Solid Blue Rugs

Decorating with Solid Blue Rugs

A solid blue rug is a perfect choice to add a touch of tranquility to any room in your home. It'll transform your space while making your floor soft and inviting.

Why a Solid Blue Rug?

Designers use rugs to set up the background for a room. They subtly influence the rest of the décor, impacting how people feel when they’re in the space. A solid blue rug is versatile enough to fit with almost any style of home, and it can dramatically alter the look and feel of a room.

You can use a solid blue area rug in any room of your home, from the kitchen to the bedroom, with everything in between. And with so many materials and constructions to choose from, there's something for every house.

The ideas below are some of the many ways you might use a solid blue rug in your home:

• You could use a solid navy rug in a coastal living room, layered over a sisal rug for added padding. The larger sisal rug will add a contrast to the navy blue, creating a textural, beachy feel that is so popular in coastal homes.
• You might place a solid blue kitchen rug in a contemporary home, adding color and texture to the space. The kitchen floor will be softer to stand on, making this center of the home more inviting.
• You could use a solid blue rug runner to add a sophisticated color to the hallway in an industrial-chic home. The blue color would make the hall feel calming and tranquil while uniting the décor of the house's rooms. 

A Closer Look at Solid Blue Rugs

When you’re using solid blue rugs, you’re impacting the personality of your space. In Feng Shui and color psychology, blue is associated with relaxation, serenity, imagination and calmness to name a few. 

This means that blue rugs can add the qualities above to your room. Think about how you could use this in your bedroom, for example, to make the space more calming and relaxing.

Is a Solid Blue Rug Right for Me?

Use a color selector tool to decide if blue will work in your existing décor or if you’ll need to make adjustments. The color wheel is a decorator’s secret weapon, and it can completely change your ability to put together designs that work.

If the color is a match, there’s no reason not to use a solid blue area rug in your home. Now, it’s time to think about:

• Size: You’ll want your rug to fit perfectly in the room to avoid an awkward look. As a rule, keep at least 12 inches of space between your rug and the walls.
• Material and Thickness: Thicker, more delicate materials are best suited to low traffic zones like the bedroom. Thinner, more durable materials are better for high-traffic areas that see a lot of soil like the entryway.

Choosing the Perfect Solid Blue Area Rug

Enter your size, material, and thickness preferences into the filters to narrow the results and then compare your top picks. Don’t forget to buy a rug pad to keep it in place and add extra cushioning!
