Purple Oriental Rugs

Why A Purple Oriental Rug?

There's something so perfect about purple Oriental rugs. It almost seems that purple, the color of regality and luxury, was always meant to be combined with Oriental rugs that are held in high regard worldwide.

Purple oriental rugs have something special that sparks creativity in novice and professional decorators alike. The intricate Oriental designs go so well with purples of various shades, from lilac to eggplant, that the rug becomes the centerpiece of the room.

Oriental rugs have thousands of years of history, and they're cherished as investment pieces by collectors everywhere. You'll find them in museums, castles, mansions, townhomes, apartments, and even tiny houses.

The following inspiration will give you ideas on how to use purple oriental area rugs in your home:

• You can place Oriental purple area rugs in chic bedrooms that are decorated primarily in white and grey. These rugs also go well with black furniture. The bedroom has lower traffic than the rest of the home, so the rug will be easier to keep nice for decades to come.
• You might use dark purple Persian rugs in a minimalist living room, creating a centerpiece for the middle of the house. The dark purple will look nice with striking designs and colors like white, grey, and black.
• You can use purple traditional rugs in a casual country kitchen that receives moderate to low traffic. The rug will make the space more uplifting, and if you use classic colors like yellow or orange in the kitchen, it'll go well with them.

A Closer Look At Purple Oriental Area Rugs

Interior decorators often say that purple is one of the easiest colors for a novice to use. It's simple to see what goes with it and what doesn't, and it can make a room appear expertly decorated.

In Feng Shui and color psychology, your purple area rug can bring qualities like calmness, restoration, relaxation and creativity into a space so it's no wonder that it's a popular choice for a home--especially in the bedroom.

Is A Purple Oriental Rug Right For Me?

Try a color scheme designer to compare your room's existing decor with various shades of purple. If you have colors that don't work with purple, experiment with removing them from the space to make room for this beautiful investment.

Next, you'll want to think about:

• Size: It's tempting to go huge with Oriental rugs, but measure your space to be sure you get the Goldilocks fit. Your rug's dimensions should be at least 2' smaller than the room for width and length.
• Thickness: If any doors will swing over the rug, measure how much space there is between them and the floor. This is your rug's maximum thickness to prevent catching.

Choosing The Perfect Purple Oriental Rug

Look for your required size and thickness using the filters and then open your top picks to compare. This will help you find your favorite design, which is the most important aspect of selecting an Oriental rug.

Remember, add a rug pad to your purchase, so it doesn't slide on your floor!
