Neutral Vintage-Inspired Area Rugs

Vintage-inspired area rugs in a neutral colour palette are a great way to add comfort, interest, and warmth to any space at a fraction of the cost of authentically vintage wares. 

Is there anything better than an amazingly worn-in vintage rug? With a sense of history to each one, they are a great way to add character and interest to any space in your home. But because vintage rugs are so unique and sought after they usually come with a very high price tag, and purchasing one of these gorgeous but costly rugs might not be feasible for everyone.

Don’t fret though, you can still get the look of a beautifully distressed vintage rug without spending a fortune.  

Big brand names are honing in on the popularity of vintage rugs and creating their own rugs that mirror the look of vintage goods. And these rugs have a much more affordable price tag. Of course, we’re drawn to soft neutrals in grey, cream and blue tones, like the rug we chose for our living room or the girls’ playroom. But we can also appreciate a little bit of colour, like the showstopper we added to Ella’s nursery.

Whether you prefer neutrals or tend to favour saturated colours we’re sure you’ll be able to find a vintage-inspired rug that’s perfect for your home. And even though these rugs aren’t truly vintage, you’ll still get that cozy worn-in look mixed with a big dose of character.

We’ve rounded up a few of our favourite vintage-inspired rugs to help inspire you.

    What a beautiful post. I loved the choice of your rugs. Your sense of interior is just WOW. Can you please suggest me something. Recently I’ve shifted to my new house. I’m very much confused about my living room rug. The walls are decorated with a pop of bright colors and the white colored couch is placed at the one corner of my room. Please suggest me the best rug which can go with my living room. I’ve been choosing the rugs from https://www.therugmall.com/living-room-rugs-best-rugs-to-buy-in-usa/ they are having the greatest collection of rugs.

      Hi Ashley,

      First of all, I’d love to say congratulations on your new home! My advice for choosing a rug would be to either choose a neutral option since you have color on your walls and a white sofa. Or choose a rug that pulls an existing accent color from your decor to keep it cohesive. Good luck and happy shopping! 🙂

Am I the only one that feels like our home is neve Am I the only one that feels like our home is never really finished, even after a big renovation? 🙋🏻‍♀️We shared our finished renovation a few months ago but we knew there would still be additions to make in the weeks and months ahead. I've added a few new pieces of decor and we installed a custom roman shade, but the biggest change we made was replacing our kitchen appliances. It's a big investment, but one that is worth it.We partnered with our friends at @frigidairecanada to update our existing appliances and today we are sharing all about it, from why we chose @frigidairecanada appliances again to the favourite features we're swooning over.
