12 white rugs for a bright and light living room |

I get it, a white rug seems like a risky choice. It may be beautiful, but you might find it impractical or even unnecessary, especially if you have kids or pets. But that’s where you’re wrong. With the right expertise, a white rug becomes not only possible, but encouraged. Trust me, I’m a style editor.

Some of the best rugs are white: plush, snowy furs, crisp ivory runners, or plush cream shag rugs. If you can find a machine-washable option, you’re all set. And if not, the right material or pattern will do the trick. And even if you can’t find it, you can display the rug in a room with minimal traffic. No stains, just ambiance.
