Blue Washable Rugs

How a Blue Washable Rug can Make your Room Pop

Decorating with a blue washable rug can make your room pop because it can add in a warm texture, new color, and compliment your design style. Plus, choosing a washable blue rug is as stylish as it is practical; these rugs can stand up to the wear and tear of daily life and be washed to keep its charm and beauty.

Decorating with a Blue Washable Rug

When you decorate with a blue washable area rug, you can choose a rug that fits into whatever your design style is. Blue is a versatile color that can show up in any design style based on its vibrance and what colors it’s paired with, so if you’re looking for an accent color for your design style, a blue washable rug may be your perfect choice. 

Choosing which Blue Washable Rug is Right for You

You’ve narrowed down your search to a blue washable rug, but there are several other factors to consider when choosing the ideal rug for your home. 

Position: Aside from choosing which room the rug is going in, you need to decide on the rug’s layout and how it connects to your existing furniture and fixtures. 

• Living Rooms: The most common layouts for rugs in a living room include placing the rug completely beneath the main furniture, under the front two legs of it, or placing it in front of it, like centering it in the middle of a seating area. 
• Dining Room: Your blue washable rug should fit well beneath your dining room table with enough room on the sides and ends for the chairs to sit comfortably atop it. 
• Bedroom: Rectangular machine washable blue rugs are often set completely under the bed or ? of the way under it. However, if your bed is off to the side of the bedroom, you can always place a rug in the center and allow that to be a focal point. 
• Kitchen: Decorating with a washable blue rug in the kitchen makes sense in a lot of ways; you can position a 2x3 blue rug or a washable blue runner rug along pathways. Plus, since this can be a messy area, it really benefits from having a washable rug.
• Bathroom: The bathroom can be similar to the kitchen in that 2x3 washable rugs work well in front of sinks, showers, or baths, but the space can also benefit from a runner if you have a narrow path or double vanity.

Size: The size of your rug is dependent on how it overlaps with your other furniture. For example, in the living room and bedroom, you would likely buy a different sized rug if it’s completely under the furniture as opposed to in front of it. The other factor to consider is scale--that is, making sure everything is balanced and nothing looks over sized or too small. Fortunately, scale is easy to judge by sight, since you can tell if something is out of balance. 

Shape: Blue washable rugs are most commonly found in rectangular shape or round, but square is another option. The shape of your rug can dramatically impact the style and tone of the room, so think about how the shape impacts the room’s mood.

Pattern: Because blue is such a versatile color, you’ll see it available in a ton of different styles and patterns. Some blue washable area rugs even go outside of standard patterns and display artwork and scenery like beach scenes. You can find Oriental and Persian patterns for more traditional and elegant living spaces, but you can also find abstract artwork and geometric patterns for the more modern home. Regardless of what style you’re trying to fit into, there’s a machine washable blue rug out there that fits your needs. 

Shades/Pairings: There’s an abundance of patterns, but there’s also an abundance of different shades of blue and colors that it’s paired with. Bright blues often work in styles like Boho, Southwestern, and Moroccan designs, while faded and muted blues often show up in more traditional spaces. And then the colors they’re paired with vary depending on the pattern and overall style, but you’ll find that just about any color can be paired with blue. So, whether you’re trying to fit into an existing color scheme or create a new one, you can find the perfect rug for you.
