Using a Blue and Coral Rug

The first step to making sure a blue and coral rug is a good fit for your space is to check the color palette. Most rooms should have a palette of four to five colors that go well together. This palette helps you pick the colors for the walls, rugs, furniture, accents, window treatments, and more. If blue and coral aren’t in the room’s palette, a bit of planning and redecorating can make room for these colors.

Add a rug pad to your order to add years to the life of your new rug. Pads prevent sliding damage caused by surface friction, and we recommend using them from day one.
