Pink and Gold Rugs

How a Pink and Gold Rug Can Highlight Your Room Decor

A pink and gold rug can highlight your room’s decor by reinforcing the room’s color palette, establishing the tone, and fitting into your favorite interior design style. The right rug will actually accentuate your room’s decor, because when each piece is working towards the same goal, each decoration can shine as a larger piece of the puzzle.

Decorating With a Pink and Gold Rug

When you’re decorating with a pink and gold rug, you don’t have to limit yourself to one particular style. The shades of pink and gold, what other colors are in the rug, what pattern they're in, and the overall finish of the rug are all big factors in determining a rug’s style. With so many options out there to choose from, you can find a pink and gold area rug that perfectly expresses your style. 

Choosing Which Pink and Gold Rug is Right for You

There are several ways to go about finding a rug, but one of the most efficient and beneficial ways to go about it is to think through these important topics. 

Position: The first step is to decide your room’s layout. Each room is unique in its footprint and furniture, so take these ideas as guidelines to get you started.

Living Room: A pink and gold rug is perfect for establishing your main seating area. Place a rug in the middle of the space by laying the rug in front of the seats, under their front legs, or further beneath them. Another option is to use a smaller rug in a separate area to establish a coffee corner, reading nook, or miscellaneous space.

Dining Room: When you decorate your dining room with a rug, center the rug under the table. Leave about two or three feet of excess on each side so the chairs can be comfortably moved.

Bedroom: To establish a focal point in the bedroom, center your rug under the bed. Depending on the size of the room, you can place the rug all the way under the bed, under the bottom two-thirds of it, or closer to the foot of the bed. If your bed is off to one side, then place a rug in the middle of the room or right along the side of the bed to create visual interest in that space and add comfort/flow. 

Kitchen: 2x3 or 3x5 rugs are perfect for in front of a kitchen sink or stove where you tend to be stationary. Consider a pink and gold runner rug if you have a galley kitchen, a kitchen with an island, or another area where you want to establish a comfortable path. 

Bathroom: Bathrooms also use smaller rugs, but they can be placed in a few different ways. Most commonly, you’ll use 2x3 and 3x5 rugs in front of sinks, tubs, or showers. This is another room where a runner rug can really add dimension to a double vanity or narrow walkway.

Outdoors: Finally, dress up your outdoor spaces with a pink and gold outdoor rug. There are many ways to utilize spaces, but for ideas with outdoor dining and seating, check out similar indoor spaces. 

Shape/Size: The next logical step is to decide on the size and shape of your rug. The easiest shapes to work with are round, rectangular, and runner, but there are other options as well for unique styling or difficult floor plans. As for size, make sure you consider the size of the furniture and room to ensure that the rug won’t be too large or too small in comparison. Keeping everything to scale is vital in ensuring the room feels balanced. 

Pattern: Looking at patterns is one of the most fun and daunting prospects of looking for rugs. You can find patterns that fit into a variety of styles, such as modern abstract designs, geometric prints, nursery/childish designs, and so many more. When it comes to finding your perfect pattern, choose one that goes with the room’s overarching style and uses similar shapes/imagery to the other decor you have in the room. 

Color: Even within pink and gold area rugs, you still have a lot to think about with the color palette. Which colors do you want to be most prominent? What shades of colors are you looking for with your pinks and golds? And finally, what other colors should be included in the rug’s design? These questions will serve to guide you towards finding a color palette that fits in with your room’s style and tone.
