Bold or soft? Two ways to choose multi coloured rugs

A multicoloured rug is any design where several colours share the stage rather than one dominating. That covers two very different looks, and knowing which you want makes choosing much easier.

That gives you the collected, well-travelled look at an everyday price. Explore Prism colourful carved rugs, the overdyed Samarkand vintage rugs and the warm boho designs in Canyon.

How to style a multicoloured rug without clashing

  • Pick two colours from the rug and repeat them in cushions, a throw or artwork. The rest of the rug's colours then read as detail.
  • Keep big furniture calm. A grey, cream, navy or natural wood sofa lets a rainbow rug shine.
  • Match the mood, not every shade. Bright rugs suit clean, modern rooms; faded vintage multicolour suits wood, plants and warm whites.
  • Let the ground colour guide you. Prism designs on black feel graphic and grown-up; Samarkand's slate grey grounds sit easily with grey sofas.

Colourful rugs are a natural fit for children's spaces; see our kids' rugs for more ideas.

Looking after a colourful rug

Vacuum regularly on a low setting, working with the pile. Blot spills straight away with a clean white cloth, then spot clean gently with cold water and a little mild detergent, testing first on a hidden corner. Busy patterns are very forgiving of everyday marks. Keep rugs out of strong, direct sun where you can, and turn them now and then so any fading is even. On hard floors use a good rug underlay, and with underfloor heating choose an underlay made for it and check your heating manufacturer's guidance.

Multi Coloured Rugs rugs: your questions answered

What counts as a multi coloured rug?

Any rug where several colours share the design rather than one colour dominating. That includes bright rainbow geometrics as well as faded vintage patterns with many soft tones.

Will a multicoloured rug clash with my furniture?

Not if you keep large furniture calm and repeat two colours from the rug in cushions or art. Grey, cream, navy and natural wood all work well with colourful rugs.

Which multicoloured rugs are best for a kids' room or playroom?

Bright geometric designs such as Cockatoo, Hummingbird and Kingfisher are cheerful and hide everyday marks well. A 120 x 170 cm or 133 x 133 cm size suits most playrooms.

Are your vintage multicoloured rugs genuine antique or Persian rugs?

No. Samarkand and Folklore designs are oriental-style and Persian-style: machine-made reproductions with an overdyed or washed finish. You get the vintage look at an everyday price.

Do you sell a multi coloured hallway runner?

Yes. Several designs come in runner sizes including 60 x 230, 60 x 240, 66 x 200 and 66 x 230 cm.

Do you sell multicoloured geometric rugs?

Yes. Prism is our rainbow geometric range, with chevrons, argyle diamonds, stripes, hexagons and harlequin triangles in a carved pile.

How much is delivery, and can I return my rug?

Delivery is free to UK addresses on every multi coloured rug. If the colours are not right for your room, you have free 14-day returns.
