A Halloween area rug can highlight your room’s decor by bringing in those Halloween vibes in a way that’s meaningful to you and fitting into your favorite style. It can connect to your decor by using similar imagery, color schemes, and tone to complete your style. Through these simple connections, you can design a room that truly reflects your personality and some holiday flair.
You may think that Halloween rugs can only be brought out for one or two weeks a year when the holiday comes about, but that’s far from the truth. You can find rugs that evoke memories and feelings of Halloween that are versatile enough to be used during several fall months or even year-round. As you continue your search for a Halloween area rug that’s right for you, think about how often you want the rug out and what purpose you want it to fill stylistically.
As you shop for a Halloween area rug that’s perfect for you and your needs, consider these key topics to guide you.
Position: First, consider the room’s layout and where you want to place your rug. Each room is unique, so take these ideas as starting points and then develop your profile to your specific room.
Living Room: The most common living room setup is to use a larger Halloween area rug to establish your main seating area. When you do so, you have the option of laying the rug in front of the seats, under their front legs, or further under the chairs. You can also use a smaller rug in another area of the room to establish a coffee corner, social space, or miscellaneous area.
Dining Room: Center your rug under the table for a well-balanced look. Be sure to leave about two or three feet of extra rug on each side so the chairs can be comfortably pushed in and out.
Bedroom: If your bed is the main focal point and is centered in the bedroom, add to it by laying a rug either all the way under the bed, under the bottom two-thirds of it, or closer to the foot of the bed. Alternatively, if your bed is off to the side or against a wall, line a rug up along the side of the bed or in the middle of the room.
Kitchen: Kitchens are the perfect place to add in a seasonal rug. Use a 2x3 or 3x5 Halloween rug in front of a sink or stove, or place a Halloween runner rug in narrow areas.
Bathrooms: Similar to kitchens, you can use a runner rug in narrow areas, but you can also use one in front of a double vanity. Another option is to use those smaller Halloween area rugs in front of a tub, shower, or sink.
Outdoors: Don’t limit your style to inside your home; add flavor to your deck, patio, or porch with an outdoor Halloween area rug. For layout ideas, check out similar indoor spaces.
Size/Shape: Next up, decide what size and shape rug will work best in your ideal layout. In both these cases, consider the footprint of the room itself and choose a size/shape that will be balanced in space. The most common shapes to work with are round, rectangular, and runner, but there are other options out there as well if you have a unique layout or just want to do something different with your style. As for size, check out standard options of 5x7, 8x10, and 9x12, but be sure to choose whatever size is right for your room, even if it’s a less common size.
Pattern: The good thing about Halloween rugs is that you can go as bold or as subtle as you want. Some rugs will specifically feature images associated with Halloween like owls, pumpkins, and Halloween quotes/phrases. Others will be more subtle and versatile by including fall imagery or focus on using Halloween colors in other patterns. Whatever pattern you choose, make sure it conveys the proper tone and pairs well with your existing decor thematically and stylistically.
Color: Halloween area rugs tend to use a very particular color palette where oranges are in the forefront. However, you still need to choose what shades of color are in the rug, what tone those colors convey, and which colors are more prominent than others. With all these areas, consider the overarching tone and style of the room and choose a rug with a color palette that fits into those visions.
