Neutral rugs are divine. They are serene, cozy and versatile. Ironically, my decor sense almost always gravitates toward the bright colors of happy modern style. In the case of area rugs, however, I love that neutral colors don't overpower the space.
For color lovers, neutral doesn't mean boring. A geometric pattern provides visual interest while the neutral palette allows your colorful home accents to shine.

I'm a huge fan of neutral rugs. They are fabulous for providing the foundation for a room and they work with pretty much any decor. Plus, the geometric patterns make the rug even more sophisticated! I just love that Handmade Luna Moroccan Trellis Wool Rug!
#2 is actually from $73.00 - $848.00. I got excited when I thought the biggest size would only be $84 haha. Nice rugs though! #5 is my favorite.
I love neutral, and I love rugs, but this room looks bland to me. Maybe it's the ubiquitous trellis rug that is everywhere now and makes me think of a generic hotel room.
Who makes the 'parker hotel' rug? It's amazing!
I love neutral rugs too, even in colourful rooms. I once had a more colourful rug in my living room, and it not only made the room feel smaller, it drew the eye downward instead of around the room.
I love rugs! Aside from it gives a beautiful look in our room i also like the texture of the rugs on my feet. :)
