Blue Rug Runners

Why A Blue Runner Rug?

Runners are the unsung hero of the rug world. They are very versatile, fitting in hallways, bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens and mudrooms. They are an inexpensive way to add softness, texture and color to a small space. Not to mention, they help with noise reduction and protect flooring from scuffs, scratches, dirt, and spills.

A Closer Look At The Blue Runner Rug

One of the most popular colors for a runner is blue. Blue is a calming color and is associated with depth and stability. Blue can be soothing and grounding or energetic and fun depending the color blue is paired with.

• A navy blue runner rug is a popular choice. Navy blue symbolizes confidence and unity. A navy blue runner rug looks great in a nautical-themed bathroom, living room or kids bedroom. It's also a good choice for high traffic areas as the dark blue will hide dirt and wear.
• A blue striped runner rug is a fun choice for the kitchen or laundry room. Blue and white give the room a clean feel (which is always appreciated) without being too heavy. If the stripes are narrow, the rug is more subtle. However, wide stripes make a vivid statement in a space. Consider your room style and colors to determine what type of blue striped runner rug will compliment your space.
• Blue rugs accented with other colors can be a nice way to add additional complimentary colors to your room. A blue and green runner rug will maintain a soothing vibe in a space. In the bathroom, blue and green can create a spa-like feel. On the other hand, blue and orange runner rugs will add some drama and energy to a space. For example, a blue and orange runner would be a great choice for a hallway to add some personality and bright up a sometimes boring space. Consider the overall aesthetic of the room you're designing to determine what colors would pair best with blue. And don't be afraid to make a statement with your rug!
• An outdoor blue runner is perfect for an outdoor retreat. Place a blue outdoor runner rug in front of your sliding glass door to catch dirt and provide an easy transition from indoors to outdoors. Or, a blue outdoor runner rug is a great choice for high traffic areas inside the house. If your entryway or mudroom get a lot of foot traffic, an outdoor runner is a great option for the space. Indoor outdoor rugs are made to be extra durable and to stand up to sunlight, dirt and moisture.

Is A Blue Runner Rug Right For Me?

When purchasing your rug, consider rug care. Outdoor indoor rugs are easy to maintain as you can simply spray it down with the hose and hang it to dry. If you have a space that gets less traffic, you can opt for a fluffy shag rug.

Also, look at your existing room colors to see what shade of blue will be the best for your space--blue runners range from light pastels to dark navy and everything in between.
