• You can use a black and white striped cotton rug to ground a room and anchor its décor regardless of your current color palette. Black and white are neutral colors that will go with anything. This is perfect for a place that features several colorful accents.
• Small striped cotton rugs can be used to make areas like the laundry room or kitchen feel bigger. Use the stripes to your advantage by picking a rug with lines in the direction you would like to visually enhance and choose colors that will go well with your existing décor!

A Closer Look At Striped Cotton Rugs

Cotton is a natural material that won’t break the bank. It’s more affordable than wool and more durable in most situations, which makes it ideal for any home. You can place a striped cotton rug in your kitchen, bathroom, den, dining room, office, and anywhere else that might require protection.

Rugs offer the following benefits:

• Insulation
• Padding
• Sound muffling
