How a Pink Vintage Rug Can Highlight Your Room Decor

A pink vintage rug can highlight your room’s decor by emphasizing the color palette, connecting to the style, and setting the tone. The key in choosing a rug is to select one that works hand in hand with your decor; that way, each decorative element is working towards the same goal.

Decorating With a Pink Vintage Rug

When you’re decorating with a pink vintage rug, you have your pick of how you want to include that vintage tone. For example, some vintage rugs will feature dated designs and motifs from past eras, while others will reference the passage of time with faded or distressed patterns. No matter which way you want to lean stylistically, you have your pick for pink vintage area rugs.

Choosing Which Pink Vintage Rug is Right for You

As you shop for the rug that’s just right for you, you may be feeling daunted by the task. Consider these important topics to narrow your search and find your perfect rug. 

Position: First, determine your room’s layout and where your rug will fit into that scheme. These general ideas will serve to get you started. 

Living Room: A rug is great for establishing your main seating area. Depending on the size of the room, you may place the rug in front of the seats, under their front legs, or further beneath them. An alternative idea is to use a smaller rug elsewhere in the room to establish a separate seating area. 

Dining Room: When you’re adding a rug to your dining room, center it under your table and leave about two or three feet of excess on each side of the table so that the chairs can be pushed in and out easily. 

Bedroom: If your bed is the central focal point of the room, lay your rug either all the way under the bed, under the bottom two-thirds of it, or closer to the foot of the bed. If your bed is off to one side or against a wall, then place your rug in the middle of the room itself or along the side of the bed. 

Kitchen: 2x3 or 3x5 rugs are perfect for places you tend to be stationary, such as in front of a sink or stove. If you have a narrow kitchen, try using a runner rug to fill that space, establish a path, and provide comfort. 

Bathroom: Common places for pink vintage bathroom rugs include in front of a sink, shower, or tub. Runners are also common in front of a double vanity or in another narrow area. 

Outdoors: You can add style and comfort to your deck, patio, or porch with a pink vintage outdoor rug. For layout ideas, check out similar indoor spaces. 

Size/Shape: After your layout is set, finalize the size and shape of your rug. In both cases, be sure to look for a rug that will be balanced with the rest of the room. If the rug is too large or an unflattering shape, it may make the room look out of whack and overwhelm or underwhelm the room. 

Pattern: Pink vintage rugs can fit into a variety of different interior design styles. Some patterns fit into one specific style while others can be used to blend styles together. Designs that feature persian, oriental, or moroccan prints can often fit into farmhouse, coastal, traditional, and other styles because the patterns bring the class and the finish brings the vintage. These are just a few examples to show how transcendent pink vintage area rugs really are!

Color: The rug’s color will play a large role in determining the rug’s style. You may find pinks that are rosy, burnt, bright, or some other shade. Then, there are other colors in the rug’s design like blue, grey, green, and so many more. Focus on finding a rug with similar colors to the rest of the decor, but make sure that these colors also convey the same tone as that decor.
