Striped rugs help you find the complementary style, colors, or textures you want for your home. Whether it’s blending different weaves, patterns, or shapes, a striped rug smooths over all your qualms and offers the best of both worlds. From hardwood floors to outdoor patios, striped rugs bring a cornucopia of elements into your space and help you personalize it even more. Professional pinstripes might make a home office pop, while thick chevrons add a soft transition to a plush bedroom. Tired of the monotony of endless beige carpet? Mix it up with a striped area rug that introduces multiple colors and textures into your room.
Stripes come in more styles than a simple stack of strips or a pattern that a beloved Muppet might wear on a children’s show. Banded rugs introduce patterns, geometric designs, or different textures into a room. Carefully usher in pops of color to a room of neutrals, mix up the monotony of shapes with stripes of lines and angles, or add a daring contrast to the theme of your space. From contemporary design to a more traditional mindset, striped rugs are versatile and excellent choices.
Types of Stripes: From Elegant to Funky Striped Area Rugs
Stripes fit all styles, from well-defined themes to simple rooms where you put all your favorite items. Striped area rugs pull together all elements in a space and make them work. They bring team management and a sense of continuity to any room. If you’re looking to make mismatched wood, old tile, or outdated paint jobs look a little better (without spending all that extra cash), a striped rug can help you refresh an old style while being kind to your budget.
Pinstriped rugs: Perfect for home offices or bedrooms, the pinstriped rug, with its delicate lines and structured pattern, makes even a playroom a little more grown up. Pinstripes belong on suits, beach towels, and everywhere in your home. Lay down a Flatwoven Pinstripes with Tassels Area Rug in blue and see how well it works for your space.
Contemporary striped rugs: Abstract ideas and imprecise measurements make a room cozy, thought-provoking, and, most importantly, yours. Rugs like this Wool Striped Area Rug in black bring a bold color into your room’s theme without overwhelming the delicate color balance.
Chevron striped rugs: Thick, reliable chevron stripes can decorate an indoor or outdoor space, depending on your needs. They can incorporate shades of neutral, pastel, or bold colors classically, but they can also be bold and daring in an eclectic style. Try this Chevron Stripes Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug in black for size.
Banded rugs: Rugs that follow an indigenous or tribal pattern are often banded, meaning they combine different patterns or textures to create a unique look. If you want to add more texture or geometry to your decor, these are the right rugs.
Zebra stripes: Animal stripes make sense for the zebra, and they might even make sense for your room! Simple black and white stripes in an exotic flair add a dash of adventure to your space. Try on one of our Black Zebra Stripes Area Rugs and see where the safari takes you.
Mix It Up with Textured Stripes
Striped rugs look good in all textures, especially if you need a contrast to a smooth hardwood floor or a concrete floor in an open loft concept. Minimalist designs thrive from a striped and textured rug, with their complexity that still complements straight lines and block colors. Choose a thick, chunky knit that takes two or more textures, like denim or wool, and lay it under your coffee table or leave it on its own to make a statement.
Below are some ideas that blend well in a contemporary or traditional room.
Striped jute rugs: Jute rugs bring beautiful natural colors into any space. Can’t choose a shade or a weave? Invest in striped jute for your bedroom, living room, or dining space.
Shag striped rugs: Slip onto a blissfully soft shag rug that adds character and class to a space, from the bathroom to the mudroom. Rugs USA even has washable striped shags like this Addison Wool Pinstripe Washable Area Rug in ivory that comes with modern style and modern convenience.
Outdoor striped rugs: Stripes belong everywhere, especially outdoors, for everyone to see. A classic striped rug can help decorate your space for all seasons, looking good in rain, wind, or snow. Weather won’t ruin those stripes either with an outdoor rug from Rugs USA.
Braided rugs: Sturdy, timeless braided rugs can come in multiple stripes of colors to make your space unique and bright. Like a jolt of caffeine, wake up your eyes and your senses with a striped braided rug like this Multi Catalina Fiesta Striped Area Rug.
Traditional Striped Rugs vs. Contemporary Striped Rugs
Striped rugs have a reputation for bringing simple elegance into any home or commercial space with their symmetrical patterns and often well-matched colors. Regency striped rugs or striated border rugs introduce 180 and 90-degree angles, helping to point visitors and family members in the right direction. These rugs blend seamlessly with your home’s chosen decor, whether you have a farmhouse kitchen or a classical living room for entertaining.
In contemporary design, stripes bring an element of abstract art with their chunky colors and their blunt shapes. Artists and designers let the line of the stripe wander to join in with the rest of a contemporary design, blending well with the overall look but still holding its own. The colors themselves symbolize different things for different people–for example, white and black might evoke some concepts of temporary vs. permanent.
