Sage Area Rugs

How a Sage Area Rug Can Highlight Your Room Decor

A sage area rug can highlight your room’s decor by emphasizing your room’s color palette, contributing to the style, and setting the tone. You can also look at the imagery within your rug’s pattern as a way to connect to the other decor thematically. For example, if you are creating a modern space that uses simple, sleek lines throughout the room, you can find a rug’s pattern that uses similar designs. 

Decorating With a Sage Area Rug

When you’re decorating with a sage area rug, you’re not stuck with one specific style. Sage green is a popular color in both modern and vintage styles as well as many other popular styles. Outside of the designs themselves, you’ll find that sage rugs come in a variety of color palettes, shapes, pile heights, and even other styles of rugs. So no matter what style you fall into, you can find a rug that perfectly suits you.

Choosing Which Sage Area Rug is Right for You

As you look for a sage green area rug that’s perfect for you, consider these key areas. 

Position: First, decide on your room’s layout and where you plan on placing your rug within that. 

Living Room: Center a large sage area rug with your main seating to establish that area as comfortable and welcoming. Depending on the size of the room, you may place the rug right in front of the seats, under the front legs, or further beneath the chairs. 

Dining Room: For the most practical and balanced look, center your table on top of the rug. Be sure to leave about two-three feet of extra rug on each side so the chairs can be pushed in and out. 

Bedroom: If your bed is a central focal point of the room, accentuate it by placing a rug either all the way under the bed, under the bottom two-thirds of it, or closer to the foot of the bed. Even if your bed is off to one side, you can still add a rug to the bedroom by centering the rug in the middle of the room or lining it up along the side of the bed. 

Kitchen: 2x3 and 3x5 sage rugs are a perfect fit in front of your sink. However, if you have a galley kitchen or a kitchen with an island, try using a sage runner rug instead to establish a path and provide comfort. 

Bathroom: Bathrooms will use similar sized rugs to the kitchen. Small rugs are ideal in front of a tub, shower, or sink, and runners can be utilized in narrow pathways or in front of a double vanity. 

Outdoors: You can browse sage outdoor area rugs for your patios, porches, or other outdoors areas. For layout ideas, look at similar indoor spaces. 

Shape/Size: After your layout is set, finalize the size and shape of the rug. There are the standard shapes of round, rectangular, and runner that work in a variety of styles and rooms, but there are other options as well for uniquely shaped rooms or for unique styling. There are also a variety of sizes, such as 5x7, 8x10, and 9x12 rugs. No matter what size and shape you choose, make sure it’s balanced with the furniture and layout. 

Pattern: The pattern/design of your sage area rug has a huge impact on the style of the rug. Fortunately, sage rugs come in all sorts of designs so you can truly fit your style or even blend different designs. So whether you’re looking for a traditional, oriental, southwestern, or modern pattern, you have your pick. Choose a pattern that connects to the other decor thematically and isn’t too busy or too plain for the room. 

Color: Sage green area rugs are available in a variety of color palettes, and each one impacts the overarching tone and style of the rug. Even neutral colors like tan, grey, black, and white have varying tones depending on how deep the colors are and what other colors are in the pattern. As you look for a rug, choose a color palette that has similar colors to the rest of the decor, but also make sure that it conveys the same tone.
