Using Lilac Area Rugs

If you've noticed the lilac trend in interior decorating, you're onto something great. This stunning pastel is an excellent way to make your home feel more contemporary, soothing, and modern. And lilac area rugs are a perfect way to add it to your home without renovation, painting, or long-term commitment. Try the color on for size, experiment with it throughout your home, and enjoy the beautiful, calming palette it creates.

As you browse to find the perfect lilac rug for your home, we hope you’ll enjoy our collection from brands and designers like Kaleen, Loloi, Safavieh, Surya and Erin Gates, and more. With so many to choose from, there’s a lilac rug for every home.

The secret to using lilac area rugs or any other lilac accent in your home is to focus on the blue undertones. A lilac rug or lavender rug can take the place of blue in most palettes. Try pairing it with white, tan, black, grey, ivory, blue, turquoise, yellow, gold, and other shades of purple. If you’re not sure which colors you’d prefer, browse lilac color palettes online to help.

For those who’d like more inspiration, we’ve highlighted some of our favorite ways to use lilac area rugs below:

Living Room

A purple rug in the living room might sound intense to beginner decorators, but it’s a safe option regardless of your skill level. Choose a color palette that works well with your chosen shade of lilac and keep it simple.

For example, a chic design could use grey, white, ivory, and other neutrals to complement a contemporary lilac and pink rug. In this case, you could add a few small accents in lilac and pink around the room to tie the look together.

Bedroom

For a calm bedroom mood, try a lilac and grey rug with light complementing textiles. Lilac rugs tend to make the space feel relaxing, chic, and mature. You might place a large rug under the bed or use lilac runner rugs on either side of the bed to frame it.

If your bedroom is low-traffic, it's the perfect spot to indulge in a softer or thicker rug. Most thick or soft rugs require low-traffic zones for long-term maintenance.

Nursery

Pastels are soothing and calming, so why not try a lilac nursery rug? Infants tend to favor purple over other colors, so lilac is a sound choice for creating a serene escape for your little one. You might try a lilac rug with colorful flower patterns on the floor with a flower theme throughout the room for a complete look.

What’s Next?

If you’re ready to pick the perfect lilac area rugs for your home, please check out the tips below to help avoid common buyer’s mistakes:

• Measure Carefully: Do you know if you need a lilac rug that’s 8x10, 6x9, 5x8, or something else? Measure the room and use our room visualizer tool for a definitive answer. Guessing on rug dimensions can lead to costly mistakes.
• Consider Durability: Pick a material that can stand up to the traffic, moisture, and soil levels in the room that you're decorating. Durability can make the difference between a rug that lasts and one that doesn't.
