Yellow rug
A yellow rug brings light and energy into your home: a warm, cheerful shade that instantly brightens up a neutral room. Beautiful as a color accent with gray, white, or wood. Find your yellow rug below.
More information about the yellow rugWhat is a yellow rug?
A yellow rug ranges in colour from soft sandy yellow and ochre to warm mustard yellow. The colour comes from plant-based dyes such as saffron and woad, or from synthetic dyes for a more even result. Yellow has traditionally often been a complementary colour alongside red and blue in Oriental and Moroccan patterns, and less often the dominant colour of an entire rug.
Yellow brings light and energy to a room and instantly brightens up a neutral interior. A muted ochre shade has a more subtle effect than a bright, saturated yellow.
Shades of yellow
| Shade | Appearance | Goes well with |
|---|---|---|
| Sandy yellow | Light, soft | Natural, Scandinavian |
| Ochre | Medium shade, earthy | Rural, botanical |
| Mustard yellow | Deep, rich | Modern, statement piece |

How do you choose the right yellow rug?
Start with the area where the rug will be placed and measure the desired area:
- 2- or 3-seater sofa: 160 x 230 cm or 200 x 300 cm.
- Dining table: The tablecloth extends far enough on each side that the chairs remain on the tablecloth when they are pulled out.
- Bedroom: 170 x 240 cm next to or under a double bed.
- Hall or passageway: a smaller rug or runner, with a clear path to walk along.
Combine yellow with grey, white or natural wood to create a balanced look. A sandy yellow shade provides a calm base; mustard yellow adds a striking accent to a room.

Good to know
Traditionally made using saffron or woad, plant-based dyes that produce a warm yellow to ochre yellow colour on wool. Newer rugs also use synthetic shades of yellow.
Less commonly than red or blue. Yellow is traditionally used mainly as an accent colour within a pattern, rather than as the sole colour of the entire rug.
Grey, white, natural wood and dark blue. Yellow adds an energetic touch to an otherwise neutral interior.
Over the years, dyed wool will fade slightly when exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. Turn the rug half a turn regularly.
A newly dyed rug may run slightly when washed with water for the first time. You should therefore test it first on a corner using a damp white cloth.
Yes. Yellow is often perceived as cheerful and energetic, which suits a playful children’s bedroom well.
Vacuum the rug regularly, following the direction of the pile, on a low setting. Blot stains with cold water and a drop of pH-neutral wool detergent.
Yes. A yellow rug instantly adds colour and energy to a room that is otherwise decorated in shades of grey, white or natural tones.
Wool is a natural insulator, which means it retains some of the heat. The rug can be placed on underfloor heating, but please bear in mind that the heat output may be reduced.
Ochre is a muted, earthy shade of yellow with a brown undertone, less bright than a pure, saturated yellow.
Due to wear and exposure to light, the colour has often become softer and more earthy than on a new item. Signs of wear or repairs are part of its character.
Use a non-slip mat made of felt or rubber that is slightly smaller than the rug, so that the edges do not curl up and the rug does not slide on smooth floors.
