Modern Rugs

Contemporary area rugs can be powerful interior design tools to add a subtle splash of color and make the space feel more like home. However, it's important to choose one that will add to the beauty of your home rather than take away from it. Here are a few rug features to consider when choosing your area rug:

Color

A logical place to start when selecting an area rug is with color. Of course, you should consider your personal preferences and the colors you'd prefer to surround yourself with every day, but it isn't the only consideration. 

It's important to think carefully about the color of your area rug because it will determine the mood of the entire space.

Suppose you already have furniture. In that case, you will need to think about how various hues will complement it. 

Neutral shades or a rug in a single color tend to work best in spaces with an abundance of color and design elements. If you're going for minimalistic decor, a modern black-and-white rug will work well.

Shape

The shape of your rug should ultimately mirror the shape of your furniture for a complimentary look. If your furniture has circular elements, for example, a modern round rug will blend in perfectly. You also want a rug that will fit into your space without ending up underneath your furniture.

Pile Height

It's crucial to consider the pile height when selecting a rug. Your options are low, medium, or high. In general, low-pile rugs are more durable and easier to clean and maintain than high-pile alternatives.

Longer pile rugs feel softer and more opulent underfoot, adding to the coziness and inviting feel of a space. As a rule of thumb, a low-pile rug will perform better in a room with heavy foot traffic, but a thicker rug will stay longer in a room with low to moderate traffic.

Style

Although not everyone enjoys patterns, a patterned rug can really make a space pop if the furnishings and walls are all a single color. 

Similarly, if your furniture is patterned, a solid-colored rug can have a soothing effect. Balance is key. You can shop our wide range for unique designs that will bring life to your space. You can use our filter & clear feature to find exactly what you're looking for in a wide range of materials
