Black carpets
Tough effect

A plain black carpet is best laid in a slightly larger room because otherwise the dark colour can look a bit 'oppressive' or overwhelming. Black is also a bit dramatic and tough depending on the material and texture. Black carpets look particularly good in modern and industrial interiors. There are also chic black rugs with subtle or striking patterns - rugs that want to be seen.

Black conveys elegance as well as providing a stark contrast to styles that favor light and bright colors.

In terms of patterns, black and white rugs work well with a variety of styles. Shag black rugs can fit into elegant spaces, while popular black and white rugs can fit into a variety of design styles.

What is the best black rug for you?

Black area rugs should be selected based on a few general factors.

Position. 

Black area rugs are commonly placed in the following positions in popular areas: living rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. 

Living Rooms. 

Black area rugs can be a great addition to your main seating area. If your room is smaller, you could use a smaller black rug or even a runner.

Dining Room. 

Black rugs are a natural fit in the dining room when centered beneath the dining room table. You can always choose a different shaped rug if you want something more abstract and less subtle. Rectangular rugs work well under rectangular tables, and round black rugs work well under round tables.

Bedroom. 

It's not uncommon for rectangular or round rugs to be placed under the bed and extend into the rest of the bedroom. Other popular arrangements include centering a rug in the room itself or placing a black runner alongside the bed.

Which black rug shades are most popular?

Ebony, Charcoal, Taupe, Onyx, and others are popular shades

Black rugs can be machine washed?

If the rug is made from finer materials, such as wool or silk, it should not be washed in the machine. Always check the label for washing instructions.

How does a black rug affect the size of a room?

Dark rugs tend to make rooms appear smaller since they absorb light.
