Teal Oriental Rugs

How a Teal Oriental Rug can Highlight your Room Decor

A teal oriental rug can highlight your room’s decor by complimenting a color scheme you already have or serve as the basis for the room’s palette. Plus, the patterns, shapes, and textures of your teal oriental area rug can be reflected in the other decor, like wall art, pillows, shelf-sitters, and other decor.

Decorating with a Teal Oriental Rug

When you decorate with a teal oriental rug, you can fit it in with very elegant, luxurious styles, but you can also find oriental patterns that are more casual and homey. A lot of what determines the rug’s style is the specific color scheme, the complexity of the pattern, and the intensity of the colors. There are other areas as well that are factors in finding your perfect rug, which we’ll detail below. 

Choosing which Teal Oriental Rug is Right for You

Because there’s a ton of options out there for teal oriental rugs and how to decorate with them, you may be intimidated by the whole process. Fortunately, if you think through just a few key areas, you can be confident in finding your perfect rug. 

Position: Early on, you should decide on the rug’s layout within the room and how it connects to the other furniture and decorations. Here are some general guidelines. 

• Living Rooms: In a living room, rugs are often centered with the main furniture. The rug can rest completely under the furniture in larger rooms, but in more standard spaces, the rug tends to sit under the front two legs of the seats or directly in front of them. You can also use a smaller teal oriental rug elsewhere in the room to set up a small social corner. 
• Dining Rooms: Your teal oriental rug can be centered beneath the table with enough room on the sides and ends for the chairs to sit comfortably on it in all set-ups. 
• Bedrooms: If your bed is centered in the bedroom, the rug tends to be centered beneath it. You can lay it all the way under the bed or under the bottom ? of it. 
• Kitchens: Adding any rug to your kitchen is an easy way to add style, and you can also add in practicality by placing a 2x3 or 3x5 rug by the sink. Plus, a teal oriental runner rug is a perfect addition in galley kitchens or along a kitchen island. 
• Bathrooms: Like the kitchen, a 2x3 rug is a great addition in front of a sink, but it can also fit next to a shower or bathtub. Runners are also a great option for double vanities or narrow pathways. 
• Outdoors: Finally, teal oriental area rugs are also available as outdoor rugs, so you can carry your style outside. Just follow the guidelines for similar indoor spaces for placement ideas.

Shape: Teal oriental rugs are most frequently bought as rectangular, round, or runner rugs, but there are other shapes as well. Going with a different shape can help with uniquely shaped rooms or simply add unexpected style to any other space. 

Pattern: Oriental rugs are known for certain details, shapes, and tone, but each pattern is unique. Some will have frames around the outer edges of the rug while others have patterns that take up the whole rug. Plus, some rugs have softer, rounded shapes while other rugs use sharper shapes. Each pattern can convey its own tone and the shapes can also connect to your other artwork and decor, so think carefully about the pattern and how it can subtly complement the other details in your room. 

Color: Teal oriental area rugs may have various different shades of teal, from bright and vibrant to muted and subdued. Oftentimes, these rugs often include other hues, like beige and tan or grays. The color combinations and their intensity play a large role in defining the room’s style and tone, so think about color psychology and find a color scheme that creates the mood you want.
