Striking Rug Ideas for Your Home Office
As working from home becomes the norm for many of us, creative home design options are opening up to help make our working spaces comfortable and inviting, as well as productive. With impersonal office cubicles long behind us, let's enjoy our home offices and make them spaces we love to work from!
One often overlooked area of home office design is soft furnishings. We don't want to waste the workday on a luxurious sofa, but a little rest can help optimize our energy and productivity throughout the day, and a rug or some soft decor features can offer a little extra comfort to a practical space.
Let's spark your inspiration with some of our favorite rug options.
Embrace Some Stripes
Stripes are a timeless choice that adds vibrancy to any room. Whether monochrome or a bright color scheme, a striped rug can offer an extra focal point in your home office and set a stylish tone. A classic black and white striped rug pairs well with various decor styles, ensuring a stylish and lively space.
Get Floral
Infuse your home office with garden-inspired charm by opting for a floral rug. A home office can often mean we're tied to our desks for long hours and not able to embrace the outdoors, so a gentle floral touch in a perfectly chosen rug could be a calming addition to your workday. Even if fresh flowers aren't a daily desk accessory, a floral rug can bring a touch of nature indoors.
Add A Splash of Color
Why not let your favorite color inspire your rug choice? Whatever your home office color scheme, a colorful rug can brighten your workday and create a cheerful atmosphere in your home office that can lift your mood and boost morale throughout the day.
Welcome Neutrals
Alternatively, if the rest of your home office offers colorful features and decor, a neutral rug can offer a sophisticated edge and additional design impact. A grey, tan, or white rug can offer an extra edge, especially with varied tones or intriguing textures, proving that neutral can be both sophisticated and interesting.
Sink Into Sheepskin
If you're looking for absolute luxury, sinking into the sheepskin of a workday morning could be just the start! Enjoying the luxury of a soft sheepskin rug, perfect for barefoot comfort while working from home, truly makes the most of working from home.
Layer It Up
Layering rugs can add depth and character to your home office, as well as being a great addition if you live with draughty floorboards! A patterned rug over a neutral or textured rug can create a dynamic and resilient setup, adding both style and texture to a home office that truly feels like yours.
A Colorful Mix & Match
Don't hesitate to experiment with bright colors like blue, green, or pink. A vibrant rug can complement wooden furniture and bring lively energy to a predominantly neutral home office space. Play around with complimenting and clashing colors to strike a perfect lively design that works for you.
Go Geometric
A Moroccan-inspired white rug with a geometric pattern can add a soft and sophisticated touch to your office with a great additional focal point. While a geometric rug may not suit busy areas, it can add a great design boost to a more minimalist home office space.
Citrus Splash
A bright citrus palette rug can add the gentle hit of summer to any home office, all year round —whether your design vibe is coastal, bohemian, industrial, or eclectic. Some playful citrus decor like lemon vases of other citrus art prints can add a great final touch, too.
Make it Glam!
A soft, fuzzy white rug adds a touch of glamour to a home office adorned in black, white, and gold. It's the perfect choice for creating a luxurious and chic workspace if you want to welcome the glam into your workday and feel like a star!
Rug Ideas for A Gorgeous Home Office
Whatever your home office setup, a little individualized design element like a striking rug can lift your workspace and make for space as gorgeous as it is productive. From a striking splash of color to luxurious textiles, graphic prints, or simply something soft on a hardwood file or cold tiles, the right rug can add the perfect finishing touch to your home office.
