Neutrals and grays always work well with red, so try natural fibres with a rough woven texture if you want something that isn’t too colorful. This will add texture and depth to your room without being too overpowering.
On the other hand, if you are looking to embrace color and pattern, make sure the rug you choose has some hints of red in it, ideally in the same shade as your couch. This will tie everything together creating a cohesive look in your living room!
