Small Washable Rugs

How to Pick Small Washable Rugs for Every Room

Small washable rugs are a home decor delight; they keep your feet warm while adding a pop of personality to any tiny (or large) space! But finding small rugs for sale doesn’t mean you pick the cutest ones and are done with them. Here are a few things to keep in mind so you can find the best rugs for every room in your home.

#1. Determine what the small washable rug is for.

Uses

Small washable rugs might be compact, but they pack a punch in terms of functionality. So, start by identifying what you need the rug for.

Will it be the spot where you dry your feet after a refreshing shower? Look for small bathroom rugs with absorbent materials that can handle moisture well. Perhaps you need an entryway rug to catch dirt and mud from the outside, or you’re looking for a kitchen washable rug for all the hours you spend cooking. In this case, opt for machine washable area rugs with forgiving prints.

Aesthetics

Of course, your rugs need to look great! Think about how each of your small washable rugs will fit into the overall decor scheme. Are you layering it with other modern washable rugs to create a rich, textured look? Play with complementary colours and patterns to create a rug-tastic work of art.

But if the rug is meant to be a standout piece, spring for bold designs to define and highlight a specific area. To keep your rug from sticking out like a sore thumb, check that the colours match the accent or main colours in the space.

#2. Choose the right shape for your small washable rug.

Living rooms and bedrooms

Need a living room washable rug? A small rectangular washable rug could fit perfectly underneath a coffee table, creating a cosy focal point. If you have an accent chair or reading nook in your bedroom, a round rug could help keep this space separate from the rest of the area.

Rectangular rugs work well in larger spaces where you need to ground a seating area, while round rugs are ideal for creating intimate spots within the room. You just need to check that the rug complements the overall flow of the room.

Kitchens and bathrooms

Kitchens and bathrooms need small washable rugs that are designed for practicality. Small kitchen rugs can protect your floors while adding warmth and personality. Place it in high-traffic areas, like in front of the sink or stove, where spills are par for the course.

For bathrooms, what about a cute semi circle washable rug? This shape fits perfectly in front of sinks and showers, providing a soft, absorbent surface that also defines the space.

#3. Choose a small washable rug that matches the room’s current aesthetics.

Popular design options

The great news is that you’ll never run out of options when it comes to small washable rugs at Miss Amara. If you want your space to carry that homey, lived-in feel, distressed rugs in different prints will do the trick, making your room feel warmer both visually and underfoot.

For those who prefer a cleaner look, minimalist prints can be a great option. Go for subtle patterns that add just a hint of personality without overwhelming the decor. They can work their magic particularly well in modern or Scandinavian-inspired interiors.

Drawn to more traditional designs? Tribal print rugs like Aztec washable rug feature complex patterns and rich colours to make a splash in any room. They’re perfect for rustic or bohemian-style homes, where maximalism is the name of the game.

Coordinating with existing decor

If your decor is more subdued, a rug with vibrant patterns can add a much-needed pop of interest. Conversely, a neutral washable rug can provide a soothing foundation, allowing other elements in the room to shine.

Texture is also crucial in defining the overall aesthetic. A small but textured washable rug could be what you need to give a flat-looking, bland room the life it needs. Who says small rugs can’t make a difference?
