Pink Floral Rugs

Freshen Up with Pink Floral Rugs

If you're looking to bring a touch of beauty and softness to your room, a pink floral rug is exactly what you want. For those who'd like something a little bolder, a red floral rug will do the trick!

Why a Pink Floral Rug?

Floral designs on rugs have appeared in cultures around the world, dating back thousands of years. This nature-inspired design can look classy, soft, and feminine, while still fitting with more rugged decor styles. And if you opt for a red floral rug, you can make it earthy and more grounded.

You might use a red or pink floral rug in any of the following situations:

•  Add a red floral area rug to your living room, layered with a jute rug underneath for a natural appeal.
•  Place a red floral porch rug at your front door to welcome guests with a splash of color and whimsy.
• Use a pink floral rug in your child's playroom to brighten the space and make the floor softer for little hands and feet.

A Closer Look at Floral Rugs

Interior designers use rugs to anchor a room and define its personality. Your rug combines with furniture and accessories to complete the space, all while serving as a backdrop.

These elegant floral rugs bring a breath of fresh air into any room, making them feel brighter and happier. The most popular style of floral rug in today's decor is large and rectangular, positioned in the living room or dining area. However, they're also great for large kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, entryways, mudrooms and porches to name a few. 

Floral rugs are so versatile that they remove all hard rules for decorating and give you room to breathe. They're particularly popular for people looking for safe ways to push boundaries and add sprinklings of color into each room.

Is a Pink Floral Rug Right for Me?

While pink and red floral rugs come in so many variations that there's something for everyone, use a color picker tool to make sure your choice will fit your home. Interior decorators don't make any decisions without thinking about or looking at a color wheel, which is part of why they produce such beautiful designs. 

The following tips will help you decorate with florals confidently:

•  Balance small and large-scale patterns. Decorating with floral designs is fun and easy, but it can get chaotic if you use them incorrectly. Keep it classy by balancing small- and large-scale patterns instead of using multiple same-scale patterns. For example, if you already have smaller patterns on your walls or in your art, use a larger-scale pattern on your floral rug.
• Think subtle. Look for subtle hues in your rug, especially if the room already has bold color choices. These keep the rug from dominating the room. The exception here-?and there's always an exception-?is if you're using dark reds. These are subtle in their own way.

Choosing the Perfect Pink Rug

Once you've decided on a color range for your pink or red rug, it's time to think about the size. The following chart will help:

• Room: 5' x 7' "- Rug: 3' x 5'
• Room: 7' x 10' "- Rug: 5' x 8'
• Room: 10' x 12' "- Rug: 8' x 10'
• Room: 11' x 14' "- Rug: 9' x 12'
• Room: 14' x 17' "- Rug: 12' x 15'

Measure carefully, and if you're using a round rug, go with the smaller dimension, adding up to 1 ft to make sure the rug fits in your room.
