Large Black Rugs

Why A Large Black Rug?

So, you're looking for a large black rug for your home? Perfect! With thousands of options, we have something for every room.

Many professional interior decorators believe that no place is complete without a touch of black. This grounding, neutral color has a way of bringing a room to life by providing a solid background for the rest of your décor. And a large black rug is a fashionable way to add a splash of it to your existing style.

Large grey rugs can have the same impact and are often used interchangeably with black rugs. This is particularly true in pieces that feature a blend of grey and black.

The ideas below draw from ways that you might use large black rugs in your home. Check them out to find inspiration for your upcoming purchase:

• You can use large black area rugs in dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms of contemporary, lodge, and traditional homes, among other styles. Selecting a rug with a faded pattern or another attractive characteristic softens the effect slightly, helping the rug blend in.

• You might see large black and white area rugs in traditional or modern homes, most often in the dining area or an out-of-the-way nook. These beauties pack a punch with the lively contrast of black and white, instantly drawing the eye.

Is A Large Black Rug Right For Me?

Before you purchase your new large black rug, consider size and color carefully. Below, you'll find some tips that will help you ensure that this is the right décor option for your home:

• Color: Black is an excellent décor option for most households, but spend some time examining your color palette first. An app can make this process easy, and it'll help you identify any complementing colors you'd like to include in your rug.
• Size: Measure your space carefully and subtract between 2 and 4 feet from the room's dimensions. This is the ideal size for your rug. Subtract 4 feet instead of 2 if you have more room and would like extra space between the edges of your rug and the wall.
