If you’re shopping for a rug, it also stands to reason that you may have recently completed (or are in the process of) a home renovation. Perhaps you repainted your living room and purchased new furniture. Along with that, you’ll need a rug that will match your chosen aesthetic. Where should you begin? How about considering the versatility of neutral rugs? Today, we’re sharing our thoughts on how they are highly effective at creating a timeless and elegant look in your home.
Beige doesn’t have to be boring.
Within home design, many potential buyers try to avoid the “cookie-cutter” style of housing that is common in subdivisions. This is partially because during the late 90s to mid-2000s, most houses were some variation of brown or beige both inside and outside.
This overabundance of selection unfairly gave beige a bad name. The reality is that neutral rugs — beige, gray, blue, and so on — don’t have to be boring. It’s the accent designs within the rug itself that make them into the art pieces that they truly are.
In fact, beige is one of the most popular colors of Heriz Serapi rugs. This unique rug style (a subcategory of the larger Persian Rug family) hails from a remote region in Northwest Iran. The rugs from this community are in high demand, both because of their classic rug design as well as the way they can blend in with just about any type of decor.
Neutral rugs can pair with various types of furniture.
Embracing minimalism is a popular design trend. This leads many homeowners to choose neutral decorations and furniture, such as a gray couch. The idea is to stick to overall neutral design choices.
However, we’re also sure that you’ve heard the phrase “Variety is the spice of life.” If the rug itself is relatively neutral in tone and design, then it can easily match even the most bright and eccentric furniture designs.
The point is that the versatility of neutral rugs can still help you maintain your chosen design ethos while creating a timeless and elegant look.
Are neutral rugs cheaper?
We’ve covered what a high-quality rug should cost in several recent blog posts. However, to summarize, just because a rug is on sale doesn’t mean it’s low quality. Likewise, the color of a rug doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on the rug’s price.
Instead, it’s more about three things: age, the type of materials, and the weaving technique. You could literally have two neutral rugs side by side and their prices would vary considerably based on each of those factors. Focus on durability while also understanding the versatility of neutral rugs. Together, these can help you achieve your home decor goals.
