Decorating Your Own Home: Different Ways to Use Pink Rugs

Deciding on home decor takes a lot of steps. You’ll need to make several specific choices, such as style, shape, size, and color before moving forward on updating a room. Since all of those will play a part in your overall aesthetic, today we want to challenge you. One color homeowners often overlook is pink. As it turns out, pink can be a versatile color option coming in a wide variety of styles. Don’t believe us? We recently covered the many benefits of pink rugs here. To help get your creative wheels spinning, here are 4 of our favorite DIY pink rug projects.

Updating a Bedroom

With so many available shades, a pink rug in a bedroom can work in just about every design aesthetic. That’s why the first of our pink rug projects starts here. 

Soft shades like pale rose or muted salmon can help accent a modern farmhouse or bohemian vibe. On the other hand, bright shades like fuchsia and magenta will pop in an eclectic, vintage space. 

Eventually, all rugs will need to be cleaned, and pink rugs are no exception. As a bonus, by using them in a lower-traffic area such as your bedroom you can extend the life of the rug while minimizing the frequency of cleaning.

Sleeping Porch

Have you heard of a sleeping porch? While their popularity is greater in the South due to more agreeable temperatures, a seasonal sleeping porch could be a great DIY pink rug project to update your home. 

Since this space is already unique, adding a pink rug will help it stand out. 

This same idea works in an enclosed porch also. Picture an enclosed porch with various house plants, wood accents, and light-colored furniture. Now add a pink rug to the image you’ve created. It completely changes the space and ties everything together.

Rugs as Art Pieces

So far, we’ve discussed using rugs as the floor covering they were created to be. But since we’re challenging you today, we want to throw out another idea. Rugs can be utilized as pieces of art! The hand-knotting, symbolic, and storytelling techniques that weavers utilize in handwoven rugs are similar to those that tapestry and other weaving artists use. 

Updating Any Room

Circling back to updates, the third of our DIY pink rug projects helps to show appreciation for the past while bringing your space up-to-date. Tearing out the existing 70s shag running through your entire home and replacing it with hardwood is a popular design decision today. 

However, one way to retain the character of your space is by adding a pink shag rug. It updates the space while maintaining a unique element of the past.
