Baby, it’s cold outside. Time to warm things up with a cozy winter rug!
Not long ago, we shared our holiday rug gift guide full of festive favorites. While we think these are all still great picks for people looking for a winter style that will look great all year, we wanted to share a few more options with you this week to carry you through the end of the year and well into 2021 (we’re looking forward to it too!)
What Makes a Winter Rug?
While what exactly makes a winter rug will differ for everyone, we think one thing has to be true: it has to be cozy. As we all settle in for the cold, dark months ahead, it’s nice to know our homes will be full of warmth and comfort. The perfect winter rug will not only be a warm barrier between your feet and your floor, but also provide some of that intangible emotional comfort we all want this time of year.
With that in mind, our winter rug picks this year are full of beautiful blues and whites that calm the senses and soothe the soul. In addition, we have a few picks that will look great well into the spring.
Create a Winter Oasis
With a modern mix of neutral colors and abstract patterns, the Oasis Collection is a soothing option for a wide variety of styles. The swirling designs evoke majestic glaciers and ice floes, creating the perfect winter wonderland in your home. Finally, the mix of ivories and blues fit right in with summery coastal styles, so these rugs will be perfect even into the warmer months.
Fall in Love with Pleasant Pastels
The cheerful colors of the Whitney Collection make every look you give them a gift. A variety of floral and geometric traditional designs rendered with a subtle abrash gives these rugs a vintage, storybook charm. These will make your home look like a fairytale cottage you’ll want to cozy up in all winter long. Plus, the pleasant pastels will be perfect for spring when it finally comes.
Get Cozy with a Handmade Winter Rug
There’s nothing cozier than a handmade wool rug. These one-of-a-kind works of functional art add a sense of class and sophistication to any room they’re in. The world of hand-knotted Persian and oriental rugs is vast, so let us offer a few suggestions.
Moroccan Beni-Ourain rugs are a favorite choice among the fashion-forward. Traditionally made by the Berber people to warm their homes in the High Atlas Mountains, these rugs are known for their shaggy pile made of undyed wool. They’re the perfect choice for cozy up against the winter months.
Other favorites include Heriz and Oushak rugs. These rugs cover a wide variety of patterns, colors, and styles. With each rug being unique, everyone can find the perfect rug for them.
