Solid rugs

Make your favourite art piece a real eye-catcher

Everyone can use a plain rug in their home. In fact, there are many good reasons to put a rug in your home. First, it looks warm and welcoming. Secondly, a plain rug makes your furnishings come together and form a whole, and thirdly, you can use a rug to highlight certain pieces of furniture.

Solid rugs: low pile

There are pieces of furniture that deserve a little extra attention—a beautiful antique table, that new modern sofa, or that cool tray with that special vase. It is nice if attention is drawn to that specific piece and the eyes are not focused on the floor.
To achieve that, it’s best to choose a low-pile plain rug.

A rug in one colour will create a sense of calm in the room, focusing attention on the rest of the furnishings. You can further emphasise this feeling by placing a plain-coloured rug under the piece of furniture you want to draw attention to. This is a simple way to create a real pedestal for your masterpiece.

More advantages of a plain rug

Plain rugs have many other advantages. You can put them anywhere because a plain rug is easy to combine with the rest of your furnishings. Place a plain rug under the dining table to make it an inviting meeting place, or cover the cold bedroom floor with a plain rug for extra warm feet when you get up. Let your kids play on the floor in their nursery on a plain rug. Or put a rug in the hall, on the balcony or on the terrace.

While you might think that placing a rug makes a room look smaller and cosier, a rug can also make a room look much larger. If you let the lines of the rug follow the lines of the walls and ceiling, a room suddenly looks a lot more spacious.

Solid colours are anything but boring

One colour, isn’t that boring? No way! Rugs with a solid colour come in all shapes and sizes. They are made of different materials, such as jute, cotton or wool. And they come in all kinds of shapes. There are square rugs and round single-coloured rugs. Did you know that you can combine different rugs for a playful effect? For example, combine a round rug with a rectangular plain one.

Solid grey, red, yellow ochre… there’s plenty of choice!

A plain rug come in a variety of ways. You can go for natural colours like beige, white, brown or a plain grey. But you can also go for unusual colours like taupe, petrol or gold. Or opt for nice, bright colours: red, yellow or blue. Solid rugs are anything but boring.
