Floral

What comes to your mind when you think of floral rugs? A girly piece with large pink and red flowers or something so colorful that it’s terribly distracting? You are dead wrong because floral pattern area rugs come in many colors, large and small designs, and could have the subtlest of patterns.

Yes, floral rugs are often associated with feminine power. Any room with a flower area rug is instantly declared as warm and welcoming, as women are associated with being. But rugs don't have gender, do they? Who says floral area rugs are only for women’s rooms? These are for everyone who loves the gentle touch of nature.

Those gorgeous designs bring a garden vibe to any room. Whether you are a maximalist who prefers rare floral pattern area rugs or a minimalist who is content with the simple jasmine pattern, floral rugs can cater to all tastes. They often feature flowers, leaves, motifs, botanical patterns, and garden-inspired designs.

They range from incredibly realistic rose bouquets that look like they were plucked from a Victorian garden to abstract, stylized blooms that barely whisper flower but somehow still capture the natural essence. The variety is honestly overwhelming, but we are sure you’ll find a piece at Magic Rugs that suits your taste.

Different floral rug styles

Here are some floral area rug styles that are commonly available at Magic Rugs.

1. Traditional Florals: Traditional floral rugs have been romanticized for centuries. They are pretty with rich, deep colors. English cottage roses, French provincial patterns, Persian garden motifs, you name it.

2. Modern Florals: These are perfect for people who don’t want to feel like they are living in their grandmama’s house but still want a fresh and warm touch to their room. Modern floral rugs are mainly inspired by botanical prints, but with a contemporary twist. They have oversized or abstract flowers and rather unconventional color combinations. They are fun! 

3. Vintage Florals: The shabby chic and weathered garden look arises from a retro flower rug. These designs have been in the market for years and are loved for their perfectly vintage vibe. They are adorned with faded roses and distressed colors.

4. Botanical Prints: These prints consist of detailed, life-like leaf patterns, ferns, and botanical illustrations. They are perfect for nature lovers who prefer to have a lot of greenery in their house, minus the romance. A living room with a botanical print rug and potted plants would look so fresh.

Placement of floral rugs

Floral area rugs work best when they are the statement piece. They instantly grab attention and become the attractive nook of the home. However, these work best when they are standalone. If you already have floral curtains, patterned wallpaper, or a striped sofa, adding a flower-patterned rug could create visual chaos. All these patterns will clash with each other.

Another thing to consider is the size of patterns on your rag. Large flowers in a small room will make that room appear even smaller. Or tiny, delicate patterns in a very large room will get lost in the huge space and won’t be appreciated as much. I know this sounds tricky, but the golden rule is - Small patterns for small rooms, large patterns for large rooms.

Surprisingly, floral area rugs do well in outdoor spaces, especially in areas where there are fewer greens. They bring a refreshed look to the rather dull-looking outside surroundings. Or if you have a lush green garden, a cute floral rug on your patio will only complement it.

The beauty of floral rugs is that they often contain multiple colors, even contrasting ones. Don’t try to match your decor to every single color on the rug, or your home will end up looking like a paint store explosion. Instead, pick one or two colors from the rug and use them as accents throughout your room.

There’s a myth floating around that your spring flowers-inspired rug might not give a winter vibe. But the fact is, flowers don’t have expiration dates in home decor. Any beautiful floral pattern area rugs could work year-round. But if you still prefer not to have it, then why not keep ot for the spring and then pack it in storage until the next spring season?
