How a Teal Area Rug 6x9 Can Highlight Your Room Decor

A teal area rug 6x9 can highlight your room’s decor by serving as the basis for the room’s color scheme or an unexpected pop of color. The rug’s palette and design can be reflected in the other decor around the room, such as in the wall art, pillows, poufs, and other decorative elements. 

Decorating with a Teal Area Rug 6x9

When you’re decorating with a teal area rug 6x9, you can rest assured that you can find a rug that fits into any interior design style. Teal is a popular color in styles like boho and contemporary design, but you’ll also find shades of teal in just about any other style. You can use the rug as the basis for the room’s style, or you can use it to tie different styles together. How you go about that can vary from situation to situation, so continue reading for some ideas on blending styles. 

Choosing which Teal Area Rug is Right for You

There are many options out there for teal area rugs 6x9, but to help you narrow down your search, think through some of these topics. 

Position: One of your first steps in rug shopping should be to decide on the room’s layout and how the rug fits into that. There are no set rules for rug placement, so take the following as guidelines and ideas versus hard-set rules. 

• Living Rooms: With a 6x9 teal area rug, you will likely center it with your main furniture. Depending on how that area is spread out, you may place the front two legs of the furniture on the rug, or you can have the rug sit entirely in front of the seats. 
• Dining Room: If you have a small dining room table, you can center it atop the rug. Just be sure that there’s enough room on the sides and end for the chairs to sit comfortably whether they’re pushed in or pulled out. 
• Bedroom: If you have a twin bed, you can center a teal rug 6x9 under the bed. One avenue is to have it all the way under the bed, but you can also place it under the bottom two-thirds of the bed and have it extend further into the room. Or, if you have a bed off to one side of the bedroom, you can still center a 6x9 teal rug in the middle of the room itself. 
• Kitchen: In more open kitchens, you can place a 6x9 teal rug in the center of the room to serve as a nice focal point. 
• Entryway: Depending on the size of your foyer or entryway, a 6x9 teal rug can be a natural focal point in the middle of the room. 
• Outdoors: Your teal area rug 6x9 can also fit in your outdoor spaces! Just think about the layout ideas for similar indoor spaces when planning your outdoor layout. 

Shape: Rectangular 6x9 teal rugs may be the first thing your mind goes to, but these rugs are also available in oval shapes or other options. Being deliberate with the shape you choose can help define the space and is a handy technique in oddly shaped rooms and standard rooms alike. 

Pattern: Teal area rugs 6x9 are available in many different patterns, since they’re prominent in a ton of interior design styles. The best thing you can do in selecting a pattern is to research your favorite interior design style and look at how it employs shapes, lines, and patterns. Plus, the complexity of the pattern and its overall composition play a big role in setting the tone, so choose a pattern that creates whatever mood you want. For example, Oriental and Persian patterns tend to be more lofty in design compared to geometric and aztec patterns that are seen in modern and boho design. 

Color: Just like pattern, color is essential in setting the tone and style. The more vibrant the colors, the more youthful the rug’s tone can be. Teal rugs are often composed of blue, whites, and other hues, but how they’re blended together varies from rug to rug. The overall color palette of the rug and its vibrancy both impact the rug’s tone. Plus, blending a popular color scheme with a distinct pattern can help blend styles. For example, a muted, distressed teal rug 6x9 in an Oriental pattern can create a homey yet elegant style. Study your favorite style, choose a color scheme that creates your desired mood, and create your ideal home.

Shop for sizes similar to 6x9 teal rugs such as 6x11, 6x8, 6x10, 7x9, and 7x8.
