Ocean Rugs

Why Choose an Ocean Themed Rug

If you're a fan of coastal decor, you're onto something great with these ocean rugs. Rugs lay the foundation for a room, grounding the furniture and making the space more inviting. Whether you want to add ocean-themed artwork to your floors or a modern design with ocean-inspired colors, you'll find what you're looking for.

Coastal style is a fast-growing style in the interior design industry, and it can be found around the world. Whether you live by the beach or in a landlocked region with only lakes and rivers, jumping into this trendy style is well worth it.

A clean, natural palette is a common characteristic of ocean-themed spaces. You'll find varied hues of white and blue with splashes of coral, seashell pink, sand, and seagrass in most ocean-inspired rooms. White furniture and navy blue accents are particularly popular elements to include.

Using Ocean Themed Rugs Throughout The Home

You can use ocean themed rugs in any room of your home, from the living area to your bathroom, with everywhere in between. Below, you'll find a few examples of how to use ocean rugs in different areas of the home for inspiration:

Kid's Room

Decorating a kid's bedroom, play area, or nursery in ocean blues takes advantage of this color's calming effect. Try using an ocean waves rug to make the space more engaging with fish and seashells incorporated in the rest of the space.

Bathroom

Ocean bathroom rugs work well because of the association with water in this area of the home. Try using a pair of ocean area rugs at the sink and tub to make your bathroom more visually appealing. You might add a touch of warmth to this space by picking ocean rugs with coral designs against a blue backdrop.

Living Room

An ocean blue rug can be used in almost any living room, no matter the style. And ocean-themed rug designs are perfect for coastal and beachy aesthetics, especially if you fully embrace the look. Try a rug with a striking border or one with eye-catching artwork across the entire piece.

What's Next?

You're all set to pick your favorite ocean rugs to give your home a makeover. Before you do, though, we recommend making a list of the details you're looking for. The points below will help you identify areas that you need to consider to ensure a good purchase:

• Size: Measure your room and look at placement guides to determine the right size of rug for the space. This might also require you to measure the furniture in the room.
• Durability: Pick a material, construction method, and thickness that you can keep clean in your home. Higher levels of shoe traffic, soil, moisture, UV exposure, and messes will require more durable rugs.
• Style: Look for ocean rugs that match your home's existing style to prevent clashing decor. For example, if your home is decorated in a traditional style, you might opt for an ocean-blue oriental rug instead of a themed rug with fish patterns.
