Terracotta, burnt orange or rust: choosing orange rugs

Orange is a warm, sociable colour, and the deeper tones are surprisingly easy to live with. They sit naturally with wood, linen, plants and cream walls, and they make a north-facing room feel warmer.

ShadeWhat it looks likeExample designs
TerracottaClay-pot orange, earthy and slightly pinkAspen, Sorrel, Edale, Regent Terracotta, Seville
Burnt orangeDeeper and richer, with a retro edgeMatlock Burnt Orange, Twist Burnt Orange
RustBrown-orange, muted and vintageHawthorn Rust

Most of our orange rugs are terracotta, so they work as a warm accent rather than a shock of colour. For more of this shade, see all terracotta rugs.

Looking after an orange rug

Vacuum regularly on a low setting, without a beater bar on shaggy designs. Blot spills straight away with a clean white cloth, then spot clean gently with cold water and a little mild detergent. Outdoor Alfresco rugs can be brought in or rolled up and stored dry when not in use. Indoors, a good rug underlay keeps the rug in place on hard floors, and with underfloor heating choose an underlay made for it and check your heating manufacturer's guidance.

Orange Rugs rugs: your questions answered

Is terracotta the same as orange?

Terracotta is a member of the orange family: an earthy, clay-like orange with a hint of pink or brown. It is softer than bright orange, which is why it is easier to live with every day.

What colours go with an orange rug?

Cream and beige are the easiest partners. Navy and teal make orange glow, grey keeps it modern, and blush pink or sage green give a warm, natural mix.

Do you sell orange rugs for outdoors?

Yes. Our Alfresco range includes five terracotta flatweave rugs designed for outdoor use on patios, decks and balconies. Bring them in or store them dry when not in use.

Are your terracotta traditional rugs genuine Persian rugs?

No. Designs such as Regent Terracotta, Aspen and Sorrel are Persian-style: machine-made reproductions of traditional patterns. You get the classic look at an everyday price.

What size orange rug do I need for my living room?

Most living rooms suit 160 x 230 cm, with the front sofa legs on the rug. Larger rooms or dining tables suit 200 x 290 cm or bigger.

Do you sell orange runners?

Yes, several designs come as runners, including 60 x 230, 66 x 200 and 66 x 230 cm, for hallways and landings.

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

Delivery is free to UK addresses on every orange rug. If the shade is not right in your room, you have free 14-day returns.
