Laid-back and calming, desert decor is a trend we can’t get enough of. A more minimalist version of boho style, modern desert decor takes cues from desert locales like Joshua Tree, Marfa, and Sedona. Think neutral walls, warm and earthy colors, varied textures, natural decor elements, and geometric prints.
To achieve the perfect desert decor style, start with the rug. Reminiscent of the elements and textures found in desert climates, these neutral rugs will create the perfect foundation to transform your home into a relaxing desert escape.
We’ve rounded up seven of our favorites to help you create the look in your own home.
