Inspiration To Style Your Pink Rug
Pink Rugs have been in and out of glossy fashion mags for decades, there are so many different shades, patterns and styles to choose from that you can be sure there is a pink rug out there for you.
If you have been eyeing up that pink rug in your local homeware shop or there is one sitting in your basket in an online home decor shop then take a look at some of our ideas and inspiration for your next purchase.
Like many non-neutral rugs, it can be a little bit of a big decision to buy a bold centerpiece rug, but when they are styled with a few other thoughtfully couloures accessories or softened with a pastel sofa then a pink rug can really unify a room.
Otherwise if you opt for a soter more blush pink rug then it can create a sense of tranquility and relaxation, perfect for bedrooms.
1. Clean and Simple
You don’t have to go big and bold when you’re on the hunt for a pink rug. Take a look at the shot above, a blush pink rug offsets the grey sofa beautifully, two pink cushions unify the look and it's topped off with a magazine holder - very 80’s. The simple design creates a stylish space with the pastel tones of the blush pink rug making the space feel warm and tranquil.
2. Accessorise
If you’re adding an accent of pink in your living room you don’t have to go all guns blazing and cover the place in pink. A blush pink rug with the addition of a few items dotted around your space will unite the room and not make the rug look out of place. Granted, the space above does have more than a few pink home accessories, however a pink cushion or plant pot will suffice.
3. Fluffy Rugs for Freezing Feet
When you take your shoes off after a particularly stressful hump day there is no better way to feel like you’re home than to stretch your toes on a pink fluffy rug. Style with a few mix match cushions on your sofa alongside another colour. Blue and pink like the image above works really well.

4. Curtains and Rugs
Rugs can sometimes be statement pieces that stand out from the rest of the room. However if you’re looking to build on your colour scheme try matching your curtains to your rug. The space above offers a wonderful insight into what you can achieve when you match a dusky pink rug to a set of curtains. The pinks unify the room and add a sense of calm.
5. Pink and Green - Always Be Seen
Use your indoor greenery to balance your pink rug and create a super cute living space or bedroom. The soft and inviting pastel pink really works well with some big leafy monsteras. Don’t be afraid to add different shades of pink to your room too.

6. Playroom or Living Room
If you have a living room that is pretty much a play room or a play room that you want to reestablish as a living room, then a pink carpet or rug could be the answer you are looking for. As a kid I loved to sit on our pink fluffy rug in our living room to play, add a cushion for a splash of extra pink.
7. Pink Sheepskin - Extra Cosy
A pink sheepskin rug for your bedroom will make you think why you haven’t carpeted your whole house in the stuff. The warmth that they add to your bedroom in unrivalled, the soft nature of a pink sheepskin rug will warm your toes in an instant, while its extra texture will add depth and make your room feel extra cosy.
8. Dark Pink
A dark pink rug will add some depth to your living room especially if you have a fairly light colour scheme. A dark pink rug is a great idea to add some darker colours to your room as it will take away minimal natural light compared to adding dark features on your wall. It also hides stains and any other spillages really well (especially red wine).

9. When Only Pink Will Do
If your daughter is nothing but pink or maybe you are the sort of person that feels special amongst pink. Why not go all out pink and add a pink fluffy rug to your array of pink. This sort of space above is perfect for the princess in your life, the rug makes the room even more cuter and inviting.
10. Soften Your Space.
If you have a particularly bold or colourful sofa then by adding a dusky pink rug will soften the colours and make your living room relaxing and calm. Depending on the size of your space, a large pink rug will unify the bold and bright colours of the sofa and add an extra element of warmth.
11. Pink And Grey All The Way
Two colours that were popularised fairly recently really do make your space look elegant and cosy at the same time. A pink and grey rug or interior was all the rage a couple of years ago but the colour scheme is definitely here to stay, the pastel tones of each colour make then spaces created feel calming yet modern, who says blush pink has to be for little girls!
12. Keep Those Toes Toasty
It’s all about keeping your toes warm in the morning. I don’t think there is anything worse than your alarm going off on a cold Tuesday morning and knowing your first steps will send icicles through your body. A rug that spans your bed and feels warm under foot is the way to start any morning. You can opt for rugs that slide right underneath or even just cover the side of the bed you use.

What sort of cushions match a pink rug
The obvious answer is pink cushions, there are many different shades of pink cushion available. A dark pink cushion behind a dusky pink cushion works really well and unites the room really well. You can also play around with various other colours of cushions, green goes well with certain shades of pink. You could also opt for a more neutral colour of cushion if your pink rug is quite bright, these will soften the feeling of the room and make the place feel more relaxing.
What is a pink rug made from
Rugs are made from many different materials. The pink rugs that are showcased by Woven Rosa are all made from sheep wool and woven on a back-strap loom in Peru.
Other materials include cotton and jute or wicker. There are many man made materials that you will see in many rugs too.
Each material has its pro’s and con’s, when you are ready to purchase a rug bear in mind the process in which the rug has been made, the colour and the feel of the finished product.
Pink rug dimensions
Pink rugs come in all sizes. Woven Rosa rugs are all handmade on back-strapped looms, they are unique pieces so the lengths and widths are all different. They range from 75cm - 190cm in Width to 150cm - 250cm in length.
There are many various pink rug dimensions and it all depends on how large your living space is. There are however some fairly common dimensions that rug makers,
(particularly machine-made) stick to for example there are many 200 x 300 large rugs and 300 x 400 large rugs. This isn’t always the case as different manufacturers and rug brands use slightly different ratios and measurements but generally, you will come across these measurements more frequently.
