Collection: Buy Blue Rugs on Sale

Blue is a popular choice for rugs because it suits so many different styles of home. Deeper shades such as navy and dark blue add depth and a sense of calm, while softer, greyer blues feel light and airy. Blue pairs easily with neutrals such as grey, white and natural tones, and it works just as well alongside warm shades like terracotta and mustard if you want a more characterful look. A rug is also one of the simplest ways to bring blue into a room without repainting, so it's a good place to start if you want a new colour scheme.

How to choose a blue rug for your room

Start with the shade and the mood you want. A dark blue or navy blue rug creates a cosy, grounded feel and hides everyday marks well, while a lighter or greyer blue helps a room feel open and bright. Shoppers often ask whether a dark rug will make a room feel smaller, and it can if the room has little natural light, so lighter walls and furniture will keep the space balanced. Next, think about the pattern and pile. Patterned and geometric designs add personality and are good at hiding wear in busy areas, while a plain shaggy rug gives a deep, plush finish that suits bedrooms and relaxed living spaces. Many of our patterned blue rugs are made from polypropylene, which is hard-wearing and easy to look after, while our shaggy rugs are made from soft polyester for a more luxurious feel. Size matters too, as a rug that is large enough for the front legs of your sofa or bed to sit on will make the room feel more cohesive. For narrow spaces such as hallways, a runner is usually the better fit. If you have a shaggy rug and spot a loose thread, simply trim it with scissors rather than pulling it. To browse more styles, visit our full range of rugs, explore plush shaggy rugs for extra softness, or take a look at our runner rugs for hallways and kitchens. To finish the room, our cushions are an easy way to pick up the blue tones from your rug.
