Using Plum Rugs

If you love all things purple, plum rugs might be just what you’re looking for! This warm and vibrant shade is a mix between magenta and purple with a deeper tone. It’s a classic color that transcends the trend culture, and it can range from dark to bright, earthy to glam. This beautiful color is also popping up on runways and interior fashion, and it isn’t going anywhere any time soon.

As you search for the perfect plum area rug, we hope you’ll enjoy our selection from trusted brands and designers like Justina Blakeney, Loloi Rugs, Safavieh, KAS, and more. With patterns ranging from classic to contemporary, there’s something for everyone.

Whether you’d like a modern or old-world feel, plum rugs are a perfect choice for your decor. This rich color will add depth to your space and ground the furniture to make it more inviting and welcoming. It goes well with grey, beige, yellow, chartreuse, olive green, white, and black. We recommend choosing a palette of four to five colors to create cohesiveness in your space and complement your new purple rug.

For those who’d like extra inspiration, we’ve highlighted some of our favorite ways to use a plum area rug below:

Living Room and Bedroom

The living room and bedroom are excellent candidates for the luxurious and cozy atmosphere created by a dark plum rug. You might match your rug with wood tones, velvet textures, or modern lines depending on the interior style you prefer. For something a bit different, consider an eggplant area rug or a violet rug instead.

Outdoor

Plum goes well with natural colors and can fit perfectly on the patio. For example, a plum outdoor rug at the center of a deck seating area can make the space feel warm and welcoming. You can also use outdoor options if you'd like plum kitchen rugs or rugs for another busy area of the home for extra durability.

Bathroom

Since most bathrooms use bright colors like white, gold, and silver, plum bathroom rugs fit right in. A plum colored rug can make your bathroom feel sophisticated or playful, depending on how you use it. Try pairing plum with white, yellow, and gold for a palette that pops.

What’s Next?

Are you ready to find the perfect plum rugs for your room or area? If so, please check out our tips below to help you avoid common buyer’s mistakes:

• Measure Carefully: Measure the area you’re furnishing and reference a placement guide online to help pick the perfect rug size. The size determines how the rug makes your room look, and guessing can be costly. Don’t buy until you know whether you need a plum area rug that’s 5x7, 6x9, 8x10, or something else.
• Consider Durability: You want a rug that you can keep clean with your home’s current activity level. Buy a rug made from materials that can stand up to the traffic, soil, and moisture exposure in the room you’re furnishing.
• Get a Rug Pad: Pads can protect your rug’s pile and backing from sliding and friction damage. Add a rug pad to your order for the most extended life of your purchase.
