How a Pink Rug can Highlight your Room Decor

A pink rug can be the perfect addition to any room, because the warm tones of the pink can highlight other decor you have around the room. Even if you choose to go with a deeper shade of pink such as a rosy pink or an earthy pink, these shades can add depth to your room and create a cohesive space with the rug, furniture, and decor.

Decorating with a Pink Rug

Because pink rugs can show off a variety of styles and color tones, a pink rug can fit into a ton of different design styles. For example, you’ll often see earthy pinks or softer pinks used in pink boho rugs, while more traditional rugs will show off muted or rosey pinks. When pairing your rug with the rest of the room’s decor, you can choose to use accents that are similar shades of pink, or you can choose complementary colors like blue, teal, orange, white, gray, and beige.

Choosing which Pink Rug is Right for You

There are a few broad areas to consider when it comes to choosing your pink area rug. . 

Position: First, you need to consider which room you’re using the rug in, and how you’ll position it with the other furniture. This depends highlighly on the size of your room, but here are a few examples of common layouts for rugs. 

• Living Rooms: A pink area rug can look great centered within your main seating area. If your room is smaller, you can always use a smaller pink rug or even a runner in front of your sofa.
• Dining Room: In the dining room, a pink rug is a natural fit centered beneath your dining room table.
• Bedroom: Rectangular rugs are often placed about ? under the bed and extend further into the room. However, there are plenty of other options, including centering a rug in the room itself or placing a pink runner next to the side of the bed.
• Entryway: A pink runner can work well in a narrow entryway, or you can use a larger pink rug in the center of the space.

Size: When pairing your rug with furniture and placing it in the room, be sure to consider the scale. For example, you don’t need a 12x12 foot rug for one chair, but you also don’t need a 2x3 rug for a large sectional either.

Shape: Rectangular and round rugs may be the most common rugs, but there are other options out there as well. Look around for other options if you’re looking for a more unique, eclectic style, or go with the traditional rectangular or round rugs. Both have their perks based on their shapes, but the shape of the rug isn’t the only important aspect to note in terms of appearance.

Pattern: There are thousands of designs and patterns for rugs, and each one can set a particular tone or style. Certain styles like persian and ornate designs go well with traditional and modern spaces, along with other designs like floral prints. Geometric patterns and stripes can fit a variety of styles, like farmhouse, boho, coastal, and modern style. 

Shades/Pairings: The shade of pink can drastically affect the rug’s tone, and so can the colors that pink is paired with. Popular combinations include pink and blue, pink and gray, pink and white, pink and orange, and pink and gold. The shades and tones of the colors you mix with the pink will also help set the mood and add to whatever style you’re creating, whether it’s elegant or cozy.
