Unify your home decor with a plain rug

You can add a quick pop of colour to your living space or refine and complete your home decor theme with a bold, solid-colour area rug.

A plain rug will allow your imagination to run wild with bright, solid colours like pink, red, orange, green, blue, yellow, or even multi-coloured. Alternatively, if neutral vibes are more your style, opt for a statement piece in black, grey, brown, tan, or ivory. 

For a modern look, a white wide-striped rug is a go-to choice for adding a chic, contemporary geometric feel to your space. Looking for a cool, characterful nautical feel? Try a white-and-navy striped rug, and finish the look with some rustic wooden decorations. You can also go for something unexpected, like an unevenly striped rug, which is perfect for shaking things up and making your space stand out. 

Whether you’re restyling your living room or looking to make your dining room pop, our striped rugs are the perfect finishing touch for any living space. These pieces are simple and timeless, but they still pack a punch. 

Styling and placing striped rugs in your home

While they may look simple, striped rugs can dynamically transform a space, guiding the eye and adding depth to your existing interior decor. Here's how to style various types of striped rugs to create a beautiful final product. 

Living Rooms: Rugs with uneven stripes can break the monotony of a room and add an artistic flair. In a minimalist living room, an uneven striped rug in muted tones can introduce an element of surprise. For instance, a rug featuring thin and thick stripes side by side in different shades of grey can subtly elevate the room's design.

Bedrooms: The bedroom is a sanctuary, and a plush striped rug can add a touch of luxury. Opt for a rug with soft, wide stripes in calming colours like lavender and cream. Place it under the bed so it peeks out. This creates a soft, cosy feel when getting out of bed and adds extra depth to the room!

Dining Rooms: A dining room can handle a little drama. A striped rug with bold colour combinations — like deep navy and gold — can become the room's centrepiece. Ensure the rug is large enough so the dining chairs remain on it even when pulled out.

Hallways: Vertical stripes can elongate a space. In a narrow hallway, a runner with vertical stripes can give the illusion of length. A black-and-white vertical-striped runner, for instance, can add a classic touch to a contemporary home.

Kids' rooms: Opt for striped rugs in playful colours. A striped rug in alternating shades can add a touch of whimsy to the space without overwhelming it. 

Layering with striped rugs: Consider layering a smaller, boldly striped rug over a larger, solid-coloured or subtly patterned one. This creates depth and a unique style statement. For example, a vibrant red-and-orange striped rug can pop even more when layered over a larger beige or grey rug.

When styling with striped rugs, it's essential to consider the room's existing colour palette and decor. Stripes can either complement or contrast, but they should always enhance the overall feel of the space! 

FAQs about striped rugs

What's the difference between a striped rug and a plain rug?

A striped rug features contrasting bands of colour running across the design, while a plain rug is a single solid colour throughout. Both styles work well as neutral bases that let furniture and artwork take centre stage.

Are striped rugs suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes. Most of our striped and plain rugs are power-loomed from synthetic fibres, which hold up well in hallways, living rooms and dining areas.

What materials are your striped rugs made from?

Our range spans synthetics and wool. Synthetic striped rugs are hard-wearing and easy to maintain, while our wool options add extra softness and durability for bedrooms and living spaces.

Can I add a non-slip pad to a striped rug?

Yes, simply select "Select Pad" on the product page before adding your rug to the cart. A pad helps keep the rug in place on hard flooring, especially in hallways and high-traffic zones.

Which rooms are best suited to a striped rug?

Striped rugs work well in living rooms and hallways, where a simple pattern helps balance busier furniture or wallpaper.
