The Best Pink Rug Buys

You may have thought that a pink rug was not suitable for every room in your home but there is so much variety available in pink rugs that you would be surprised. It depends on the decor, of course, what color is suitable but you can use a pink area rug anywhere excepting perhaps the garage!

Pink ranges from the palest blush on an almost white rug to the deepest fuchsia with every color in between.

The pastel shades are suitable for romantic style fairy tale bedrooms favored by little girls and great for a baby girl’s dream nursery. They go well with pure white and other pastel shades. A washable pink shag rug made of the softest cotton would work well here and be very practical. When your little princess makes a mess you simply pop your rug in the washing machine and it comes out looking beautiful again!

If you love traditional crafts look for a pale pink braided rug. Hand made braided rugs can be expensive but if your budget does not run to that you will find many of these rugs are also machine made and imported these days which makes them cheaper.

Pink Zebra Rug by JoJo Designs (Click image for more details)As kids get older they tend to prefer a brighter Barbie pink rather than pastels for their rooms. A hot pink rug would be great to liven up neutral flooring and would be sure to delight. You will find hot pink included in rugs with other bright colors if you prefer a dirt camouflaging pattern or you may just prefer a touch of it in a more subtly colored and patterned rug for a pretty and more grown up effect which appeals to those of us past our Barbie stage.

If you prefer a contemporary look you will find pink mixed with other colors in large geometric patterns. You have to find the right color combination of course but whether you want a pink and brown rug or pink mixed with green or blue you are bound to find something suitable. If you want something in particular colors like this you are better to look online than rely on finding something locally. You would probably struggle to find a good match in the limited selection a store is able to stock.

If you have a pure white neutral bathroom you would like to liven up then a pink bath rug makes a great addition. I have seen a large white bathroom made much warmer feeling with the addition of a (washable) pink round rug in the center of the floor, matching bath rug, towels in white baskets and a few pink and pale green accessories.

Brown Rugs - Select Yours

Brown rugs are superb in a natural colored room. Think of a rust colored brown area rug at the center of a living room in cream and fall colors. It just shouts relaxation (if relaxation and shouting can be talked of in the same sentence).

You can get plain brown wool rugs which don’t have much impact alone but they may be just right for your room which has too many other things going on to add another pattern. And you can also easily combine brown with many other colors for a modern approach. Whatever you are looking for you will find it. If you need a pink and brown rug for your color scheme there will be rug for you. If you love the latest aqua blue and brown color schemes there will be an aqua blue brown rug to match, in fact you’ll have many to choose from.

Pink and Brown Accent Rug

Pink and Brown Accent Rug

Brown is a popular color with interior designers and rightly so as it is so versatile. It’s the equivalent of black in the clothes industry. This means you will often find it included in contemporary color schemes. If it’s not there this year, it will be back the next.

Brown itself comes in all kinds of shades from rich dark almost black mahogany through reddish rust to pale beige. Beige of course is the most common color for wall to wall carpeting but a beige area rug can look good too in the right setting and rich beige is often the background for traditional and Chinese rugs too.

If you have a modern home or room scheme and want the most sophisticated of brown contemporary rugs consider something quite special such as a dark brown shag rug made entirely of leather. Tiny thin strips of leather are knotted onto a backing canvas to create a beautiful talking piece for your room.

Brown Leather Shag Rug

You’ll also find these brown shag rugs in suede which provide a fantastic texture you just want to run your hands through. Of course these rugs are not cheap but in terms of the impact they create they are well worth the cost.

If you are going to get a brown rug then it needs to be thr right one for your room. You may need something to create softness and comfort like a faux fur rug or something to add sophistication like a leather rug. Just don’t make it an “anything will do” rug when you can do so much better!
