The colour red brings images of passion, love and exuberance to mind and to add a strong dash of these qualities to an interior, a sumptuous red rug is a must. Red compliments and enhances so many other colours such as natural greys, creams and beiges and bold blacks, whites and purples. Red also looks wonderful alongside oranges, browns and golds for a real Autumnal feel. These are typical combinations but there are many other ways to use a red rug in the home – whether through the use of highly patterned modern red rugs, bold two tone designs, luxurious shaggy red rugs or a more traditional red rug, the choice comes down to what type of home one has and finding just the right red rug to suit.

A red rug can be used successfully in any room or hallway. It’s the perfect addition to bedrooms that need spicing up and will lift muted design schemes into another plane. Accessorise with red bedding, cushions and curtains and a bedroom instantly becomes a passionate boudoir. Use a red rug in a living room or family room and bring in a lively, warm and dramatic energy. In children’s rooms a well chosen red rug delivers an irresistibly cheerful sense of joie de vivre. And in hallways red runners, give character and interest (especially when patterned).
There are so many different shades of red rug that it’s usually easy to find the right red to go with an existing colour scheme and to create the impression that’s required. Bright, vibrant red rugs look wonderful with other primary colours and also with monochrome styles. Deeper more subdued reds compliment well with earthy tones and neutrals. Maroon is a beautiful shade of red rug that is definitely making a comeback and always looks totally sumptuous. Crimson, scarlet, ruby, burgundy and cherry reds all have their place as well.
Every home really does need at least one red rug to add that much needed splash of colour.
