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.

Shade	What it looks like	Example designs
Terracotta	Clay-pot orange, earthy and slightly pink	Aspen, Sorrel, Edale, Regent Terracotta, Seville
Burnt orange	Deeper and richer, with a retro edge	Matlock Burnt Orange, Twist Burnt Orange
Rust	Brown-orange, muted and vintage	Hawthorn 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.

Orange rugs by style

Range	Look and feel	Orange designs	Range from
Folklore	Washed vintage traditional patterns with a softly worn finish and gentle texture	Aspen, Sorrel, Hawthorn	£29
Ashbourne	Crisp Heriz-style medallion and Kazak-style tribal diamonds in a matte pile	Matlock, Edale	£70
Regent	A Keshan-style Persian-style medallion with an ivory floral border	Regent Terracotta	£65
Groove	Deep, glossy carved shag with retro waves and swirls, 160 x 230 cm	Samba Terracotta, Twist Burnt Orange, Twist Terracotta	£158
Alfresco	Flatweave rugs designed for outdoor use, with a sisal-look two-tone weave	Amalfi, Capri, Menorca, Palma, Seville	£37

The traditional designs are Persian-style and oriental-style: machine-made reproductions of classic patterns, not genuine Persian rugs. That keeps orange rugs in this collection from £29. Browse Folklore washed vintage rugs, Regent Persian-style rugs or, for the garden, Alfresco outdoor rugs.

What colours go with an orange rug?

Pair orange with	The effect
Cream and beige	Soft and sunny; the cream and orange look is the easiest start
Navy, teal or duck egg blue	Orange and blue are opposites, so they make each other glow
Grey	Grey and orange feels modern and stops terracotta looking too rustic
Blush and dusty pink	Orange and pink together are warm, playful and very current
Sage and olive green	Earthy and natural, like a Mediterranean garden

Repeat the orange in a cushion, a throw or a plant pot so the rug feels part of the scheme.

What size orange rug do you need?

Size	Where it works
66 x 100 cm	Doorways, bedsides, in front of a kitchen sink
80 x 150 cm	Beside a bed, a small entrance, a balcony
120 x 170 or 150 x 200 cm	Small living rooms, reading corners, bistro sets
160 x 230 cm	Most living rooms and patio seating areas
200 x 290, 200 x 300 or 240 x 340 cm	Large lounges, dining tables, big decks
60 x 230, 66 x 200 or 66 x 230 cm runners	Hallways, landings and galley kitchens

A terracotta runner warms up a long hall that gets little daylight.

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.
