Rug Recs No. 5: Our Picks for Your Spaces!

December 30, 2021 by Elizabeth Wieck

What kind of rug are you looking for? This was the question we posed to our community on Instagram for our Rug Recs column, where our experts share hand-picked, personalized rug recommendations from our collection—for real customers!

We sell thousands of rugs here at Rugs USA, and we know that can be daunting to sort through. So we wanted to provide a place to give tailored picks and advice to help shoppers land on the perfect rug. From styles to go under a round dining table to kid- and pet-friendly picks, keep reading to see what customers are asking about—and what we recommend!

Need help picking out a rug? Follow us on Instagram, and check our Stories to submit your question for the next round!

Woven Charm

I’d love a hand woven rug! –@easternuniversal

Handmade rugs are some of our favorites. They add such beautiful, unique charm to a space with their perfectly imperfect weave—and lovely texture that simply can’t be beat. Here are our favorite woven styles! 

For a neutral take, try the Handwoven Jute Jagged Chevron rug (shown in off white in the image above), Hand Woven Jute with Wool Fringe rug, or the Textured Moroccan Jute rug. 

If a modern look is more your approach, take a look at our Wool Diamond rug, Irregular Parallel Bars rug, or the ​​Hand Braided Denim and Jute Striped Diamonds rug. 

And for something that veers a little more classic, we recommend our Wool Bordered rug, Tuscan Wool Diamond rug, or the Antique Persian rug.

Chic Neutrals

I’m looking for a rug that’s tan and black. –@klmakin

We love this combo! Black and tan paired together make for the most pleasing contrast—creating a chic look that feels like a fresh way to use neutrals. Here are a few of our faves we think will look great in your space! 

If ease of cleaning and durability is important to you, consider choosing one of our washable or outdoor rugs. We love our Aztec Prism Indoor/Outdoor rug in charcoal, Striped Banded Indoor/Outdoor rug in charcoal, and Violeta Timeless Medallion Washable rug for your tan and black color palette. 

We love these hues in a modern geometric pattern. And if that sounds like you, check out the Native Symbols rug (as seen in the photo above), Cerna Lattice rug, or the Jute Abstract rug. 

As for a timeless take? We’ve got you! Try the Seagrass with Border rug in black, Striped Jute rug, or the Jute Harlequin Trellis rug in black.

Modern and Durable

What are rugs that are neutral, modern, and kid/pet friendly? –@katielynndavis13

We have tons of styles that fit this bill. (So many, we know, that it can be hard to wade through them all!) Here are a few suggestions to give you some inspiration and get you started on finding that perfect rug! 

In terms of being kid- and pet-friendly, you really can’t get any better than our washable rugs. Any time a mess is made on the rug, all you have to do is roll it up, toss it in the washer and dryer, then roll it back out. Easy! Some of our favorite neutral and modern styles are the Tribal Banded Washable rug, Reverse Herringbone Washable rug, and Faded Abstract Washable rug. Check the rest of our washable styles out here!

Our collection of outdoor rugs also make especially durable picks for households with kids and pets. And they feel and look just as luxurious as their indoor counterparts. We love the Solid Braided Indoor/Outdoor rug, Textured Banded Indoor/Outdoor rug, and Indoor/Outdoor Trellis with Tassels rug. 

Other durable styles are made with materials like wool and synthetic fibers like polyester. We suggest taking a look at our wool Paddle rug (shown above!), wool and cotton Shaggy Crosshatch rug, and our polyester Textured Cable Trellis Tassel rug.

Warm and Inviting

We love a warm color scheme! Warm hues in shades of reds, golds, and browns feel so welcoming and inviting, and are such a natural complement to wood flooring. We’ve broken down our favorite warm-toned rugs by color here! 

If you’re looking a red rug, check out the Sabine Fringe rug (shown above), Dynast rug in red, and Abstract Jute-Blend rug. 

If you’re wanting an orange rug, we love our Tasseled Medallion rug in rust, Southwestern Medallion rug, and Fading Paradise Washable rug. 

And if you’re in the market for tans and browns, have a look at our Eldorado rug in beige, Faded Geometric Washable rug, and Carved Moroccan Diamonds rug.

A Dining Companion

What are some rugs that can go under a round dining table? –@jenkonicles

When it comes to finding a rug to pair with a round dining table, you have so many great options. We love choosing a round style to echo the shape of the rug, but you can also go with square and rectangular shapes as well. Here’s what we think will look amazing with your round table! 

If you’re concerned about spills and messes from food and drink, consider choosing a washable rug, which will be super easy to clean if said messes happen. Check out our Audrina Persian Washable rug, Diamond Mosaic Washable rug, and Tribal Mural Washable rug to see a few of our favorites.

A lot of our rugs come in round shapes (and multiple sizes at that!), but we think round jute styles look particularly great in the dining room, adding a note of polish and texture. Take a look at the Solid Braided Indoor/Outdoor rug, Jute Braided rug, and Jute Braided Saturn Border rug (seen above). 

If you don’t want a washable rug, but still want something that will help conceal spills, we recommend going with something that has pattern and a mix of colors, like our Ripple Waves rug, Flourishing Medallion rug, or Modern Minimalist rug.
