29 Colorful Muted rugs I’m Loving Right Now

September 2, 2021

How do you add color to a neutral room? Muted area rugs! I’ve rounded up 29+ colorful (but muted) area rugs that I’m loving right now. I hope this list inspires you to take a chance at trying something new in your home.

If I had to choose one element of a room that can change the whole vibe of a space, a RUG would be at the top of my list!

Why, you ask?

Rugs have the ability to add not only provide a cozy footing to a space, but also a sense of grounding and definition.

In open-concept homes, for example, a rug can help define a space.

In minimal homes, a great rug can bring a splash of excitement without adding more “stuff.”

Think about how a room with not a lot of pattern or color can be brought to life with a statement rug.

How to add color to a room

Over the years I’ve had many clients whose comfort levels alone wouldn’t stretch past neutral. “I want to be more adventurous, but I don’t know how,” they would say.

My first go-to with this type of client is to search out colorful (but muted) area rugs that will be the perfect balance of neutral and color. Something that will bring vibrance to a space without being overwhelming.

This gentle nudge of color often produces one of two results. It either satisfies the client’s desire for a pop of color, or it gives them the push they need to try more.

If you are one who needs that gentle nudge, try one of these lightly colored rugs to see if it satisfies.

Perhaps you are the type that loves color but needs a less defined pattern. One of these abstract rugs may be more your style.

Are you trying to make an older home more modern? Try these traditional patterns with a modern color scheme.

Loving that eclectic modern boho look? Any of these will be a home run!

Want to add a pop of color to an outdoor space? Check these out!

Feeling brave enough to make a bold statement in your home? Here are some rugs that add a bit more vibrancy.

Are you ready to take a leap into more color in your home? Let me know in the comments what rug you choose to make it happen. I can’t wait to see how your spaces transform!!

    I am an area/room size rug addict, and love all your selections and suggestions.
    I love the cozy warmth and depth they add. to any room.
    I do tend to go for stronger colors in my 1910 Upstate (Syracuse/Utica/Rome and smaller towns, villages and cities like Oneida- NOT the Hudson Valley as so many decor mags feature as upstate) home- I love my Howell Collection from Amazon, very reasonably priced when I found them, and add so much richness to my old pine floors and plaster over horsehair walls. Done forever with neutrals., lol.

I’m pretty darn proud of this kid who had a visi I’m pretty darn proud of this kid who had a vision for his Lego’s and then decided he wanted to help with the whole project. 

It’s hard to get this one to open up sometimes but get a screwdriver or a level in his hands and he becomes an open book. He’s my project buddy and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

What are some things that help your quiet kids to open up?

More photos of this space plus the full DIY open shelf tutorial is up on the blog..

Arizona Kitchen Reveal!!! The best part of vacat Arizona Kitchen Reveal!!! 

The best part of vacation rental ownership is that it really stretches me as a designer. The color/pattern mixing. The balance of purpose and fun. 

This is the eucalif wallpaper in sunset by @justinablakeney @thejungalow and if gave our kitchen the perfect WOW factor. 

Who’s ready to book a stay @hautehaciendaaz ?!?
