We like the look of a white or off-white area rug, but there are certain conditions (children, pets, high traffic areas) less suitable for light colors. Enter the gray rug: just dark enough to mask subtle stains and wear, but so dark as to draw the eye to a sea of black or blue. Here are our 10 favorites.
Above: Form Nordic Knots, the Park Rug in Gray starting at $895 for the 5-by-8-foot size.
