5x7 Blue Area Rugs

Imagine a new 5x7 modern blue rug sitting in your living room right now. Or your dining room. What do you think?

Why a Blue Area Rug?

Blue area rugs are conventional in homes around the world, in all types of décor styles. They're also available in an array of materials, thicknesses, and shades.

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

• Relaxation
• Serenity
• Calming
• Happiness
• Healing

Interior designers often favor using blue in rugs and décor instead of on walls, because too much blue in a room can be depressing. However, a blue rug and a blue accent wall can make a room feel spa-like and peaceful.

A Closer Look at Blue Area Rugs

Blue area rugs can be used in almost any room of your house. From your bathroom to your living room, they’re versatile and can go with most other colors in a room.

Interior designers love blue because it can cool a room down or brighten its vibe, depending on the shade you select. Pastel blues are the most cooling, and many designers won't place them in a room that doesn't receive much sunlight. Vibrant and deep blues work best for brightening a space.

Is a Blue Area Rug Right for Me?

You can buy blue area rugs in a variety of styles, from oriental to modern, to suit almost any décor style. When you give your purchase thought and attention, anyone can find a blue area rug that’s right for their home.

Use a color picker tool to find the right blue to go with your existing decor and to pick complementing colors you might want to add later.

The most important part about buying 5x7 blue area rugs is that you’ve selected the right size. The following points will help:

• Keep between 6” and 24” of space between the edge of your rug and your walls. If the rug is under a seating area, you also want it to accommodate each chair without causing rocking or tipping issues.
• Some areas might be better served by a 5x8 blue rug instead of 5x7. For example, a 7x10 room would usually call for a 5x8 blue rug. Blue area rugs 5x7 are often used in larger spaces to define a sitting area or dining table.
• Consider layering a 5x7 rug on a larger rug if you are placing it in a living room or outdoor space. Using too small of a rug in a room can make the design seem awkward and out-of-place, no matter how good the rest of your décor is.

You’ll notice that many blue area rugs have patterns in white, grey, and other neutral colors. These provide additional design flexibility and are best when you’re uncertain about adding a large patch of blue to your room.
