and see your minimalist bedroom come alive. You can also use the rug as a bed cover for an exquisite four-poster Indian bed to give your bedroom a regal appeal.

Reading Corner

A reading corner must look warm and feel cozy. For that, you first need to choose a window that receives lots of sunlight. Create a little corner by spreading a flat-weave rug with muted pattern on the floor. Top it up with a smaller and round-shaped feather rug and place a comfy bean couch and a small table with a pot plant at the window corner. You can also choose to drape the couch with a flat weave rug. Make sure that it complements the color pattern of the floor rug. Next, all you need is a mug of coffee and your favorite book. Ah!

Kitchen

Long, running rugs often dictate the kitchen. You can break from the beaten track by opting for twin rugs of smaller size for your kitchen. Place them in line, a couple of inches apart from each other.

Kitchen walls and cabinets are usually painted in warm hues. Rugs that are a bit on the brighter side would work well to jazz up the overall mood of your kitchen. Opt for muted rug patterns. Since your kitchen is a high-activity area with constant possibilities of spills and stains, you must choose rugs that are easily washable. The coarse and cozy rag rugs are the best options for kitchen spaces.

Bathroom

Bathroom mats are boring, to say the least. How about trying out rugs, instead? A bathroom is usually painted in nude tones and accented with contemporary bath fittings. Throw in a splash of colors with rug mats, especially ones made from natural fibers like jute, sisal or bamboo. Hide rugs will work well too. You can freely play with immoderate patterns and colors. Go for intricately patterned rugs in deeper accent tones like mauve, brick red, emerald green, brown, etc. And yes, vintage rugs could also spruce up the minimalist setup of your bathroom.
