Multicolor

In present day home decor we are seeing a large scale return of multicolor rugs. These very bright elements are not just used as accent pieces they are the key players in which we transform a room to an extension of who we are, our creative ideas and a feel of warmth. For those that are into dressing a warm small apartment, to those that are redoing an open concept home a multicolor rug may just be that design element that brings it all together and makes your space an unforgettable experience.

Why Multicolor Rugs Are Having a Moment

In our time self expression is at the core of everything including home decor. We see a shift away from generic looks which come straight out of a catalog to a unique personal touch which is what we as individuals bring to the table. That is what multi colored rugs do best.

Unlike monocolor or black and white rugs which tend to fade into the background, multicolor rugs take the stage. They bring energy, warmth, and that lived in look that is so sought after. In the eclectic boho, modern chic, or globally inspired interiors that we see today these rugs are right at home. They also draw attention to everything else in the room.

Versatility in Design and Style

The multitude of colors in rugs brings out their great versatility. They go with almost any color scheme because they are made up of many colors to begin with. Also they are the perfect base pieces for rooms that have a mix of furniture styles or that play with different shades on the walls.

In the living room a multi colored rug ties in different elements like a teal sofa, mustard armchair, and neutral wooden coffee table into a single put together look. In a bedroom it introduces a soft colorful touch at your feet, which in turn brightens up the most basic of spaces. In kids’ rooms or creative work areas it brings in an element of fun and freedom which in turn encourages play and creativity.

A Practical Statement Piece

Beyond the obvious aesthetic value multi colored rugs are also very practical. In high traffic areas which include hallways, entry ways or family rooms these rugs do great at covering up stains, dirt and wear. The mix of colors in these rugs does a great job at masking small spills and dust which in turn makes them a great choice for busy homes with kids or pets.

Many use materials like wool blends or recycled fibers, which are at the same time practical and sustainable. Also which is a fact that you don’t have to give up on looking for the benefit of performance in this case, you get both.

How to Style a Multicolor Rug

Some people are reticent to put down multi colored rugs out of fear that they will not go with the rest of the room’s design. But what you do is not to make everything in the rug the same as what you have already but instead to either play off of or go into contrast with it.

Select one to two colors from the rug which you will then repeat in your accessories in your choice of throw pillows, artwork or curtains. As for the rest of the decor choose a more neutral approach to put the focus on the rug. In a minimalist or monochrome setting a multicolor rug brings in that right amount of visual interest without at the same time making the space feel crowded.

Final Thoughts

Multicolor rugs are a statement they are a call to action for homes that should be full of life, personality and energy. They give you the chance to play, to express yourself and to reinvent your space with every step you take. If your interiors are lacking in character and panache try instead to let a multicolor rug take center stage.
