Browse the entire collection for yourself to discover the one that will make a chic focal point in your room.

Discovering a Stylish Rug for Every Space

An area rug is a decorating essential for any room with hard floors. They help ground a master bed, define a living room sitting area and make a formal dining room more inviting. Not only are they an opportunity to deliver color and pattern to a room, but they also provide an added layer of texture.

Classic Stripes

Perhaps the most timeless of all the rug patterns is the classic stripe. The stripes can vary from very thin to very wide in width, depending on how much of a statement you wish to make with your area rug. A very subtle, thin stripe can read more like a solid or a neutral while a wide stripe with bold contrast offers a more vibrant look.

Geometric Patterns

Creating a contemporary space is all about featuring an eye-catching geometric pattern. Circles, squares and hexagons are just a few of the simple shapes you'll see featured within this collection.

Abstract Motifs

Show off your love of all things artistic by selecting an abstract motif for your area rug. These non-definable designs are a versatile choice that works well in traditional and contemporary homes alike.

Traditional Bordered Designs

Nothing says traditional like an area rug with a border design. Curved flourishes and straight style lines combine in these pieces, making them the focal point of the space.

Choose a Color and Size

Once you know the style of rug you like, check on the available size and color options within those options to find the one that will elevate your space. Keep things timeless with a neutral tone, such as gray, ivory or beige. Make the rug a little more captivating by opting for a bolder hue, such as a welcoming yellow or rich navy. Before you make your final selection, measure the room carefully and determine which size makes the ideal fit. If you want to see what the rug will look like in place, consider taping out the dimensions of the rug on the floor with painter's tape. If you have an open-concept home, choose rugs in the same design or color family and use them to create consistency from one room to the next.
