Our blue rugs

The blue rug is one of the most sought-after strong colours in decorating today. Associated with calm, elegance and depth, it gives a room visual structure while creating a soothing atmosphere: scientifically, it is the most relaxing colour for the human eye. It lets you commit to a decorative point of view without tipping into the eccentric.

The shades of blue and the moods they create

Each blue creates a very different atmosphere:

Navy / midnight blue: deep, classic, highly sophisticated. Ideal in a formal living room or an adult bedroom
Teal: a blend of blue and green, on trend for several years now, and warm with it
Petrol blue: dark and deep, almost black, for a very contemporary cocooning mood
Sky blue / glacier blue: light and luminous, Scandinavian or coastal in style
Royal blue / cobalt: brilliant and assertive, a signature effect
Klein blue: saturated and artistic, for bold interiors

Which colours go with a blue rug?

Blue pairs with a great many shades:

Blue + beige/cream: a calming classic, very coastal
Blue + white: maritime and Scandinavian freshness
Blue + mustard yellow: energetic and fifties, very much of the moment
Blue + grey: quiet sophistication, contemporary
Navy + terracotta: a magnificent contrast of warm and cool
Blue + copper or brass: understated luxury, very Art Deco
Teal + pale wood: a warm Scandinavian mood

Which style of blue rug to choose?

It depends on the mood you want: a blue Persian rug brings a classic, refined soul. A blue and white geometric pattern energises a contemporary living room. A faded blue vintage rug creates boho-chic charm. A blue oriental gives an entrance or a hallway real character. A petrol blue plain textured rug is sophistication itself in a large living room.

Which room?

Blue suits the rooms where you are looking for calm and depth. In the bedroom, it helps sleep, a recognised effect of blue tones. In the living room, it structures the space and creates a sophisticated atmosphere. In a study or library, it supports concentration. In the dining room, a deep blue under a large table gives a real "intimate restaurant" feel.

Is a navy rug too dark?

Navy is dark but not necessarily heavy: it all depends on its surroundings. In a bright room with pale or white walls, a large navy rug brings instant elegance. In a dark room, it can weigh the atmosphere down too far. To balance a navy:

Pale tones on the walls and ceiling: white, cream, beige
Contrasting textiles: cream cushions, a beige throw
Several light sources: a floor lamp, side lamps
Touches of brass or copper: they warm the whole thing up

Well balanced, navy is one of the most elegant colours in interiors.
