1Unleash Warmth and Energy

Red rugs are more than just floor coverings; they're statements. They bring a sense of energy, passion, and warmth to a living room, especially appreciated during those long Canadian winters. The colour red evokes feelings of comfort and connection, making your living room a more inviting space for family and friends.

Whether you're aiming for a bold, modern look or a more traditional, cozy feel, a red rug provides a versatile foundation to build your décor around. Consider pairing it with neutral furniture to let the rug truly shine, or complement it with other warm tones for a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.

2Choose the Right Red Tone

The beauty of red lies in its versatility. From deep, luxurious burgundy to bright, cheerful scarlet, there's a shade of red to suit every taste and style. Consider the existing colour palette of your living room when choosing the right red tone.

A deep, rich red can add sophistication to a room with dark wood furniture, while a brighter red can inject energy into a space with neutral walls. Don't be afraid to experiment with different shades and textures to find the perfect balance.

Complete Styling Guide

Expert tips for placing and styling your rug

Room-by-Room Placement

Living Room

Center your rug under the coffee table with all seating touching or on the rug. For open floor plans, use the rug to define the conversation area.

Bedroom

Place a large rug under the bed extending 2-3 feet on each side, or use runners on either side for a cozy morning landing spot.

Dining Room

Ensure the rug extends 24-30 inches beyond the table on all sides so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.

Nursery

A padded CloudMat in the center creates a safe play zone. Position away from cribs but close to seating areas for tummy time.

Color & Pattern Matching

Neutral Furniture

Bold patterned or richly colored rugs add personality. Try geometric patterns or saturated jewel tones as focal points.

Colorful Decor

Solid neutral rugs in cream, grey, or beige provide visual rest and prevent the space from feeling overwhelming.

Modern Spaces

Abstract patterns or minimalist solid rugs in muted tones complement clean lines and contemporary furniture.

Traditional Rooms

Oriental patterns, medallions, or classic motifs in warm colors enhance heritage and antique furniture pieces.

Pro Designer Tips

  • When in doubt, size up. An undersized rug is the #1 decorating mistake.
  • Use painters tape to mock up dimensions before purchasing.
  • Layer rugs for added texture - place a smaller patterned rug over a larger neutral base.
  • Rotate your rug 180° every 6 months to ensure even wear and sun exposure.

Buying Guide

Choosing the perfect red rug for your living room can feel overwhelming.

Choosing the perfect red rug for your living room can feel overwhelming. This guide breaks down key considerations to help you select a rug that complements your style and meets your needs.

Consider these factors to make an informed and satisfying purchase.

1

Size and Placement

Before you fall in love with a particular rug, measure your living room carefully. Consider the size of your furniture and the overall layout of the space. A rug that's too small can make the room feel disjointed, while a rug that's too large can overwhelm the space.

Ideally, your red rug should be large enough to anchor your furniture, with at least the front legs of your sofa and chairs resting on the rug. Leaving a border of exposed flooring around the edges of the room can also help to define the space.

2

Material and Durability

The material of your red rug will affect its durability, feel, and overall appearance. Consider the level of foot traffic in your living room and choose a material that can withstand wear and tear. Wool is a classic choice for its durability and luxurious feel, but synthetic materials like nylon and polypropylene are also excellent options for high-traffic areas.

Think about how the rug will feel underfoot. Do you prefer a plush, soft texture or a more firm, durable surface? CloudMat's 3cm foam core provides exceptional comfort regardless of the cover material.

3

Style and Pattern

Red rugs come in a wide variety of styles and patterns, from traditional Persian designs to modern geometric prints. Choose a style that complements your existing décor and reflects your personal taste. A bold pattern can add visual interest to a neutral room, while a more subtle pattern can create a sense of understated elegance.

Consider the colour palette of your living room when choosing a pattern. If you have a lot of busy patterns in your furniture or walls, a solid red rug may be a better choice. Conversely, if your room is mostly neutral, a patterned red rug can add a pop of personality.

4

Care and Maintenance

Consider the ease of cleaning and maintenance when choosing a red rug, especially if you have children or pets. Some materials are more stain-resistant than others, and some require professional cleaning. CloudMat rugs are designed for easy care, with removable, machine-washable covers.

Regular vacuuming can help to prevent dirt and debris from building up in the rug fibers. Spot clean any spills or stains immediately to prevent them from setting. With proper care, your red rug will stay looking beautiful for years to come. The machine washable covers of CloudMat rugs make this incredibly easy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best red rug styles for a living room in Canada?
For Canadian homes, consider the overall style. Modern homes might suit a bold, geometric red rug, while traditional homes benefit from richer patterns like Persian or Oriental. Think about the colour scheme – a deep burgundy complements dark wood, while a brighter red works with neutral tones. And remember, CloudMat offers a variety of styles to match any décor!
Are red rugs a good idea for a small living room?
Yes, a red rug can work in a small living room! Opt for a lighter shade of red or a rug with a subtle pattern to avoid overwhelming the space. Ensure the rug is appropriately sized, leaving some exposed flooring around the edges. A CloudMat rug in a smaller size can add warmth without making the room feel cramped.
How do I clean a red rug without fading the colour?
Always check the manufacturer's instructions first. For most red rugs, vacuum regularly to prevent dirt buildup. Spot clean spills immediately with a mild detergent and water. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can cause fading. The beauty of a CloudMat rug is its machine-washable cover, ensuring a thorough and safe clean!
What colours go well with a red rug in a living room?
Red is a versatile colour that pairs well with many shades. Neutrals like grey, beige, and white create a balanced and sophisticated look. For a bolder statement, consider pairing red with teal, navy blue, or gold accents. The key is to create a harmonious balance that reflects your personal style.
Are CloudMat red rugs safe for children and pets?
Absolutely! CloudMat rugs are OEKO-TEX certified, meaning they are free from harmful chemicals and safe for both children and pets. The non-slip rubber backing also provides a secure surface, preventing slips and falls. Plus, the machine-washable cover makes cleaning up messes a breeze, ensuring a healthy and happy home for your loved ones.
