Bohemian Bath Area Rugs

How a Bohemian Bath Area Rug Can Highlight Your Room Decor

A boho bath rug can highlight your room’s decor by contributing to the room’s style, color palette, and tone. Since that bathroom has many fixtures locked in place, adding in a bohemian bath area rug is a perfect way to personalize your space and connect to the fixtures, wall art, shower curtains, and other decor you have around the room.

Decorating With a Bohemian Bath Area Rug

Boho style as a whole branches out in several different directions. Original bohemian style often highlights bright colors and engaging patterns, but more modern boho bath rugs will showcase a more subdued color palette. There are plenty of other choices to choose from for bohemian bath area rug styles, so no matter which way you lean, there’s a rug out there that’s perfect for you. 

Choosing Which Bohemian Bath Area Rug is Right for You

To help you find your perfect boho bath rug, consider these key areas. 

Position: First, look at your bathroom to see where you can add a rug for both practical and style purposes. Each bathroom is unique, but there are some standard ways that you can take inspiration from. 

2x3’s and 3x5’s: When it comes to small bathrooms, you can place a 2x3 or 3x5 rug in front of your sink. Also, if you have a tub or shower, you can place a small bohemian bath rug right next to those spaces. 

Vanities: If you happen to have a double vanity, you have a great opportunity to place a bohemian bath runner rug in front of the vanity. However, if you want to differentiate two areas of the double vanity, you can go back to 2x3/3x5 rugs in front of each individual sink. 

Large Areas: In bathrooms that have an open floor plan, center your bohemian bath area rug in the middle of the room. Common sizes for bathroom area rugs include 4x6 and 5x8 rugs, but be sure to measure your space to see what size you need. 

Size/Shape: Once you know your ideal layout, it’s time to finalize the size and shape of the rug. The sizes listed above are good recommendations, but since every bathroom is unique, don’t be afraid to take out the measuring tape and evaluate your space. Depending on your room’s footprint, you may want to consider a different shaped rug. Rectangular and runner rugs are popular for bohemian bath area rugs, but these rugs are also available as round, square, and other shapes. 

Pattern: When you’re looking for a pattern, consider the other decor you have in the room and how that pattern has similar shapes/motifs to the other decor. Plus, look at how busy your bathroom is. If you already have other detailed pieces in the room, you may want to minimize the pattern on your rug. However, the opposite can also apply. If you have simple, minimal decor elsewhere in the room, then you can choose a rug that has a more detailed pattern. It’s all about balance. 

Color: Aside from the rug’s pattern, the color palette is another key part of deciding a rug’s style. Traditional bohemian bath area rugs will use bright, vibrant colors like red, teal, and orange, but modern boho bath rugs tend to use more muted or faded colors. Black and white are two neutral colors that can create a dramatic contrast and stunning style, but really, you can look for black and white rugs that are subdued as well. Decide what tone you want to strike and find a rug with a palette that reinforces that tone.
