Grey Vintage Rugs

Why A Grey Or Black Vintage Rug?

Does your home need some sophisticated or cooling energy? A grey vintage rug could be just what you need! And with such a full selection, you can't go wrong.

When an interior decorator adds a grey vintage rug to a room, they're working with a neutral color to anchor and ground the space. You might see this in a minimalist home in which colors are scarce, but it could also work well in a bright area that has several colorful accents. And for those who want something with more impact, a black vintage rug can do the same thing.

For shoppers who might want extra inspiration before they buy, we've listed some of our favorite design ideas below:

• A vintage distressed grey rug can offset a bright white room with a formal and calming atmosphere. Distressed grey can also work well in chic, Wabi Sabi, and eclectic settings. With a light color, you'll want to place it in a lower traffic zone to avoid staining.
•  A vintage black rug is another creature entirely. You don't see black rugs often because they can weigh down a room in the wrong setting. When they're used correctly, though, they're stunning. Try one of these pieces in an industrial chic or minimalist home.
•  A blue and grey vintage rug from Safavieh introduces color without taking away from the grey aesthetic. These extraordinary rug designs are detailed, intricate and full of life. You'll also find several other color options blended with gray.
