Laundry Room Rug Runner

Why A Laundry Room Rug Runner?

A beautiful, fun laundry room rug runner can put the finishing touch on your home's decor. And it'll give the often-neglected space a bit of personality.

Rugs are used to set the mood for each room, bringing together the area's decor and adding a backdrop that subconsciously impacts anyone in the space. Laundry rooms are typically decorated to be bright, clean, and uplifting, especially since they don't often get a lot of sunlight.

As you shop for your laundry room rug runner, you'll notice bright, natural, and nautical designs are dominating the results. These styles are easy to decorate with in almost any home.

The following ideas draw inspiration from how a professional interior decorator might use a laundry rug runner in a home:

• The braided laundry room rug runner is one of the most popular choices. This attractive option adds texture and a hint of nature to the room's decor, and it makes the flooring much softer to walk and stand on.
• You might select a laundry rug runner that matches runners throughout the rest of the house. This unites the home's overall decor, making the laundry room feel just as inviting and warm as the rest of the residence.
• In some cases, a decorator won't use a rug runner for laundry room decor but instead a vinyl floor cloth. These versatile pieces allow the space to be kept clean, with a traditional tiled appearance.

A Closer Look At Laundry Room Rugs

Laundry room runner rugs are used to protect the floor from moisture and soil while making the surface more comfortable. They also set the decor tone and bring energy into the room.

If your laundry room sees a lot of traffic and dirt, consider selecting an indoor/outdoor style. Indoor/outdoor rugs are popular in laundry rooms because they're made to stand up to the elements.

Is A Laundry Room Rug Runner Right For Me?

Unless your laundry room already has carpeting (and even then), there's no reason not to buy a runner for your laundry room. All you need to do is consider color, style, and size.

The following tips will help:

• Color: Using a tool that lets you examine your home's decor on a color wheel will upgrade your interior decorating skills. Compare existing colors in your laundry room with potential rug colors to find the right range to look for.
• Style: Most homes can be matched with a style, so find the one that your home is most like. This will give you a style guideline to decorate with if you don't want to go with a traditional option like coastal.
• Size: Measure your laundry room's open floor space and subtract two feet from each dimension. This will show you the best size for the rug.

Choosing The Perfect Laundry Room Rug Runner

Enter your color, style, and size preferences in the filters to look at the rugs that would work best in your home. Then compare your favorites to find the right choice for your laundry room.

Remember to buy a quality pad during checkout! A pad will keep your rug from sliding and give it an extra layer of cushioning.
