A Beginner’s guide to blue rugs

Viewing rooms or seeing pictures of rooms with blue rugs can help give you an idea of what you can do with color blue and with blue rugs. Such exposure can be inspiring, but it can also be mortifying if you come across a few rooms that have misused blue rugs or have overused the color. You might even begin to doubt your initial inspiration to decorate with blue rugs. However, just because blue has been abused by some, should not lead you to give up on this magnificent color that nature chose for the sky and for the oceans that cover 71% of the earth’s surface! There are many ways to design chic and stylish rooms with blue rugs and we’ve come through with some ideas for starters.

Resist the Temptation to Over-Match with Blue Rugs

Don’t over match – Patterns, hues, and scales should be full of variety. While matching colors and upholstery can be well done and provide a sense of unity for the room, an untrained hand can get over-zealous. Use a gentle hand and remember, sometimes less is more. 

Try a Coastal Look

If you like beach-inspired decor, use your blue carpet as the starting point for a coastal decorating scheme in your bedroom, living room or dining room. Choose a crisp white shade for the walls – you can even add beadboard wainscoting to give the room a cottage-like feel. Incorporate soft yellow accents with curtains, bedding, or throw pillows to give the space a bright, sunny look. In a nautical design, blue and white stripes are big, so pair your blue carpet with a striped sofa or bedspread. Natural materials also work well in a beach cottage-inspired room, so opt for wooden furniture with a natural finish and throw rugs in natural fibers like jute and seagrass.

Create Crisp Space with Black and white on a Blue Rug

Give traditional rooms a modern look by painting walls white and ceiling a glossy white and using light wood trim. This will create a light and airy contrast against the blue rug.

Create a Contrast

With blue carpeting in a dining room or living room, you might want to go for a bolder look. Pairing the carpet with contrasting shades provides a striking look that will definitely get your guests' attention. Orange is opposite blue on the color wheel, so it's an ideal shade for details such as throw pillows, curtains, or wall art when you want to make your carpet pop. If your carpeting is a light blue, use light shades of peach to highlight the blue. If your carpeting is a deeper blue, you can go with darker or brighter shades, including terra cotta or tangerine. Since the blue and the orange shades will be the focus of the room, keep the rest of the color palette simple with neutral accents of white, tan, and brown.

Try Antique Style Area Rugs

If you love more traditional decor, then try pairing a dark brown sofa with a light blue and brown antique-style rug. A blue and brown color scheme is perfect for creating an understated elegance in your home. Antique-style rugs can also be paired with more contemporary furniture if you’re a fan of transitional decor.

Many antique look rugs are now made from polypropylene, so they are hard-wearing, and will stand up well to heavy foot traffic. This makes them a great choice for busy households.

Take a look at oriental style rugs

A blue Persian-style rug alongside a light wood scale is a great way to create a modern elegant look in your home. Blue and brown compliment each other perfectly, so this color combination will create a well-balanced look for your living room.

Persian-style rugs are timeless and can work with a variety of different decor styles, making them a great choice even if your tastes change frequently.

Keep it Simple with a Navy Blue Area Rug

Navy blue and brown are a match made in heaven, so choosing a rug in a deep navy will always work well alongside wood themes. Solid navy blue rug is a great example of how a navy blue rug can ground the space, helping to create a clear seating zone in your home.

If you choose a solid-colored rug, look out for the different textures available. For a cozy feeling underfoot then look out for rugs with a thicker pile. If you prefer to keep it simple then go for a flatwoven rug which will give you a chic, modern look.
