Choosing a red rug: traditional, vintage or modern
Red is the classic colour of the traditional rug, and it still works best when it has a pattern to carry it. A deep, patterned red feels warm and rich; a bright plain red feels bold and modern. Decide which mood you want, then pick a style.
| Style | Example designs | Look | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Persian-style and oriental-style | Matlock Red Traditional Medallion Rug, Richmond Red Traditional Medallion Rug, Esher Red Traditional Oriental Rug | Central medallions and borders in deep red | Dining rooms, period living rooms, studies |
| Faded vintage | Florence Red Distressed Persian-Style Rug, Holly Red Vintage Tribal Rug, Ivy Red Vintage Tribal Rug, Elder Cream & Red Vintage Distressed Rug | Washed, softer reds with a worn-in feel | Relaxed living rooms, hallways, kitchens |
| Classic damask and tribal | Tudor Red Damask Rug, Edale Red Traditional Tribal Rug | Formal repeat pattern or bold tribal motifs | Traditional and country homes |
| Red shaggy | Foxtrot Red Art Deco Shaggy Rug, Rumba Red Ribbon Wave Shaggy Rug, Samba Red Wave Shaggy Rug | Carved, soft pile with a modern pattern | Bedrooms, teen rooms, cosy lounges |

| Wool | Caravan Red Hand-Tufted Wool Rug | Natural fibre, hand-tufted | Anyone who wants wool underfoot |
Our Persian and oriental designs are Persian-style and oriental-style: machine-made reproductions of traditional patterns, not genuine Persian rugs. Browse more in Hampton traditional rugs and Persian-style rugs. Materials across the red collection are polyester, polypropylene and, for Caravan, wool.
What size red rug do you need?
| Size | Where it works |
|---|---|
| 60 x 110 cm, 66 x 100 cm, 80 x 150 cm | A splash of colour by the bed, at the front door or in front of the fire |
| 120 x 120 cm square | Reading corners and small square rooms |
| 120 x 160 cm, 120 x 170 cm | Small living rooms, studies and bedrooms |
| 160 x 225 cm, 160 x 230 cm | Most living rooms and under a four-seat dining table |
| 200 x 290 cm | Larger living rooms and dining tables for six or more |
| 60 x 230, 66 x 200, 70 x 200 cm runners | Hallways, landings and galley kitchens |
Sizes vary by design, so check each rug. Under a dining table, allow at least 60 cm of rug beyond the table edge so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. For lounge picks, see red living room rugs.
What colours go with a red rug?
| Pairing | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Red and cream | The easiest match; cream walls or sofa let a patterned red rug lead |
| Red and blue | Traditional reds often carry navy in the border; repeat it with blue cushions or a navy sofa |
| Grey and red | A grey sofa calms a bright red shaggy rug for a modern room |
| Red and pink | Blush walls or cushions soften red for a warm, playful scheme |
| Red with dark wood and brass | Rich and classic; ideal for dining rooms and studies |
If you love deep, earthy warmth rather than true red, our terracotta rugs offer rust and burnt orange tones. For tartan in other colours, see Highland tartan check rugs.
Caring for a red rug
Vacuum regularly on a low setting, with the beater bar off for shaggy rugs. Blot spills straight away with a clean white cloth, then spot clean with cold water and a little mild detergent, testing on a hidden corner first. Strong sunlight can soften any rich colour over time, so turn the rug every few months to keep it even. Use a rug underlay on hard floors.
Red Rugs rugs: your questions answered
What colours go well with a red rug?
Cream and white are the easiest partners, letting the red lead. Navy and blue pick up the borders of many traditional red rugs, while grey calms a bright modern red. Dark wood and brass add warmth in dining rooms.
Will a red rug make my room look smaller?
Not if you balance it. Keep walls and larger furniture light, and choose a patterned red rug rather than a solid one so the colour is broken up. A red rug that reaches under the front legs of the sofa makes a room feel more joined up, not smaller.
Are your red Persian rugs genuine?
No. Our Persian and oriental designs are Persian-style and oriental-style: machine-made reproductions of traditional medallion, damask and tribal patterns. You get the classic red rug look from £20 rather than the cost of an antique.
Do you sell red shaggy rugs?
Yes. The Foxtrot Red Art Deco Shaggy Rug, Rumba Red Ribbon Wave Shaggy Rug and Samba Red Wave Shaggy Rug all have a soft, carved pile, and they suit bedrooms and cosy lounges.
What size red rug do I need for a dining room?
Allow about 60 cm of rug beyond each edge of the table so chairs stay on it when pulled out. A 160 x 230 cm rug suits most four-seat tables, and 200 x 290 cm suits six or more.
How do I clean a red rug?
Vacuum regularly on a low setting, with the beater bar off for shaggy rugs. Blot spills at once and spot clean with cold water and a little mild detergent, testing a hidden corner first. Use a professional rug cleaner for a deeper clean.
How much is delivery, and can I return a red rug?
Delivery is free to UK addresses on every red rug. Reds can look different in your own light, so you have free 14-day returns if the shade is not right.
