Adorning your home with delicate pastel hues is one of the best ways to lighten up your living area, as natural light bounces more freely on these shades.

We’ve created this thoughtful guide to some of our bestselling pastel rugs and how they can help enhance your home, whatever your personal taste or your budget.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that adding a rug to a room can completely transform it. When you’re decorating your home, sometimes a room just needs that finishing touch, and a rug is a wonderful way to achieve this. A rug can help layer your décor, adding texture and colour that sets the tone of the room. With the subtlety of a pastel colour rug, you can easily create a sense of tranquillity that makes your home a sanctuary.
A quality rug with pastel colour blends or patterns lends maturity and sophistication to a room’s design. For instance, block pastels were particularly popular in the mid-twentieth century and a thoughtfully chosen modern rug in a pastel shade can bring a fresh, contemporary take on this cool retro style.
One of the most appealing elements of a pastel rug is its versatility. Because of the subtlety of soft pastel shades, it’s not a challenge to find, for example, wall design or furniture that pairs well with a pastel-coloured rug. Whether your home is more traditional or modern, urban or rustic, a pastel rug can provide a stunning finish.
A pastel palette doesn’t have to be limiting. We have a varied selection of pastel area rugs that suit a number of different properties, interior design styles and budgets. Take a look through our inspiring selection and you’ll be sure to find a pastel rug that works for you and your home.
