Experimenting With Design With Modern Area Rugs

Have a little fun taking a design risk when you shop modern area rugs. These rugs are finely crafted and designed for a unique look in any room. The looks are drawn from what's popular in haute design and what creative takes make a splash in your own room. While these rugs definitely have their own style, they integrate beautifully into a variety of spaces. Place them in your bedroom, by your desk where you study, in a gaming room to hang out with friends or anywhere else that you could use color and texture. Available in a variety of sizes to accommodate almost any room, these modern area rugs are made for a well-curated space like yours.

How to Style a Room With Area Rugs

There are a few easy ways to include an area rug in your room. When browsing modern area rugs, keep in mind the dimensions of your room and a few key tips on how to style a rug.

  • Remember that your area rug is meant to have a little bit of space around the border of the rug. This lets the finished edge of the rug get the attention it deserves, while also framing it with the flooring underneath.
  • Lots of teens use rugs to define spaces, like a vanity area or a study alcove. If this is you, make sure your rug fits within the available floor space while still making room for bookshelves to rest on solid flooring.
  • By comparison, you might put a desk entirely on an area rug, while your bed could have the headboard over flooring and the foot of the bed over the rug.

Choosing Your Palette and Aesthetic

Explore all the different looks you can incorporate into your room when you decide to bring home modern area rugs.

  • Call out several of your favorite colors with patterned rugs or designs that inspire you, like a sunset-themed look.
  • Geometric rugs are beautiful and let you cover a large expanse of your room with an on-trend take on a classic rug look. Since rugs featuring diamonds, trellises, interlocking lines and more have been popular for so long, you can rest assured that a geometric rug is bold, but works almost anywhere.
  • Look to texture to tease out new depths to your decor. A shag or shearling rug feels amazing underfoot. Play with colors, like pink or silver-gray to make the look your own.

Knowing what you like and finding new styles to adore make shopping for modern area rugs an exciting way to upgrade your room.
