Teal and Grey Rugs

How a Teal and Grey Rug Can Highlight Your Room Decor

A teal and grey area rug can highlight your room’s decor by accentuating the room’s color scheme, fitting the style of the room, and conveying the proper tone. When you intentionally look for similarities between your rug and your other decor, you inadvertently create a space where your decor can shine, because now they’re each a key part of the room’s overarching style and theme.

Decorating With a Teal and Grey Rug

Teal and grey are two colors that appear in a variety of styles. When you’re looking through teal and grey rugs, you’ll find many different patterns, color combinations, and vibrancies of the colors. Both grey and teal can come bright and vibrant or muted and subdued depending on what tone you want to strike. Whatever your stylistic goal is, there’s a teal and grey rug out there that will perfectly suit your needs. 

Choosing Which Teal and Grey Rug is Right for You

As you shop for the rug that’s right for you, consider these key areas. 

Position: First, you should determine your room’s layout and how you will place the rug within that scheme. There are many ways to position a rug, so these ideas are simply guidelines to get you started. 

Living Room: For a tried and true layout, try placing your grey and teal rug with your main seating area. Depending on the size of the living room and furniture, you may set the rug in front of the seats, under their front two legs, or further beneath them. 

Dining Room: The most common layout for dining rooms is to center your rug beneath your table. When you do, leave two-three feet of excess on each side so the chairs can comfortably be pushed in and pulled out. 

Bedroom: If your bed is the main focal point of the bedroom and is centered in the space, line up your rug with the bed and place it either all the way under the bed or under the bottom two-thirds of it. However, if your bed is off to one side, try centering a rug in the middle of the room itself. 

Kitchen: Add style to your kitchen by placing a 2x3 or 3x5 teal and grey rug in front of a sink or stove. In narrow spaces, use a teal and grey runner rug. 

Bathroom: Similar to kitchens, you can place a small rug in front of a sink, but they also work well by the bathroom’s tub or shower. Runners also fit well in front of a double vanity or elsewhere to establish a pathway. 

Outdoors: Finally, teal and grey area rugs are also available as outdoor rugs, so you can design every area of your home. For layout ideas, check out similar indoor spaces. 

Shape/Size: After you have your layout set, it’s time to finalize the shape and size of the rug. When it comes to selecting size, look for a rug that fits in your room without being too large or too small in comparison to the room itself and your furnishings. As for shape, look at what shape fits your layout best and conveys the proper tone. Round, rectangular, and runner are the most common choices, but there are many more shapes to choose from, and each has their own set of perks. 

Pattern: Since grey and teal are common colors in a variety of styles, you’ll find they come in all sorts of patterns. From the ornate, detailed patterns in Persian and oriental rugs to the abstract and simplistic designs associated with modern and contemporary styles, you can find patterns at the ends of the spectrum and anywhere in between. When you’re trying to narrow your search, you can look at your existing decor for inspiration and/or look at examples of other spaces you admire and find a pattern that creates the same look and tone. 

Color: Narrowing your search to teal and grey area rugs is helpful, but you still need to determine which of those two colors you want to be most prominent or if they’ll be equally present. Then, you need to decide how vibrant you want the colors to be. Are you looking for a subdued, traditional color palette, or are you looking for bright and lively colors that add a spark to contemporary spaces? The shades of color and how they’re combined are instrumental in determining the rug’s style, so look at both those aspects very carefully. And if you want to add other colors to your teal and grey rug, look for rugs that incorporate brown, white, blue, or any other color you choose. It’s your room, so design it in whatever way you want!
