White rugs

How to showcase the versatility of white rugs with style

White rugs can do so much for any interior. Their neutral colour harmoniously adapts to every decorating style, from minimalist modern to warm and cosy. What kind of white rug would you like? A black and white patterned rug, for example, creates exciting accents, whilst a round white rug radiates gentle elegance. For snuggly comfort, a fluffy white rug with an extra-long pile gently caresses your feet. At IKEA, you also have a vast choice of materials: discover hard-wearing flat-weave rugs made from cotton, warming high-pile rugs made from synthetic fibres, or natural white wool rugs. For outdoors, with a white outdoor rug or a black and white outdoor rug, you can bring that fresh look to your balcony and terrace too. If you fancy more contrasting colours that you can combine with crisp white, take a look at our grey and white or blue and white rugs. Whatever white rug you choose in the end, it's sure to add a touch of lightness to your home.

Black and white patterned rugs as eye-catchers

A black and white patterned rug draws all eyes to it and becomes the highlight in your home. The combination of classic black and white always looks elegant and timeless, whether with graphic shapes, abstract patterns or traditional motifs. A black and white rug fits perfectly with modern, Scandinavian or urban interior styles and can be combined in many ways. Use it as a base, for example, and add black home accessories like cushions or vases for a tone-on-tone concept. Or dare to contrast with furniture in bold colours like bright yellow or rich petrol. This creates an exciting, individual room full of personality with a black and white patterned rug.

Round white rugs create harmonious feel-good zones

A round white rug brings organic, soft shapes into your home and creates an inviting, cosy atmosphere. In the living room, it connects sofa and armchairs into a harmonious seating group; under the dining table, it creates a generous, cohesive surface. Round white rugs are also an excellent choice in entrance areas or the bedroom to spread warmth and cosiness. You can combine a round white rug with furniture and accessories in pastel tones like soft pink, light mint green or dove blue for a gentle, calming room effect. Round white high-pile rugs in particular create cosy accents that make rooms feel more snuggly.

Fluffy white rugs for snuggling and walking barefoot

With a fluffy white rug, you bring pure comfort home. The extra-long, dense pile caresses your feet with every step – making walking barefoot twice as much fun. In the bedroom, a fluffy white rug provides those last snuggly metres to your bed. High-pile white rugs come in many materials: you'll find easy-care synthetic fibre versions with us as well as elegant rugs made from silky-smooth wool.

The right care for brilliantly white rugs

For your white rug to stay brilliantly beautiful for a long time, proper care is essential. Vacuum it thoroughly once or twice a week to remove dust and loose dirt. Always treat stains immediately: dab liquids with an absorbent cloth and carefully lift solid residues with a spoon. For water-soluble stains, lukewarm water with a little delicate detergent works well; oil or grease stains can be treated well with gall soap or glass cleaner. Test cleaning products first on an inconspicuous spot. You can regularly brush high-pile rugs with a special rug brush to loosen the pile. This way, you'll enjoy the unique elegance and lightness of your white rug for a long time to come.
