Boho Rugs for the Kitchen: What Works and Why
Share
We make 11 boho designs we would put in a kitchen. This is why the combination works, and what to get right.
How boho behaves on a floor
Layered pattern from several traditions at once. It works in rooms that are already collected rather than matched, and fights with rooms that are strictly co-ordinated.
What a kitchen asks of a rug
A runner down the working side, or a mat at the sink. Low pile for chairs and doors. Oil is the stain to move quickly on.
Why the two suit each other
Put a boho design in a kitchen and the space reads as collected rather than bought in one go. Layered, eclectic pattern with a relaxed hand. Wipe-clean comfort underfoot at the counter.
The colours available in this combination
Across these 11 designs you will find orange & terracotta, red & burgundy, blue & navy, pink & fuchsia and lilac & purple. They are drawn from 9 separate design sources — Santorini, Amalfi, Essaouira, Medina, Wanderer, Jaipur, Goa and Fez and others — each with its own origin.
