Moroccan rugs are a boho-style classic.

As a bonus, a black-and-white patterned rug looks lovely when paired with colorful fabrics.

4.Mixed Textiles

We see a lot of modern boho-style spaces with solely contemporary furnishings, but don’t feel wary about introducing vintage or antique pieces, too.

Blogger Erin Spain’s vintage card catalog is an eye-catching piece that looks extra lovely styled with traditional boho design accents.

11.Colorful Mix

Pin Deeply Southern Home

Blogger Leslie Davis of Deeply Southern Home installed a beautiful beaded chandelier in her boho-style living room that doubles as a piece of art.

15.Wicker Accents

Pin Liz Caan & Co.

Wicker ottomans don’t have to purely lean coastal; they’re excellent choices for boho-style spaces, too, like this living room from Liz Caan & Co..

Stash them away under an entryway console and then pull them out when it’s time to entertain.

16.Added Storage

Pin Lavender Julep

Blogger Julie Garel of Lavender Julep masterfully decorated her living room with boho design touches while making the most of storage possibilities.

If you’re hesitant to add a ton of color to your living space, start with a bold rug for major impact.
