Red Rugs

A well-chosen red rug can really make a room. The color red symbolizes power, energy, passion, and success. After all, celebrities don’t walk on a white carpet at award ceremonies. Likewise, red always adds drama to a room. A rug featuring deep reds with an intricate gold design in a traditional room, or a solid floor-covering surrounded by modern furnishings, is sure to make a statement you and your guests will gush over.

The Power of Red Area Rugs

Add personality by adding red floor coverings to a room. Bright floor-coverings in this shade are hard to miss when placed against any kind of bare floor. Darker tones of this color on the floor looks great in rooms that have very high ceiling or lots of floor space – lofts, in particular, gain a lot of space and attractiveness from deep, daring, mysterious reds.

Not sure if red rugs are right for you? Keep in mind that you aren’t bound to a solid example of this color. Many of our rugs feature patterns accentuated by red designs and threading. If you don’t want the color to dominate the room, you can always choose a rug that has some hint of reds in it – this is a great way to slowly immerse yourself and the room in the color.

For a particularly fun, retro look, choose a red shag rug. These fluffy rugs are great conversation starters and they are also wonderfully soft to the touch. Another option is a pure wool rug that comes in this color. Wool rugs add both the illusion of warmth and actual warmth to a space. Alternatively, you can choose a sisal or jute rug that has accents of this color in it. Really, there are lots of different options to select from. Choose bold reds – you won’t regret it.
