Is there anything more striking than a black Persian rug? Who knows, but you can't pass these beauties up! With hundreds of choices, there's something for everyone.

Why a Black Persian Rug?

Did you know that many interior decorators don’t consider a room complete without a touch of black? Adding a black Persian rug to your home is one of the perfect ways to introduce this dark neutral color to your décor. And if black is too much, a grey Persian rug will have a similar impact.

Below, you’ll find ways that you might use a Persian rug in your home to get some inspiration for your purchase. Each idea shows you a way that professional decorators use these rugs to create stunning designs:

• A black and white Persian rug looks beautiful in a traditional or minimalist home, but it can also go well in a chic or penthouse style. The combination of contrasting colors creates a grounding neutral background with compelling visual appeal.
• A black and gold Persian rug can add a touch of classic beauty and refined elegance to your home no matter what style you decorate in. These rugs can look stunning with home décor styles ranging from country to Hollywood glam with everything in between.
• Vintage grey Persian rugs are among your most versatile design options. In a color that goes with everything and designs that never go out of style, you’ll see these beauties in kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and even entryways!
