Colorful Rugs

Our colorful rugs mix two or more colors in one design, from maximalist florals to jungle animals. Prints include two-tone Persian medallions, purple and pastel florals and plaids, mostly machine-washable indoor rugs with a non-slip backing in 2x3 to 10x14 plus runners. Patio rugs and seven Wash Free styles are mixed in.

Maximalist, Pastel and Two-Tone

Maximalist styles pack florals, birds and jungle animals edge to edge in deep green, navy and pink, and they hide crumbs and paw prints well. Pastel styles, like the bow, butterfly and lilac florals, keep color soft for bedrooms and nurseries.

Two-tone Persian medallions in green and beige or red and navy read calmer in a living room. This page is also where the purple styles live, mostly florals and butterflies.

How to Style a Colorful Rug

Pick the rug first and pull the room's other colors from it: one shade for pillows, another for art or a throw. Keep large furniture solid, so the rug stays the one busy surface in the room.

If the walls and sofa are neutral, a colorful rug can be as bold as you like; if the room already has pattern, a two-tone style is easier to live with.

Indoor and Patio Styles

Indoor rugs go in the washing machine on a cold, gentle cycle without bleach. The seven Wash Free styles let spills bead up and wipe off, so they need washing far less often.

Thirteen of the 17 patio rugs, including the Coralla, Calira and Solara florals, are machine washable. The four reversible rugs are made to sweep or hose off instead.

Colorful Rug FAQs

Are colorful rugs currently in style?

Yes, mixed-color rugs are a common way to add personality, especially florals, plaids and vintage prints in deep or warm tones. Pastels are popular too, mostly in bedrooms and nurseries.

Do colorful rugs make rooms look smaller?

Not by themselves, since size and contrast matter more than color. In a small room, a rug whose main color matches the walls or sofa keeps the floor from looking busy.

What is the maximalist design style?

Maximalism layers bold color, pattern and collected objects instead of keeping a room spare. A maximalist rug, like the dense florals with birds or jungle animals here, often sets the palette for everything else.
