Creamy white:

Brilliant Magenta:

Let’s not go deep into this, otherwise I’ll have to contradict with my line and say that ‘Nothing is colored, it is just the brain makes it all up.’ Leave the science apart, Magenta is the color which will make a bold statement. Again, You must not overdo this color, but if used with the right combination a rug of this color can make your guests drop their jaws.

This colored rug will bring the energy of red and the calmness of blue to your living area. Avoid in the bedrooms though or it won’t let you sleep.
Multicolor madness:
Why choose one when you can have them all. Make a space go dull to fresh or make a mundane activity a little more exciting with different colors. What else? The kids will love it and you can experiment as much as you want. Also, a single color will not be dominant on your mood and emotions. But trust me, you want to keep them light. Warm colors will bring the energy, but as we are discussing summer rugs you might want to keep rugs calm in summer.
