Why decorate with gray rugs?
Gray rugs are a neutral lover’s secret weapon. They have a bit more depth and color to them than creams and whites, while still feeling versatile enough to fit in with a more subdued color scheme—and even brighter color schemes, too! And because they do have that hint of color to them, gray rugs are great at concealing spots and stains—making them perfect for homes with kids and pets. Now, let’s get into our favorite gray rug picks!
