I am ridiculously in love with the pink rug in our dining room!  It’s so fun and vibrant and adds a whole new level of dimension to the room.  I had originally planned on getting a neutral rug for the space (yaaaaawn) and then I stumbled across this article on Apartment Therapy talking about how pink is the perfect rug color for almost every room.  A slight exaggeration perhaps, but they had some fabulous examples and I was SOLD.

If you’re ready to hop on the pink train here are some more rugs to consider–and all are under $300!

1// Overstock $161 for an 8×10

Over-dyed seems to be big right now.  I think it looks awesome in the right space, but Matt thinks they look like someone took an eraser to them.  To each their own.

2// Anthropologie $248 for a 3×5

Ok, so this one’s not totally pink, but it’s got a solid pink pop and is still pretty spectacular

3// All Modern $150 for a 5×8

I love how this one is slightly reminiscent of a Moroccan pattern.  The bold pattern but more muted color is great if crazy hot pink isn’t for you.

4// Overstock $166 for a 5×7

So this was the rug I originally wanted for the dining room.  I love the balance of color so it doesn’t seem completely overwhelming.  Unfortunately it wasn’t available in the right size when I was actually ready to buy it, but my alternate worked out beautifully too!

 

Bright not your thing?  No problem.  Pastels aren’t just for baby girls!

1// Overstock $270 for an 8×10

This rug would look uber chic in the right room.  Anyone else kinda dig the black-white-blush-gold palette? It’s hard to tell from the image, but the rug is super plush so it would provide a soft but textural base.

2// Wayfair $275 for an 8×10

A busier pattern, still in a soft color is a great way to add texture too.

3// Rugs USA $200 for a 3×5

This one’s a little bolder, but I think the earthier coral color is divine and it’s not overwhelming.

4// Overstock $250 for a 3×5

And of course, pastel with fringe!  Because fringe.
