Colour can be truly transformative in home decor. Of all the colours available, blue is one of the most versatile and soothing. It is widely known for its calming and grounding quality, which makes it applicable in a wide range of styles, rooms, and moods. That is why blue tops the lists of contemporary and traditional settings. It does look amazing in its use: area rugs introduce texture and warmth, especially underfoot in any room; and above all, great style that brings personality. So now, you probably find yourself here looking for tips on ways to match different decor with blue area rugs.
Whimsical, beachy, contemporary, or country are just a few of the themes that blue is forever one of those colours to complement a lot of different styles. Blue area rugs can be used to anchor anything in a room, unify tones, and create a source of visual interest. Then there's the soft and muted sky blue; more indigo tones can carry a sense of serenity and sophistication or playfulness with the right shade and pattern. Here are a few decorating tips on using blue area rugs from Rug and Home to bring about various styles in your home.
If you want to bring a coastal style into your home, the Winslow WL4 Sky Rug is perfect. Soft sky-blue tones remind one of the ocean and sky, giving the room a light and airy feel. Coastal decor often features natural materials, white or neutral furniture, and nautical accents, so pairing this rug with elements like driftwood, wicker baskets, and linen upholstery creates a harmonious look.
This could be incorporated with white or cream accents to bring the airiness out of the Winslow rug. Other shades of blue can then be given throughout the room, such as deeper navy or teal, which would help add depth to the room. Finally, with seashell or coral decor and soft lighting, there will be a beachy getaway at home.
A very eclectic bohemian crowd will fall in love with the Gala 81275INM Indigo/Multi Rug. When you opt for bohemian style go out with the textures and colour layers, just try including bright, colorful throws, patterned pillows, and eclectic wall hangings.
This rug will go really well with distressed or vintage wood furniture because the darker tones of the rug will balance the rustic charm of such pieces. Add greenery and brass accents to enhance the boho vibe, and do not be afraid to mix patterns and key elements of bohemian design. The indigo tones of the Gala rug make it both a grounding element and a focal point in the room.
If your style is modern or minimalist, then the Sedona SN9 Pool Side Rug would be a stylish and sophisticated choice. The cool pool-side blue shade brings about a subtle pop of colour without overwhelming the space and is an excellent option for rooms with a clean and modern aesthetic. Modern decor is minimalist and functional, so this rug would pop against sleek simple furniture in neutral tones, such as gray, white, or black.
This area can be decorated elegantly with metallic accents such as gold or silver, and minimalist artwork in the way of black and white photography or abstract pieces may create visual interest without affecting the room's tranquility. A few carefully placed elements of decor, for instance, a glass vase or sculptural piece will enhance the total beauty of the place.
Soft blues can be paired with the rustic look by a farmhouse style with a Winslow WL4 Sky Rug, adding subtle colours rather than highlighting any of the rugged or earthy features of this kind of rustic design, complete with natural wood tones on shiplap walls with some vintage decor. Softly textured fabrics and warm-wood furniture can bring coziness to your room.
This decor style is often seen with plaid or striped patterns, which can be added to minor details such as throw pillows and blankets to give it the farmhouse feel. Complete with distressed furniture pieces, including a weathered coffee table or reclaimed wood shelving, and add some old books or lanterns as a vintage accent to get the nostalgic feel.
If you want an additional dimension of a fresh look in any of the above styles, layer a contrasting-colored or contrasting-texture rug over the top of the blue area rug. For instance, it may mean setting a small patterned rug on top of a solid blue area rug. This is excellent for large living rooms or open-concept spaces where you may want to define separate areas while still wanting to have a cohesive look.
Blue area rugs, including such pieces as the Gala 81275INM Indigo/Multi Rug, the Winslow WL4 Sky Rug, and the Sedona SN9 Pool Side Rug from Rug and Home, are wonderful add-ins that bring colours in style without the hassle. They harmonize perfectly with any coastal or bohemian décor and any modern or rustic and help maintain the consistent feel in the room. When choosing your blue area rug, consider the shade of blue, along with textures, patterns, and accents that will best complement your decor style and create a space that feels both stylish and uniquely yours.
