Choosing the right shade of blue rug
Blue is calming and easy to live with, but each shade behaves differently. Pale blues open up a room and feel fresh, while navy adds depth and hides everyday wear. Start with the light in your room and the floor underneath.
| Shade | Example designs | Feel | Works best |
|---|---|---|---|
| Navy | Atlas Navy Berber Style Rug, Cosset Navy Faux Fur Rug | Rich and grounding; shows less wear | Living rooms, hallways, oak or pale floors |
| Mid and denim blue | Edale Blue Traditional Tribal Rug, Caravan Blue Hand-Tufted Wool Rug, Fjord Blue Geometric Rug | Classic and versatile | Dining rooms, studies, family rooms |
| Duck egg and powder blue | Matlock Duck Egg Blue Traditional Medallion Rug, Glacier Powder Blue Geometric Rug | Soft and airy | Bedrooms, nurseries, north-facing rooms |
| Aqua | Amalfi, Capri, Menorca, Palma and Seville outdoor rugs | Bright and summery | Patios, balconies, garden rooms |
| Grey & blue | Eden Grey & Blue Textured Tribal Rug, Severn Grey & Blue Textured Tribal Rug | Muted, easy two-tone | Grey schemes that need a colour link |

What size blue rug do you need?
| Size | Where it works |
|---|---|
| 60 x 110 cm, 66 x 100 cm, 80 x 150 cm | Bedsides, doorways, in front of a fireplace or a reading chair |
| 120 x 170 cm | Small living rooms, studies, single bedrooms, a small patio |
| 150 x 200 cm, 160 x 230 cm | Most living rooms, with the front legs of the sofa on the rug |
| 200 x 290 cm, 200 x 300 cm | Large living rooms, corner sofas, under a dining table |
| 240 x 340 cm | Open-plan rooms where the rug sits under all the seating |
| 60 x 230, 66 x 200, 80 x 300 cm runners | Hallways, landings, kitchens |
Sizes vary by design, so check the options on each rug. In a living room, aim for a rug that reaches under the front legs of every seat. See our blue living room rugs for room-size picks.
What colours go with a blue rug?
| Pairing | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Blue and white, blue and cream | Fresh and coastal; a cream & blue vintage design softens white walls |
| Grey blue | Grey sofas and walls with a grey & blue rug for a calm, low-contrast room; see grey rugs |
| Blue and orange, blue and rust | Complementary colours: rust cushions or a tan leather chair against navy |
| Green and blue | Plants, sage walls and natural wood with aqua or duck egg |
| Blue and beige | Beige & light blue designs warm up a blue scheme on oak floors |
A simple rule: if your sofa is dark, choose a lighter blue rug, and if your sofa is pale, navy gives the contrast.
Caring for your blue rug
Vacuum regularly on a low setting, and turn off the beater bar on shaggy and faux fur rugs. Blot spills straight away with a clean white cloth, then spot clean with cold water and a little mild detergent. Avoid soaking, and use a professional cleaner for a deeper clean. For outdoor rugs, shake or brush off dirt and bring the rug in during long spells of wet weather.
Blue Rugs rugs: your questions answered
What size blue rug do I need for my living room?
For most living rooms, 160 x 230 cm sits under the coffee table with the front legs of the sofa on the rug. In larger or open-plan rooms, choose 200 x 290 cm or 240 x 340 cm. Smaller rooms suit 120 x 170 or 150 x 200 cm.
Should my rug be darker or lighter than my sofa?
Contrast usually looks best. A navy rug grounds a pale grey, cream or white sofa, while a lighter duck egg or powder blue rug lifts a dark sofa. If you want a quieter look, a two-tone grey & blue design bridges the two.
What colours go well with a navy rug?
Navy pairs well with white, cream and grey for a classic look, and with rust, mustard or tan leather for warmth. Brass, natural wood and green plants also sit well against navy.
Do you sell blue outdoor rugs?
Yes. Our Alfresco range is a flatweave outdoor rug, and five designs come in aqua: Amalfi, Capri, Menorca, Palma and Seville. They suit patios, balconies and garden rooms.
Are the blue Persian rugs genuine?
No. Our Persian and oriental designs are Persian-style: machine-made reproductions of traditional medallion and tribal patterns. You get the classic look at a fraction of the price of an antique original.
Can I use a blue rug with underfloor heating?
Many people do. Use an underlay made for underfloor heating and check your heating manufacturer's guidance before laying any rug. On hard floors, an underlay also helps keep the rug in place.
How much is delivery, and can I return a blue rug?
Delivery is free to UK addresses on every blue rug. If the shade does not suit your room, you have free 14-day returns, so you can see it in your own light first.
