Decorating with a 6x9 Washable Area Rug

When you’re decorating with a machine washable 6x9 rug, you’re not limited to one particular style, color scheme, or style. Washable rugs are becoming more and more popular because of how they can stand up to the messes of life and be brought back to their former glory with simple spot cleaning and washing, so you’ll find that there are plenty of designs out there. Whenever you decorate with a 6x9 washable area rug, what’s most important is that it ties to the other pieces in the room stylistically and/or with its color scheme.

Choosing which 6x9 Washable Area is Right for You

Narrowing down your search for your ideal 6x9 machine washable rug may seem daunting at first, but once you think through these topics, you’re well on your way to choosing the right rug for you.

Position: There’s no one right way to do the layout of a room, but here are some general guidelines to help you determine if a 6x9 washable area rug is the right size for you. 

• Living Room: In the living room, rugs are often placed either completely under the furniture, under the front two legs, or resting in front of it. Your rug can also look most natural when it’s centered in the middle of a seating area, such as evenly spaced between two rows of seats or in the middle of a “U” setup. 
• Dining Room: If your dining room is smaller, a 6x9 machine washable rug may be the perfect fit under your table. Just remember that the rug should cover enough space that the chairs can sit comfortably on the rug whether they’re pushed in or pulled out. 
• Bedroom: A machine washable 6x9 area rug could fit perfectly when it’s completely beneath your bed or under the bottom ? of it. Otherwise, if your bed is off center, you can center the rug in the middle of the bedroom and have that be the focal point. 
• Misc: There are plenty of other rooms that would benefit from a 6x9 washable rug, such as playrooms, offices, guest rooms, and lounges. In these rooms, you can do well to center it with the other furniture, such as under the desk, in the middle of a playroom, etc. There’s no one right way to position a rug, so try measuring out a few different placements to see what fits your room.

Thickness: Rugs come in different heights and thickness. You can always add padding underneath your rug as both a grip and extra plushness. Our 6x9 washable area rugs come in flat and low thickness depending on what would benefit your space.

Patterns: Because 6x9 washable area rugs are created in a variety of different styles, you’re bound to find a lot of different patterns out there to choose from. You’ll find many Persian or Oriental patterns that are great for traditional and elegant spaces, but you’ll also find striped 6x9 washable rugs that work in modern rooms and beachy spaces. There are also plenty of patterns out there that fit in with Moroccan styles, Southwestern homes, and of course, farmhouse and traditional decor. 

Colors/Pairings: The pattern you choose is important in establishing the room’s style, but so is the overall color scheme. Many colors like blue, burgundy, brown, green, and others fit in well with many different design styles. The brightness of those colors and how vibrant they are is a big factor in determining what style it falls into. For example, distressed and worn blues and reds may work in rustic and farmhouse homes, while bright blues and reds could work in a Moroccan style or Boho decor. Whatever design style you’re pursuing, think about the overall tone of it (the feelings it inspires) and how the brightness of the colors can contribute to that tone.
