Blue Wool Rugs

A blue wool rug is so soft and luxurious that it has the power to transform entire homes. What do you think? Is it time to take your space from boring to amazing and let your inner interior decorator shine?

Why a Blue Wool Rug?

A blue wool rug is a classic choice that’s hard to go wrong with. You’ll find blue wool area rugs in homes around the world, and with hundreds of options, it’s easy to see why they’re so popular.

Interior designers use blue wool rugs in almost every room of the house with excellent results. The following examples might inspire your next decorating project:

• A teal blue wool rug layered on top of a sisal rug in the living room of a nautical-themed home to add some color and softness.
• A blue striped wool rug runner in a country kitchen to accent the vintage décor and brighten the space.
• A dark blue wool rug in a neutral-colored dining room, underneath a dining table, to make the space feel more inviting and fun.

With countless possibilities—especially if you start layering your rugs—you can count on a blue wool rug being a beautiful addition to your home.

A Closer Look at Blue Wool Rugs

Wool is one of the oldest known rug weaving materials, likely outdated only by plant fiber rugs, and it takes to colors like blue particularly well. Interior decorators favor these rugs not just for their luxurious feel, but for the powerful effects of the color.

In Feng Shui and color psychology, blue is associated with:

• Relaxation
• Serenity
• Imagination
• Calming
• Healing
• Happiness
• Harmony
• Sky and Ocean
• Water
• East and Southeast
• Yin Energy

Who doesn't want to bring more relaxation and tranquility into their home? Especially when it's in the form of a soft wool rug that'll feel great underfoot for decades to come.

Is a Blue Wool Rug Right for Me?

While a blue wool area rug is versatile, it’s best to use a color picker tool to be sure you’re making the right choice for your home. This will let you select the right shade and hue of blue to go with your existing décor.

Provided blue works with your existing décor, the only other thing to take into consideration is that wool isn’t an indoor/outdoor material. That means that it may wear out faster if used as a doormat, bathroom rug, or mudroom mat.

The natural wool fibers are easy to clean, however, so don’t worry too much. Wool can handle medium- and low-traffic zones.

The only other critical element is size. The following chart will help you pick the right dimensions for your rug:

• Room: 5’ x 7’ – Rug: 3’ x 5’
• Room: 7’ x 10’ – Rug: 5’ x 8’
• Room: 10’ x 12’ – Rug: 8’ x 10’
• Room: 11’ x 14’ – Rug: 9’ x 12’
• Room: 14’ x 17’ – Rug: 12’ x 15’

For round rugs, use the smaller rug dimension and add up to 1 ft to make sure the rug isn’t too small.

Choosing the Perfect Blue Wool Rug

Enter your rug size into the filters to start browsing rugs that would work in your home. From there, it’s up to you to look for styles and designs that’ll make sure you love your blue wool rug.

Don't forget to add a pad to the rug so it doesn't slide and will have an extra cushion.
