Trending Styles in Rugs

Interior design trends have a tendency to come and go, just like those in any consumer-based industry. With several trends that could serve as inspiration for your upcoming redesign, 2023 is not expected to be any different. The rug industry is currently experiencing a number of trends in addition to wall painting and adding a touch of nostalgia to your decor. Let's examine the four main categories of rugs that are currently popular: patterned rugs, muted colors, antique stylings, and what we've dubbed "rugs upon rugs.". " .


Rugs made to look old.

It's a well-known saying that "what's new is old" and it certainly applies to trendy rugs. Videos showing inventive ways to repair worn-out or outdated rugs are frequently featured on social media platforms like TikTok and Reddit.

This exists because antique and vintage-inspired rugs are a popular style right now. The history and backstory of a rug may occasionally interest the new owner. In some instances, it's merely a matter of taste in décor. In either case, keep an eye out for this trend to continue throughout the rest of this year.

Neutral Colors and Soft hues

Neutral and subdued tones are more in demand than they were a few years ago across the board. Similar trends are being seen in the rug industry, where sales of rugs with softer, more subdued colors are surging.

The "less bold" comment, however, might appear in opposition to the following fashion development: animal patterns.

Pattern Recognition

In existence for centuries are rugs with patterns. There is no shortage of choices for those looking for something aesthetically appealing, from angular patterns to repeating medallions.

However, there are currently primarily two types of patterned rugs that are popular:.

• Prints of animals.

• Geometrical forms.


The latter is typical of both Turkish and Persian rugs, and both of those rug categories in our collection contain a variety of geometric patterns. .

Although you can come up with inventive ways to use the former in places like your children's bedrooms or a formal sitting area, they tend to be more machine-made in style. Although bold, they can also add a certain amount of style if used properly.

Multiple Rugs

And yet, this choice keeps coming up, believe it or not. Trendy rug designs include those that can be layered with other rugs. A contrasting option would be placed in the middle of your main rug, for instance, if it were a larger area rug (one that, for instance, covers your entire sitting area).

Visualize a small Turkish rug in lighter or more subdued tones sitting on top of a Persian rug in deep red. There are also options where a modern rug in a bold color is arranged crisscross with a plain rug in white or cream beneath it.
