White Living Room Rugs

Did you know that a white living room rug can transform your space from boring to extraordinary? At least, it can when you know how to use one!

Why A White Living Room Rug?

White living room rugs are trendy right now in several decor styles. From urban to shabby chic, you can find variations in an array of homes around the world.

You'll likely want to look for a white living room area rug that'll be large enough for your seating area. This helps make your living room appear larger and more welcoming, even if you're pressed for extra space.

If you don't want a white living room area rug and are instead looking for a smaller size, you can put a small white rug under your coffee table or in a designated reading nook.

A Closer Look At White Living Room Rugs

White is a classic color that is commonly used as a staple in each room by interior designers. It is powerful and striking, and it can make other colors pop. Surprisingly, it's also a versatile neutral color with hundreds of variations, and that's part of why it works so well on living room rugs.

If you decorate using Feng Shui principles, white will add vibrant energy to your other colors. You don't want your living room to be covered in neutral tones, but you can use something like a white fur rug for living room comfort.

White brings the following qualities to your living room:

• Soothing
• Calming
• Clean
• Crisp
• Controlled
• Beautiful
• Quiet
• Assured

You'll likely want to place your white rug in an area of your living room that doesn't get much traffic. Even if you choose a thin rug instead of a plush or fluffy one, the white can quickly show wear in high-traffic zones.

White rugs are popular in the living room because they also demonstrate that you keep your home clean. This makes an excellent first impression on guests.

Is A White Living Room Rug Right For Me?

Most home decor styles will work well with a white rug in the living room because it's a neutral color that goes with anything. However, you also want to consider your lifestyle.

You might want to pick a different color if:

• You have pets that go outside regularly.
• You have young children prone to making messes.
• You live in a muddy or dusty area that makes it hard to keep the home clean.

In short, it's all about keeping it tidy. White quickly shows dirt and can lose its appeal when it no longer looks clean. However, white rugs with stripes, a faded vintage look or other patterns can help disguise some signs of wear. You can also choose white rugs mixed with other neutral hues like gray, blue or black to make a design statement and help with overall maintenance of the rug.

Remember to clean up all spills and messes immediately to minimize the likelihood of stains. You might also want to invest in a spot rug cleaner if the material you select can handle this method of care.

Don't be intimidated by keeping a white rug washed. For most households"?even those with a pet or two"?the maintenance doesn't take much time and is worth the design impact.

Use the size, material, shape, and thickness filters to pick the perfect white rug for your living room. Remember to measure your space carefully to make sure you're getting the right size rug for your space.
