40+ Bold Black and White Rugs for Any Room in Your Home

There is one question I get asked time and time again. “Where did you get that black and white RUG?!” When people visit our home or when I post a living room pic on instagram, it’s a given. Someone wants to know! The simple answer has always been HomeGoods! But since they carry limited inventory, it’s rare anyone would be able to head to their local store and actually find it. Well, I decided to do a little digging and I have finally sourced it! Today I’m sharing 40+ Black and White Rugs for any Room in your Home.
I’ve rounded up some of the bold black and white rugs that have stolen my heart lately, including our living room rug that still has me smitten after spotting it at the mothership more than a year ago!

BOLD BLACK AND WHITE RUGS FOR ANY ROOM IN YOUR HOME

[affiliate links are used in this post. You can read my full disclosure statement here.]

1 | Linear Ivory & Black

This is the ONE! This is OURS! We currently have this linear black and white rug our living room and I love every inch of it! It was the perfect bold pop I was hunting and hunting for in that space.

2 | Torres Wool Kilim

This rug would work anywhere and I just love the fringe on the sides!

3 | Dot Design

 

 

I’ve swooned over this rug for years! It is absolutely stunning up close! The detail of the design and the movement of the pattern is so gorgeous and would work well in pretty much any room.

4 | Mohawk Shag
I love the variation in this one. It’s a remix to the traditional polka dot! Here they are oversized circles scattered randomly and overlapping – very interesting  and unsymmetrical!

5 | square Aztec rugYou can’t beat the price on this one. It makes a statement has has the slightest peek-a-boo of teal and lime green giving it a very teeny, tiny pop of color. This black and white aztec rug type print is very hip right now!

6 | Newport 

This one has great lines and I love the black border.

7 |  Outdoor Striped

This black and white rug outdoor rug is the one we put on our front porch this year layered under this “HEY THERE, TAKE CARE” rug. Its a great size so would work well for the porch, deck or patio! A striped rug for inside is always a timeless classic, too! I love this striped rug option for in the house.

8 | Scallop Rug

This scallop look is sort of a fun play on polka dots, but I like the fact that the “half circles” aren’t uniform. It gives it some visual interest!

9 | polka dot

Just like a stripe, you just can’t go wrong with a black and white polka dot print! And at this price, you might want to pick up 2!

10 | Bond Black and White Hide Rug 

11 | Trellis

A simple trellis pattern in black and white is a softer look. The lines aren’t hard and they sort of remind me of flowers!

12 | Checkerboard

One of my girlfriends actually just put this in her son’s big boy room that has a super stylish planes, trains, trucks and cars theme – “Modern Racer” she calls it! I’ll have to share photos of the space she created for him with you guys someday 😉 It adorable and the black and white rug looks SO good in there!

13 | Chevron 

I hear some people say they are tiring of the chevron, but it is still out and about everywhere and there are so many variations now to the everyday chevron we’re used to seeing!

14 | Sophia

So swooning for Sophia right now! How gorgeous is she?

15 | Linear Abstract

This one, unlike the rest, only comes in one size because its a black and white bath mat. How rockin’ is this design? I think it would look right at home in our recently finished basement bathroom!

16 | Brush strokes

I love this one for any space really! This black and white rug reminds me of all of the those brush stroke art prints you see on etsy or minted. In fact, this rug is cool enough for a wall!

WHY GO WITH A BOLD BLACK AND WHITE RUG?

Rugs make a statement in a space, but a bold, graphic black and white rug really does. With a neutral color palette in a sophisticated print, the options are endless. You can mix a variety of other patterns and can pair absolutely any color under the sun with black and white – its the greatest color combination EVER! Take a peek here for my tips & “rules” for mixing patterns.

I don’t truly follow any rules, but just go for what I like!

And I love the look of a bright floral print [maybe in pillow form on your sofa or chair] with any of these bold black and white rugs!

If you’re still not sure about a large, bold pattern, but like the idea of one of the above rugs, my suggestion would be to order it in a small size. Try out a 2′ x 3′ or a 3′ x 5′ and use it in an entry/doorway or even in front of the kitchen sink. Then you’ll have a better vision as to what one would look like in a bigger size in another area of your home.

You’ll find black and white in nearly every space in our home with the exception of Simon’s nursery and the biggest’s room. Both are due for room updates…aka…I hate to even say the words… big boy rooms. At this point, I’d be hard-pressed to say that black and white will absolutely be making an appearance…when the time comes.

But let’s not rush it!

Which one is your favorite? In what room in your house would you go this BOLD ?!

Here are some more of my favorite black and white rugs and I’ll continue to add to this round-up as I come across more options!:
