Using a Taupe Area Rug

In today's sleek interiors, taupe rugs are famous for their ability to complement a wide range of colors. This beautiful color is fun and easy to decorate with, and it's a soothing choice for floors from the bathroom to the living area.

Our collection features a sizable selection of taupe rugs from some of the hottest designers like Surya, Safavieh, and Jaipur Living. You're sure to find the perfect fit for your home, whether you're looking for a primitive, traditional, or modern design.

When choosing a taupe area rug, think about how you want the rest of the room to look and feel. This will help you pick the best design and shade for your space. If you'd like further inspiration, we've highlighted some of our favorite ways that professional designers use taupe rugs below:

Living Room

Try using a black and taupe rug in the living room to capitalize on the combination of a warm neutral like taupe with a true neutral like black. This is the perfect way to add a touch of black to your space without it being overpowering, and you'll find designs in almost any style you could imagine.

Bedroom

A taupe bedroom rug adds a hint of warmth to this cozy room while leaving space for other colors to do the talking. You might choose something luxurious, like a taupe shag rug, if the space is low traffic. For a high traffic area or one that's exposed to shoe traffic, something thinner and more durable would be better.

Bathroom

Set a spa mood with a taupe bathroom rug surrounded by grey, white, tan, and other earthy or neutral colors. Taupe can make your bathroom feel more sophisticated and modern, especially when you pair it with a soothing accent color like blue.

Kitchen

A taupe runner rug could be perfect for adding life to your kitchen while protecting your joints from hard surfaces. Pick a rug with an interesting texture or design to draw the eye and make your kitchen more inviting. Don't forget to add a quality rug pad for cushion and joint protection in the areas where you stand to prepare food or clean after meals.

What's Next?

The ideas above are just some of the many ways to use taupe rugs in your home. If you're ready to find the perfect taupe area rug for you, remember to consider the points below to make the best purchase:

• Size: Do you know if you need a taupe area rug that's 5x8, 6x9 , 8x10, or maybe larger? Don't guess at the size you need. Measure the room carefully and consult placement guides to make the best decision. Try using masking tape on the floor to picture how your rug will look to know if it's the right size for your space.
• Thickness and material: Take traffic levels, moisture exposure, shoe exposure, and clearance under doors into consideration when picking the thickness and material.
• -Rug pad: A quality rug pad will prevent sliding and friction damage, both of which could otherwise cause early wear to your rug's backing. Add a pad to your order to protect your purchase from day one.
