How a Teal 9x12 Rug can Highlight your Room Decor

Decorating with a Teal 9x12 Rug

A teal 9x12 rug can be dolled up in many ways, and because teal is a popular color in many interior design styles, you’ll find that 9x12 teal rugs come in a variety of patterns and color schemes so that they can fit in with whatever your personal style is. 

Choosing which Teal 9x12 Rug is Right for You

When you’re choosing which teal 9x12 rug is right for you, there are several areas that you can think through to help you buy confidently. 

Scale: Since you’ve already decided you want a 9x12 teal rug, it’s worth taking that extra step at the start to make sure that 9x12 really is the right size for your room. You want a rug that isn’t going to stand out as too large or too small compared with the other furniture and the size of the room itself. Judging scale comes naturally to many, since you can typically see by sight if something is out of balance. 

Position: Next up, consider the fact that how you position your rug is another factor in considering the rug’s size. In living rooms, you can place a 9x12 teal rug completely beneath the furniture, but a more common position for this size may be to place it under the front two legs of the seats or completely in front of the chairs if you have a large space. As for other rooms, like bedrooms and dining rooms, rugs are often centered directly beneath the furniture with enough excess on the sides to serve practical functions as well. 

You can also get creative in other spaces, like playrooms, offices, and even outdoor spaces. Teal 9x12 rugs come in many different forms and finishes, so you can choose one that has a height that you prefer stylistically and practically. 

Shape: 9x12 teal rugs are most commonly thought of as being rectangular, but they’re available as ovals. Choosing a shape with rounded edges can soften a room’s appearance, and depending on your space, may be more practical than a rectangular rug. 

Patterns: Teal 9x12 area rugs come in many different patterns, from abstract and geometric to ornate and persian rugs. Some patterns are associated with particular styles, such as geometric shapes being used in modern design styles or modern boho. More traditional patterns like oriental and persian rugs can appear in not only traditional homes, but can also range from elegant and formal homes to more homey and rustic interiors. The biggest defining factor of the pattern’s style is not only the shapes that make up the pattern, but the complexity of the pattern and the pattern’s color palette. 

Colors: When you’re shopping for your perfect teal rug 9x12, remember that not all teal rugs are equal. Some may show off teals that are bright and jubilant, while others will be more muted and subdued. Plus, the other colors incorporated in the rug can further compliment your color scheme and define the style. For example, a teal and blue rug can fit in with coastal styles or farmhouse styles depending on the exact color combination and their intensity. When you’re shopping, think about the overall mood you want to create and how certain color palettes and brightness can create that mood.
