Holiday Rugs: Red, Green and Festive Rugs for Christmas and Winter
Holiday rugs bring Christmas color to the floor without adding clutter. Our holiday collection features deep red, burgundy, forest green and red-and-navy rugs in vintage Turkish and Persian-inspired designs, plus runners for busy entryways and small 2x3 rugs that make easy gifts. Because the designs are classic rather than themed, they look right from Thanksgiving through the end of winter.
Why Choose a Holiday Rug?
- Instant seasonal color: a red or green rug changes the feel of a room more than a dozen small decorations.
- Lasts beyond December: vintage-look reds and greens stay stylish all winter, unlike themed holiday prints.
- Made for hosting: low-pile rugs and runners handle extra foot traffic, dropped crumbs and wet boots.
- Easy to gift: small 2x3 rugs and runners fit almost any home.
Washable options: our washable Oushak-style holiday rugs go straight into the washing machine after spills from holiday dinners and parties.
Shop Holiday Rugs by Color
Deep red, claret and burgundy are the classic Christmas colors. A red vintage rug warms up living rooms and dining rooms and pairs naturally with greenery, brass and candlelight.
Red and navy medallion rugs feel festive but timeless, a good choice if you want holiday color that still works in January and February.
Deep green and olive tones bring the look of evergreen branches indoors and pair beautifully with red accents, wood and plaid textiles.
How to Decorate With a Holiday Rug, Room by Room
Living Room and Under the Christmas Tree
Use a 5x8 or 6x9 rug to frame the tree and gift area, or an 8x10 to anchor the whole seating area. A red or burgundy rug protects floors from pine needles and dripping water.
Entryway and Hallway
A runner rug is the first thing guests see. Choose a red or patterned runner that hides wet boots and holiday foot traffic.
Dining Room
For holiday dinners, pick an 8x10 or 9x12 rug that extends about 2 feet past the table on every side so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out.
Kitchen
A low-pile runner or small 2x3 rug in front of the sink or stove adds comfort during long holiday cooking and is easy to clean afterward.
What Size Holiday Rug Do I Need?
- Under a Christmas tree: 5x8 or 6x9; 8x10 for large trees.
- Living room: 8x10 or 9x12, with the front legs of the furniture on the rug.
- Dining room: 8x10 or 9x12 for most six- to eight-seat tables.
- Entryway and hallway: runners in 2.5x8 to 2.5x12.
- Gifts and small spaces: 2x3 or 3x5.
Holiday Rugs as Gifts
A small vintage-look rug is a practical, personal gift for a new home, a first apartment or a kitchen refresh. Explore our Small Rugs for 2x3 and 3x5 sizes, or choose a runner for a hallway or kitchen.
Caring for Your Rug During the Holidays
- Vacuum regularly to pick up pine needles, glitter and crumbs.
- Blot spills like wine or gravy right away with a clean, dry cloth; do not rub.
- Follow the care instructions on your product page for deeper cleaning.
- Use a rug pad on hard floors to keep the rug in place during busy gatherings.
