Is a Red and Brown Rug Right for Me?

A red and brown rug is perfect for almost any home. Whether you like farmhouse rugs or the flashier oriental rugs, you'll find what you're looking for. The best part is that you can find red and brown rugs in all color intensities, ranging from washed-out vintage to bold and vibrant and everything in between.

Red and brown rugs are also a practical choice. They hide stains well, which is a comfort if you have children or pets in your home, and they can adjust to new decor styles.

The following tips will help you figure out which rug is right for your home and lifestyle:

• Think about traffic in your home. If your rug will be in an area that's walked on a lot, you'll want something durable and practical. Thick rugs can flatten and attract dirt in high-traffic zones, but they're great for cozy sitting areas.
• Pick a material that matches your lifestyle. You want something that won't get ruined in your home. If your floors see a lot of mud and dirt, opt for a rug that is stain-resistant or that can be washed as needed, like an indoor/outdoor rug.
• Look for the right shape. If your room is square or features a square dining table, a square rug is perfect. If you have round elements in your space or want to make the space seem more significant, a round rug is a great fit. Rectangular rugs are the traditional option that work in most rectangular rooms, regardless of design elements.
