Make a Statement with a Bold, Artistic Rug

Patterned rugs with neatly repeated, clever stripes, or graphic geometric patterns are just one part of the rich and varied rug story. You can also find rugs that can paint a picture, depict a scene, or simply make a huge splash with wild, no-holds-barred designs. These give you the opportunity to treat your floor like a wall – as a large area suitable for displaying images. Check out this roundup of the perfect rugs to help you take a stylish step.

Guess the riddle. Is the glass broken?the center of the flower?a map?This beautiful rug has an interesting pattern that will make you guess, but it brings a lot of sexiness, movement and interest to this floor.

Use color with confidence. A bold linear design like this owes much to the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, who created in the early 20th century and liked to combine white backgrounds, black lines, and three primary colors in his paintings. This rug is a more sophisticated version of this idea, creating a powerful patchwork effect underfoot.

Maintain symmetry. The abstract butterfly design moves between the patterns and images on this beautiful carpet, bringing a wonderful sense of symmetry to the space. The two chairs reflect this idea and seem to be mirror images of each other, while the pale walls are the perfect neutral match.

Select an icon. Placing Jimi Hendrix on the hallway floor may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but this rug shows how even a face can create a pleasing pattern when crafted in an abstract way with a limited color palette.

Explain the space. A children’s playroom or bedroom is the perfect place for a fun drawing design. Choose a carpet with their favorite creatures or activities that reflect their favorite activities to personalize their space and bring in color.

Go into the wild. The rug can be read as a witty take on the style of a hunting lodge, or it can be a half-joking reference to the imperial era fashion of laying the floor with the skins of cheetahs, tigers or leopards as proof of hunting ability. Of course, the leopard was simply woven into the carpet.

Define a space. This beautiful rug looks like a 20th-century abstract work of art and perfectly defines the dining area in this open space. When using rug under the dining table, it’s crucial to choose a rug that’s really wide so that you can see beyond the tabletop and that the hind legs of each chair remain on the rug when the chairs are pushed out.

Make a big deal out of it. Any simple, familiar pattern, such as a leaf or flower, will look more abstract and cause a greater buzz when zoomed in. The design of this huge head inflorescence and leaves is presented in only two colors and looks graphic and eye-catching.

Foot the art underfoot. The large picture woven into the carpet becomes a piece of floor art, and while this is eye-catching, it also has the potential to attract attention and ignore other details in the space. This living room shows how to avoid this. When the shade of your chosen rug matches the rest of the scheme perfectly, it becomes a harmonious detail without dominating.

Reinvent everyday life. Some common items in everyday life are ideal for use as rugs. For example, stamps are ideal rectangular shapes and have been designed to look clear, clean, and iconic. It makes it easy to make the leap from postal essentials to cool floor coverings.
