The 15 Best Black and white Rugs

Neutral colors have been popular throughout many interior design styles for the past few decades, but no color combination is more classic than black and white. With the purest of shades, these two contrast one another perfectly between light and dark to create bold style. When softened, they can still highlight their differences but create a more gentle, restrained statement. One way to incorporate black and white into a room is through a rug. Choosing the best black and white rug can be a daunting task since there are so many options out there, which is why we’ve compiled a list of our top 15 black and white rugs.
