Area Rugs

Pile It On: Modern Area Rugs

Style underfoot. Give your space an entirely new look with modern area rugs, including dhurrie, shag and jute styles. Traditionally used in India, dhurrie rugs are thick and flat-woven with wool and cotton, and feature intricate and colorful graphic patterns. For a luxurious feel, shag mats feature a deep, plush pile and a classic look. You can also bring nature indoors with jute styles that are handwoven from the natural fiber. Add an artful touch to your living room or bedroom floor with unique patterns and bold colors, such as a red or indigo area rug. Or, keep it neutral with solid prints and warm hues like cream and soft grey. Don't forget to consider texture; natural jute or animal hide rugs add visual interest, while fabric blends, such as cotton/linen, jute/hemp and wool/cotton make for durable rugs that look and feel luxurious. Finally, consider what shape rug is best for your space. A modern round rug stands out at the center of the room, while a traditional rectangular rug works well in front of a sofa or doorway.
