Rug colour matcher

Choose your floor, the colour of your sofa and the feel you are after, and we will suggest rug colours and a style that work together.

1. What is your floor?
2. What colour is your sofa (or main furniture)?
3. What feel do you want?

Your choices stay in your browser and are not saved or sent anywhere.

How the matching works

Each answer scores the rug colours that suit it, using the pairings in our rug colour guide:

  • Floor: contrast matters most. A rug the same tone as the floor tends to disappear.
  • Sofa: the rug should complement the sofa, not match it exactly.
  • Mood: calm, warm, bold, classic or graphic sets the palette and the style.

Frequently asked questions

What colour rug goes with a grey sofa?

Cream and grey for a calm look; ochre, rust, teal or blue for warmth or contrast.

Contrast works best: a lighter rug on a dark floor, or a darker or patterned rug on a light floor.

What colour rug hides dirt?

Mid-tones and patterns, such as taupe, mid-grey and multicoloured designs.
