A grey persian area rug can highlight your room’s decor by reinforcing the room’s color scheme, fitting into the same style, and conveying your desired tone. A rug should never be competing with the room’s decor for attention. Instead, view each piece of decor, artwork, furniture, and rug as elements that work towards the same goal of creating a cohesive style. When you decorate with that in mind, each element will shine as key parts of the room’s design.
Grey persian rugs are diverse in design and style. Depending on your personal aesthetic, you can use a grey persian area rug to fit into a farmhouse, modern, contemporary, traditional, or bohemian style. Some brands like Safavieh, Surya, and Loloi II Rugs feature a variety of grey Persian rugs that fit into different styles. Which style the rug falls into depends on some of the facets below, which will serve as a guide to help you find the rug that suits your style and needs.
Consider each of these areas of rug shopping to help you choose your best grey persian rug.
Position: First, decide on your room’s layout and where you would like to place your rug. Each room is unique in its furnishing, size, and layout, but these general guidelines will give you some direction.
Living Room: Large grey persian area rugs are ideal for defining your main seating area. In these cases, the rug can rest in front of the seats, under their front legs, or further under the chairs.
Dining Room: Dining room rugs look most natural when they are centered directly beneath the table. To make sure you have room for the chairs, have between one and two feet of extra rug on each side and end of the table.
Bedroom: If your bed is centered on a wall, you can define it as a key focal point by layering a rug beneath the bed. Rugs are typically placed all the way under the bed or under the bottom two-thirds of it, although they can rest closer to the foot of the bed too. If your bed is off to one side of the room, center a grey persian rug in the middle of the room itself to tie the whole space together.
Kitchen: 2x3 and 3x5 grey persian rugs can be used to add comfort to sinks, stoves, or any other area you tend to be stationary. Alternatively, grey persian runner rugs are ideal for covering the same territory and can create a longer path.
Bathroom: Bathrooms benefit from smaller rugs as well, especially when they are stationed by sinks, tubs, or showers. Runners fit well when they accent a double vanity or create a path into the bathroom.
Outdoors: Grey persian outdoor rugs are ideally suited to define an outdoor seating area, dining space, or another recreational area. Refer back to similar indoor spaces for layout ideas.
Size/Shape: After finalizing the room’s layout, you can choose the size and shape of your rug. The most popular shapes are rectangular, round, runner, or square, but there are others as well. The shape will directly impact the size rug you choose, since both factors affect how the rug will layer with furniture/sit next to permanent fixtures. Some small sizes were recommended above, but other common sizes include 5x8, 6x9, 8x10, and 9x12.
Pattern: Even within the narrowed category of Persian area rugs, there are still dozens of different styles based on different tribes, cities, and peoples. Medallions are common throughout Persian designs, but their exact shapes, sizes, and ornamentation vary depending on the people group behind the design. When you choose a pattern, look at your existing decor for similar shapes/imagery to tie the room’s style together.
Color: Although you’ve narrowed your search to grey persian rugs, there is still a lot to consider with color. Grey itself comes in various shades, such as blue grey, dark grey, faded grey, or light grey. Then, there are different combinations like black and grey, grey and white, red and grey, and others. Ultimately, your rug’s color palette should fit into the room’s existing color scheme and convey a consistent tone.
What are some characteristics of grey Persian rugs?
Grey Persian rugs are typically made from high-quality wool or silk and are hand-knotted by skilled artisans. They often feature intricate floral or geometric patterns in shades of grey, black, and white. Grey Persian rugs are known for their durability, softness, and beauty, making them a popular choice for traditional and modern homes alike.
Can grey Persian rugs be used in high-traffic areas?
Yes, grey Persian rugs are known for their durability and can be used in high-traffic areas like hallways, entryways, and living rooms. However, it is important to choose a rug with a dense pile and a sturdy construction to ensure that it can withstand heavy foot traffic without showing signs of wear and tear. A rug pad can also be used to provide extra cushioning and prevent slipping.
Can you machine wash a grey Persian rug?
It is not recommended to machine wash a grey Persian rug as it can damage the rug's fibers and cause it to lose its shape and color. Persian rugs are typically hand-knotted and made from high-quality wool or silk, which require special care to maintain their beauty and longevity.
