A 15x18 area rug can highlight your room’s decor by showing off your personal style, reinforcing the room’s color palette, and setting the proper tone. A rug should never take away from your room’s decor and accents; instead, it should draw attention to them by complementing their aesthetic. With that in mind, you will naturally be drawn towards rugs that round out the room’s design and highlight your decor.
15x18 is a large rug size to work with, but they are ideally suited for plenty of situations. Whether they are used to decorate large rooms at home, open concept spaces, or businesses, 15x18 area rugs are full of potential and fun to decorate with.
As you shop for the best 15x18 area rug for your home, it’s important to consider some key areas.
Position: The first step is to decide where you’d like to place your rug and how it may overlap with the nearby furniture. While each home is unique, these general ideas will give you some guidance and inspiration.
Living Room: Grand, large living rooms can accommodate 15x18 rugs. With rugs of this size, you will likely have at least the front half of the furniture overlap with the rug. In other cases, the rug may rest all the way under the chairs and poke out past the backs of any sofas and chairs.
Dining Room: In general, dining room rugs extend about two feet past the sides and ends of the table. This provides visual balance with the table and rug. However, perhaps you have two medium sized tables to place on the rug. That is one unique layout that can pair well with a 15x18 rug.
Bedroom: 15x18 rugs can fill the majority of the bedroom. Center the rug in the middle of the room itself and be sure that it does not press directly against the walls; if it does, the room is more likely to feel off balance and cramped. You may also choose to center the rug with a key area like a master bed or seating area.
Office: Large home offices can also be filled out with a 15x18 rug. It can be aligned with your desk, a set of built-in cabinets, or a seating area for guests and clients.
Outdoors: 15x18 outdoor rugs are perfect for decks, patios, and other outdoor spaces. They can furnish outdoor seating and dining spaces in similar ways to their indoor counterparts.
Material: After you’ve decided on the rug’s position, it is time to choose your ideal material. Wool is a luxuriously comfortable and durable material, but synthetic options are more readily affordable and comfortable in their own right. Ultimately, the material should be what’s best for your unique space, budget, and desired comfort.
Pattern: 15x18 area rugs are available in many different patterns and designs. Traditional medallion prints, geometric designs, stripes, and other patterns are popular options well-suited for many interior design styles. When choosing a pattern, look at your existing decor and furniture for inspiration. You may even find similar imagery and motifs that can be present in the rug and some of the decorative accents.
Color: Color is a key aspect in deciding your rug’s style and tone. Even neutral colors like black, white, grey, and beige have different tones based on the pattern they’re in and how the colors are combined. Once again, look at your room’s color scheme and style to choose a rug that compliments those colors.
