Choosing Which 6x9 Bohemian Rug is Right for You

Because there are so many options out there for 6x9 boho rugs, you may be wondering how to even begin your search. Fortunately, if you think through these key areas, you can shop with confidence and find your ideal rug. 

Position: Early on, it’s vital to think through the room’s layout and how your 6x9 bohemian rug will fit into it. There are no hard-set rules, but there are some common layouts that can get you started. 

Living Room: 6x9 bohemian rugs can be the perfect addition to small and medium living rooms. It’s common to center the rug with the main furniture and have it either completely in front of the furniture or under their front two legs. However, if you have a large living room, you can even layer a 6x9 boho rug on top of another rug for added style!

Bedroom: Whether you’re decorating for a child, teen, or yourself, you can center a 6x9 boho rug at the foot of the bed with some overlap, or you can place the rug right beside the bed if the bed is off to one side of the bedroom. 

Office: Because of their medium size, 6x9 bohemian rugs can be a great fit in an office space, whether that’s under your desk or a seating area you have set up for guests. 

Outdoors: You can carry your style outside with 6x9 bohemian outdoor rugs! For placement ideas, look to similar indoor spaces for inspiration. 

Shape: Once you have a layout in mind, it’s time to think about the rug’s shape. Rectangular is a common option for this size, but oval options are available too. Think about which shape works best in your ideal layout and best fits that room’s floor plan. 

Pattern: Modern boho and traditional boho sometimes focus on different patterns. Traditional boho patterns will focus on oriential designs or medallions that are reminiscent of far-away lands. Modern boho rugs tend to be simpler with basic geometric shapes and cleaner designs. There’s no right or wrong version of boho, so depending on which way you lean, choose a 6x9 bohemian rug that has a pattern that best with either modern or traditional boho (or leans into another style that you’re blending with boho). 

Color: Another key difference between modern and traditional bohemian style is the color palette. Original 6x9 bohemian rugs tended to use bright, vibrant colors like orange, teal, and blue. Modern rugs may use the same colors, but they may be more subdued or distressed. Otherwise, neutral tones are commonplace with modern design. Choose a palette that fits with your other decor and conveys your desired tone to create your perfect boho-inspired room.
