How to Layer a Modern Boho Living Room
Start with the rug and sofa, then add the softer layers. In this guide, rust, olive and cream cushions give a plain sofa variety, and one throw is enough to carry the rust color down toward the table.
Designer tips
The rug starts the color choices
Take one muted tone from the rug into a cushion, then add a second cover in a plain fabric. Compare them on the sofa before introducing another color.
One obvious pattern at a time
Pair a strong stripe or motif with smaller weaves and plain covers. The contrast in scale lets you see each fabric instead of several equally busy patterns merging together.
A throw with a different surface
If the cushion covers are fairly smooth, try a loose weave or knitted throw. Repeat an existing cushion color so the added layer changes the texture rather than expanding the palette.
