Stylish rug: how is it made? How do you choose the right one for a specific furnishing project?
Design — Luxury rugs — Mar 07.2025
A stylish rug plays a leading role in interior design: as well as being a functional furnishing element that improves the atmosphere and aesthetics of a space, it also defines its style.
Current trends in the world of interior design see stylish rugs at the forefront, both those with a contemporary design and models that revisit traditional textures and designs.
Stylish rug: what are the current trends?
We all know that the rug sector is very dynamic and to some extent follows the more general developments in the world of interior design.
Some advice? If you want to add a new designer rug to your home, bear in mind that geometric patterns are currently experiencing a major revival. To give an example, models with clean lines, abstract shapes and repetitive patterns are ideal in a modern context and if you are looking for a minimalist and sophisticated aesthetic.
Among the most popular furnishing solutions in terms of stylish rugs are also those inspired by contemporary art. These textile products are able to transform the floors and walls of the house into a sort of canvas on which creativity and originality explode. Particularly suitable if you need furnishing elements that act as focal points in a space, they are excellent solutions for adding depth and visual interest to your home.
In contemporary interior design, the search for sustainable and natural furnishings is almost a diktat. In recent years, sustainability has indeed become an essential priority and the choice of rugs is certainly no exception.
Any other ideas worth mentioning here? For a stylish rug, natural and resistant materials are preferable: in addition to the timeless wool, vegetable fibres such as jute and sisal are gaining ground. Long-lasting, with a refined look and low environmental impact, these materials also respond to the growing demand to integrate natural elements into interiors.
Finally, among the most interesting trends to be aware of in order to find the most stylish rugs that are right for your projects, there is also the rediscovery of decorative motifs and traditional manufacturing techniques. Persian, Oriental and Berber rugs continue to be appreciated after centuries for their beauty and their ability to adapt to many furnishing styles. Modern interior design reinterprets them in various ways: in some cases they are proposed in bold colours, in others they are presented with original patterns inspired by the classic ones. In other cases they are created with innovative materials.
What are the tips for decorating with a stylish rug?
Since they are objects that stand out and can become the centrepiece of a room’s decor, their placement should be carefully studied, so as to guarantee a certain stylistic coherence and a harmonious result.
In the living area of the house, fashionable rugs have the task of warming up the atmosphere and creating a coherent whole with the rest of the furnishings. In a living room or hall, you can opt for this type of textile to define the spaces and add comfort to the room. In a modern environment, on the other hand, you can go for a piece with geometric or abstract patterns.
In the sleeping area, on the other hand, designer rugs, especially if made to measure play an important role in creating an oasis of tranquillity. An example? A large rug placed under the bed or smaller pieces to be placed in front of the bedside tables can make the atmosphere warmer and more welcoming, improving comfort at the beginning and end of the day.
You can also use a stylish rug to transform the ‘minor’ areas of the house, such as corridors, entrances and outdoor areas. Rugs with distinctive patterns, rugs with unusual shapes and abstract patterns: these are all valid solutions to give personality to those corners of the house that risk being overlooked.
How can you enhance a room with one or more stylish rugs?
To make the most of each stylish rug, it is essential that each piece is well integrated into the context of the entire decor. The first rule to keep in mind is that the particular artefact should complement the surrounding furnishings and not compete with them.
Furthermore, attention must be paid to the choice of materials and the design of each rug. These aspects of the product, in fact, profoundly influence the atmosphere in the room and the identity of the home space.
It is also very important to define the optimal size and shape for each individual rug. The right combination ensures that the chosen model is not only functional, but also suitable for the room in which it is placed.
Finally, it is also necessary to choose the right colour palette for each specific stylish rug. From this point of view, in addition to taking into account the most trendy colours of the period, it is necessary to consider the meaning of each colour and select the designs that are the most in line with the desired characteristics for the particular artefact.
