Muted colors like cool blues, greens, and purples coupled with a monochromatic design scheme create a calming atmosphere. Lighter colors such as pastel shades, white, or neutrals make spaces appear bigger with a light and airy feel. Bright, vibrant shades add energy to your space and can liven up a room perfect for eclectic living rooms and dining areas. For a more grounded and cozy feel, rich shades of burgundy, chocolate, and navy can help to make a room feel more intimate and warm. For a specific design aesthetic, such as a modern farmhouse or coastal look, shades of cream, blue, beige, brown, and black are all excellent options. For a more romantic, traditional look, a floral patterned rug in shades of navy, purple, rose, or sage offers a touch of verdant beauty. As a 9x12 rug is larger in size and therefore offers more impact, it goes without saying that if your furniture already features an array of patterns, it's best to go with a muted, patternless rug for the best outcome.

Material choice is essential when selecting a new 9x12 rug. When making the final decision, understanding the level of foot traffic the room you are selecting for will see makes all the difference.

For a luxe, unexpected touch, an animal hide or woven leather rug brings a high-end, durable accent to your space, but is best for bedrooms, offices, or low-traffic areas.
Lastly, take into consideration the pile height of your rug. A thick, shag pile or viscose rug is best for providing a soft touch underfoot in a bedroom or living space, though is tougher to clean, while a short, dense pile of wool or cotton is ideal for dining rooms, bedrooms, and living spaces and is easy to vacuum or spot clean as needed.
Finding The Right Style For Your 9x12 Rug

If a majority of the furniture in your room is a solid color, try a patterned rug to add some definition and dynamic style to your space. Ideal for 9x12 rugs in larger spaces, floral, striped, and patchwork rugs bring clearly structured patterns, especially when paired with a bold color.

Bold stripes, colorful geometrics, and animal prints offer an eye-catching statement and can act as a visual focal point in an office, bedroom, or lounge space.
After you’ve decided on the color you would like to accentuate your space with, decide on the style of rug that best fits your home. Shag rugs are tufted or woven and have a deep, thick pile to add coziness to a space. Hand-knotted rugs are crafted by artisans who hand-knot each fiber on a loom, making for an intricate and durable option. Lastly, flatweave and tufted rugs offer a short pile, coming in either dense or flatweaves. Typically machine woven, these rugs are great for high-traffic areas and require a rug pad to help keep them in place.
