How to Mix Rugs with Other Textiles

A rug isn’t just an anchor for your furniture—it’s a foundation for your textiles too. At RUGIN, we believe great interior style happens when all your fabrics speak the same language. Here's how to do it right.

🎨 1. Create a Unified Color Palette

• Choose 2–3 core colors that appear across your rug, throw pillows, and curtains

• Stick to either warm (terracotta, mustard, rust) or cool tones (navy, sage, gray)

🧶 2. Mix Textures, Not Chaos

• Pair flatweave rugs with chunky knits or velvet cushions

• Layer natural jute with soft linen drapes or faux fur throws

🟦 3. Balance Patterns

• If your rug is patterned, go solid with your cushions

• If your rug is solid, bring in pattern through curtains or blankets

🛋 4. Play with Scale

• Combine small-scale prints (pillows) with large-scale rug patterns

• Avoid using the same pattern in the same size across all textiles

💡 RUGIN TIP:
Take a photo of your textiles laid out together before placing them in the room. The camera gives a new perspective on clashing or cohesion.
