Depending on the size and color, a decorative rug can be the focal point of a room or a subtle element that pulls a design together. Rug makers offer an incredible variety of patterns, textures, and colors, so you may feel a little overwhelmed at first. Here are a few tips for  choosing a rug that fits into the room as a whole and expresses your unique taste and personality.

How to Select a Rug Color

1. Contrast It With the Floor

For instance, if your floors have a light stain, choose a dark espresso or rich blue to separate the space from the rest of the room. Patterns should also contrast, so select a vibrant design to stand out against subtle, uniform flooring.

2. Introduce Complementary Colors

A decorative rug can also be a great opportunity to introduce other colors to complement the existing design scheme. For example, if you want the brown leather furniture and light brown walls to be the standout features, a decorative rug with pale green or blue elements will give the room some visual texture without drawing too much attention.

3. Consider Foot Traffic

Before choosing a light rug with delicate designs, think about where it’s going to be placed. Are you choosing a decorative rug for an entryway or eating area? Do you have pets? If so, you may want to go with darker colors and materials that are more resistant to stain, rather than a white or cream rug that will need constant cleaning.
