Area Rug Trends
Trend #1:
Warm, Cozy, & Comfortable
If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that your home should be a space where you feel the safest and most comfortable. Spending time indoors made many people realize that the scratchy, $50 rug they bought a few years ago doesn’t provide much comfort—physically or emotionally.
When your living room is functioning as a home office, school area, and playroom, your rug should help make the space as comfortable as possible. Why not have an area that both looks and feels good?
Trend #2:
Bold is Beautiful
Patterns, colors, and prints are in style now more than ever before. Self-expression and eye-catching conversation starters are becoming the norm, especially in more modern homes. Bold area rugs can tie a room together or act as a stand-alone piece to draw the eye to its beauty.
If you’re hesitant about putting animal prints, bright colors, and eccentric patterns in your home, there are a few ways to make them work. If you have “neutral” furniture – such as solid colors and classic designs – you can easily find a rug to complement your space. Even if you have unique furniture, you can find something that will express your personality!
Trend #3:
Very Vintage
Although the definition of “vintage” isn’t defined clearly, many people consider it to be synonymous to “antique;” something decades old that is considered valuable due to its age. You might not want a decades-old rug, but many classic designs are coming back in style.
You can get a brand-new rug that has the same look as a vintage rug, but still has the durability and softness of a modern rug. Classic styles give a nice touch to modern and old-fashioned homes alike, making them feel warm and “homey,” as though the rug has been lovingly passed down for generations.
