Black rugs do not have to be totally black.  If you’re unsure about whether a black rug would make the room look dark, choose a rug that combines black with lighter tones.  The beauty of black rug is that they will look right with just about any other colours, so they’re a really adaptable choice that will work well with several different décor choices.  They can be used to mix it up with the rest of the colours in the room or to highlight a bright burst of colour.  Whatever you choose, your guests will be amazed by your brave and bold colour choice.
