Cream Rugs

Cream rug, white or beige?

Even paler shades are among our white rugs. Sandier tones come with a beige rug, cooler ones with a taupe rug. Beige and cream rugs in the same room work well as long as one of them has texture. Jute, for instance.

Six materials in cream

Cream viscose shines beautifully in a bedroom. As a runner, viscose or tufted wool brings light into a dark hallway. Soft wool in many more colours is among our wool rugs. Outdoors? The shade works there too, in polypropylene or recycled PET.

Where does cream look good?

Next to oak and rattan, and beside sofas in grey or cognac. A cream rug in the living room under a dark wooden table makes a strong contrast, under a pale one hardly any. Both can look lovely. Sizes and layouts for the sofa area are on the rugs for the living room page. Elongated seating areas suit a 170x240 rug, square rooms a rug 250x250.

A large cream rug brightens a room with little daylight without feeling cold. Round, the pale shade gives a reading corner a calm centre.

Living with a pale rug

Delicate? A little. A light rug shows stains sooner than a dark one. Blot liquid at once rather than rubbing, and keep viscose and jute as dry as possible. Short pile is easy to vacuum. With children or a dog, the two-tone cream and grey or cream and brown designs are the more relaxed choice, because the pattern swallows small marks.
