  • Dark colors (black, deep blue) add contrast and depth
  • Warm tones (red, orange, yellow) create a cozy, inviting feel
  • Cool tones (blue, green, grey) bring calm and balance
  • Multicolor rugs help tie multiple elements together

Tip: Start with your furniture and wall color, then choose a rug that complements or contrasts it.
