You know that a house is not a home without a red rug, so you’re thinking of introducing one into your space. Well not before time. Red rugs are so totally versatile, they will nestle comfortably in any space in any home and defy anyone not to have something complimentary to say about the fabulous impact they make.
Take a space that’s been decorated in white or some other neutral palette. Some say that it’s the latest trend and that pale is interesting. Some just call it bland. But hey, whatever the opinion, throw a smart red rug in there, plain or patterned, and what do you get? A stunning accent in an instant that creates a focal point, and can single-handedly tease out gentle shades of ivory, blond, romantic creams or any other neutral decor combination it meets, to stunning effect. The red rug has dressed up your space.
Of course there is no denying that red rugs are show offs with a liking for razzle dazzle and drama. Everyone loves them and they stand out, allowing you to be creative and to add some theatrical flair to set off your decor and furnishings alongside them if you choose. They offer great options for your room schemes: team red rugs with red sofas and walls of similar and contrasting shades for dramatic effect; set off sparks in the bedroom by teaming hot red and black rugs with red or black satin or silk bedlinen. Pure electricity. Accessorise your modern rugs with a mix of cherry red, raspberry, plum or other brightly coloured cushions and lamps for added vibrancy; place traditional red wool rugs on dark wood floors or with dark furniture for elegant appeal; select rug patterns in vivid jewel shades for an ethnic inspired feel.
Red rugs with deep, earthy tones bring a sense of warmth and seasonal welcome to a room. Opt for thick pile and luxurious textures. For a festive touch, indulge yourself by contrasting red rugs with decor accessories in rich greens and gold. Magical. So now you’re planning to introduce a red rug into your home and you’re asking why it took you so long!
