If you’ve been following along, you know that we’ve been working on building built-in mudroom lockers in our laundry room for months.

It was a huge DIY project and I’m happy to say we’re finallllllly done! Check out the reveal & the full step-by-step tutorial of the DIY mudroom lockers here!

The finishing touch to the lockers (and usually the finishing touch in every room in my opinion) was adding a rug.

Specifically for this space, it called for a runner rug, which is a long narrow shaped rug. And I knew I wanted something in the modern boho style.

What is Modern Boho Home Style?

You may be wondering “well, what in the heck is modern boho?” The modern boho style is also referred to as urban boho or boho chic.

First of all, here’s some background. “Boho” is short of bohemian, which refers to the “free spirit” generation of gypsies and hippy culture of the ’50s-’70s. Traditionally, the boho home decor style featured macrame, rattan, brightly colored textiles, and was very eclectic.

There’s been a big resurgence of the boho style and it’s taken a modern twist. We are now seeing elements of the boho home decor style stick around with the vintage-looking prints and patterns, global accents, and casual, laid-back style. The modern twist on the “modern boho” style is to pair it with sleek lines, modern furniture, a more muted color palette, and even geometric patterns.

Why I love the modern boho style for our home

In our home, I’ve been finding myself drawn to the modern boho style more and more…which I think is reflected in our master bedroom reveal especially.

I love mixing the modern and boho styles because it gives me the freedom to bring in more modern elements without making my home feel too contemporary.

So when it came time to choose the rug to pair with our DIY mudroom lockers, it only made sense to bring in a modern boho runner rug! I found SO many great options when I went looking – here are some of my favorites!

We went with #4, the Pantaleone Indigo Runner Area Rug. As soon as I saw it, I instantly fell in love with the deep navy color mixed with the green and I knew it would be worked well paired with the dark green painted cabinets.
