Discover blue oriental rugs

Design classics that hail from various countries such as Turkey, India, and Afghanistan, blue oriental rugs are timeless. Popular styles include Afghan, Berber, Gabbeh, Kilim and Nain carpets.

These rugs are made from durable and soft materials like wool and synthetic fibres, and can be placed in any room of the house. Make sure to take care of your rug with regular hoovering, and clean up any spills ASAP. Always use a white cloth and cold water, and gently dab any marks.

How to decorate with a blue oriental rug

Many blue oriental rugs come with a beautiful, intricate pattern; eye-catching and bold, they are the perfect centrepiece for your space. Traditional patterns work well in period homes, especially when paired with antique furniture, wooden floors, and rich heritage wall colours. They can also be used to add an element of classic style to modern homes, juxtaposed with contemporary furnishings.

When you get your carpet home, placement is everything. A blue oriental rug for your living room should generally be placed in front of your sofa and underneath your coffee table. It should be big enough to not feel overwhelmed by the surrounding furniture, and it’s always best to aim for symmetry, with it placed right in the middle of your room.

A blue oriental runner rug is great for narrow spaces such as hallways; choose a hard-wearing or washable style for high-traffic areas. They’re also very useful for awkward spaces such as in between a sofa and coffee table, or in between a kitchen counter and an island. Measure carefully to make sure you choose the right length for your room.

Blue oriental rugs are a great addition to any space. Choose your size, style, and material, follow our decorating tips, and give your new addition pride of place in your home.
