The right rug sets the tone for a room and can even be the starting point for the design of the space. With so many rug styles and rug sizes to choose from, it’s important to keep the intended use of the room in mind when selecting a rug for your space. Ask yourself what atmosphere you wish to create. Do you want to make a statement in your reception area or turn your bedroom into a calming retreat? Consider how easily you can clean the den or living room rug and how it will wear if you have children and pets.
The style of your home will also impact the rug design you select. Antique- or vintage-look rugs pair well with traditional design while natural fiber rugs may look best in minimalist interiors, but there’s always room to do something unique, creative, or new in your space too. View our rug styles and feel free to express your personality by combining different contrasting colors in a modern rug, or choose a bohemian, vintage, or midcentury carpet you love. Soft, plush carpets will never go out of style, as they provide a sense of warmth, comfort, and reassurance in your home.
Traditional Rug Styles
Rug making is a centuries-old tradition. Many styles, from Persian rugs to Moroccan rugs, have been used in homes across the world for generations. In a home with traditionally styled decor, these long-loved rug styles make a lasting impression. You can get the look of these traditionally handmade rugs with numerous options from our selection.
Persian Rugs and Turkish Rugs
Persian and Turkish rugs have beautiful, intricate patterns and often vibrant color combinations. Though they are similar in look, weaving techniques vary and Turkish rugs may have slightly more geometric patterns. If you are looking for Persian or Turkish rug styles in muted colors, the Cyprus or Pasha Antique Kashan rugs may suit your style. For more vibrant options, consider the Odessa Canyon rug, Pasha runner, or the Florence Medallion rug.
Moroccan Rugs
Moroccan rugs consist of white or black sheep’s wool. The tribe of origin determines the patterns and shades. Favorite Moroccan rugs include High Atlas Azilal (which often tells stories in figures, forms, and bold tints), Central Plains Boujad, and Middle Atlas Beni Mguild. All tribes create boucherouite and kilim rugs. Beni Ourain, Boucherouite, and Moroccan Berber rugs are textured and often very soft. They are also perfect if you want to create a cozy bedroom. The folk-art Beni Ourain carpets are generally cream-colored with black patterns, and the boucherouite are brightly tinted. The Emory gives the look of a traditional Moroccan rug and has a plush feel while the Zion Tribal and Darby rugs both offer a modern take on a traditional style.
Modern Rug Styles
Modern rugs may incorporate elements from classic designs or traditional styles, but they do this in a new way. Most are machine-made of natural wool, silk, or cotton. A modern rug can make a room look dreamy, formal, or vibrant. We define modern — with its clean lines and minimalism — as the period between the 1920s and the 1950s. The period can include midcentury modern designs.
Modern rugs, such as our Capistrano Medallion, may use neutral colors, as many homeowners prefer less-daring designs and fewer color combinations. The simpler designs fit in with most furnishings. Our Abilene rug offers enough pattern to hide any spills or splatters that happen in a living room or den.
Midcentury Rugs
Midcentury-style rugs fit in with many decorative styles and often include vibrant dyes and such geometric motifs as large minimalist circles, ovals, and rectangles. Delphi is a good example. A rug can be a subtle decor element or, like in this case, a bold statement piece.
Geometric Pattern Rugs
Geometric rug designs add a fun pop of pattern in simpler rooms. If you’re wary of trying bold colors or patterns but want to dip your toe in the water, try a geometric rug in neutral colors. We have many options to choose from, like the Prairie Ice Caps in shades of gray, the Prairie in earth tones, or the Bauer Natural Lines.
Abstract-Style Rugs
Lean in to your artistic side and try an abstract-style rug to add some visual interest to your space. Patterns and colors will vary, and you’re sure to find something unique that complements your space. Check out the Austen rug.
Striped Rugs
Stripes can add a classic feel to any room. There are many variations of striped rugs, including plaid rugs, gradient stripes, and even zigzag patterns. The Ember Clay Mist combines neutral, earth-toned hues with a classic striped pattern, and the Athena has a playful zigzag stripe.
Natural Fiber Rugs
Natural fiber rugs are loved for their durability and the way that they blend in with a variety of design styles. The most commonly referenced natural fiber rug materials are jute, sisal, and seagrass. They can be woven into simple, basket weave-style patterns or more complex rug designs. Choosing a natural fiber rug is one way to incorporate sustainable rugs into your home. These types of rugs pair just as well with beach-inspired interiors as they do with vintage- and antique-filled rooms. Our Sofia Jute rug would look excellent in a child’s bedroom or as an accent in an entryway.
Contemporary Rug Trends
Contemporary identifies what is currently in style, and today’s fashions are bold and colorful, boasting geometrical alignment and unique shapes. It can be a blend of several different trends and will change as time goes by. Contemporary styles can include designs that reference previous historical periods or do something that is totally new.
Bohemian Rugs
Boho decor expresses the fun and eclectic motifs of the free-spirited 1970s and has been a major trend for the last few years. Bohemian rugs can be made of textured, natural materials, like the jute rugs in our selection. Expect warm shades, brightly colored patterns and retro designs. The style includes shags and thick Beni Ourain carpets in neutral colors, like the Moroccan– and Persian-look rugs available on our site.
Minimalist Rugs
A simple rug can blend into a room’s design and create a soothing feel. Single-color rugs in simple tones — like grays and browns that blend in — work in a variety of interiors. Try the Pure Grey or the Monaco rugs for something soft and simple underfoot.
