How to Pair and Layer Rugs for A Cohesive Look
Let's chat about something that can be a bit of a puzzle in open-concept living spaces: mixing multiple rugs. Sure, open-concept areas are great for that spacious feel, but getting the decor right, especially when it comes to rugs, can be a head-scratcher.
In our journey of designing these airy spaces, we've stumbled upon some rug combos that just seem to click. And today, I'm excited to share these mix-and-match rug tricks with you. So, whether you're a rug rookie or a seasoned stylist, these tips are going to change the game for your floors.
Let's dive into a few of our top rug pairings and discover why they're such a hit:
01. Organic pattern Paired with Minimal pattern:
Imagine a rug that's got all these cool, abstract-inspired swirls and colors – that's your organic rug. Now, put it next to a rug that's more on the down-low, color-wise. The result? Your vibrant organic rug shines bright while its minimal partner supports it in quiet elegance.
02. Geometric and Organic Tango:
Ever seen a geometric print rug side by side with something more fluid, like a cowhide or a vintage rug? It's a visual treat! The sharp lines of a geometric rug alongside the free-flowing organic patterns create a delightful contrast that's just impossible to ignore.
“This is a handmade flat-weave rug that generates an incredible and well-rounded diffusion of color. The surface releases a sense of tranquillity and well-being that is balanced by the penetrating vibration of colors.”
03. Jute Meets Geometric:
This duo is like peanut butter and jelly! Jute rugs, with their earthy, laid-back vibe, are the peacekeepers in the rug world. Pair them with a geometric rug – think stripes or neat patterns – and voila, you’ve got a match made in design heaven. It's a mix of earthy charm and crisp patterns that somehow just feels right.
04. Geometric PATTERN with HEAVY texture:
Now, this is where things get really interesting. Picture a geometric rug – full of distinct lines and shapes – and place it next to a heavy textural rug, which is more about the texture and less about busy patterns. This pairing is like a dance between complexity and simplicity. The geometric rug brings a dynamic, eye-catching vibe, while the minimal rug acts as a calming force. It’s a stylish balance that can make any space feel more grounded yet lively at the same time.
Before we wrap up, here's a little pro tip: Always get samples of the rugs before fully committing to a combination. Rugs can look different in person than they do online, and you'll want to see how the textures, colors, and patterns play together in your actual space. Getting a sample first helps you avoid any surprises and ensures that you're absolutely in love with your rug combo.
If you're ready to give your space a fresh new look with some stunning rug pairings, why not start exploring your options? Don't forget, mixing rugs is an art, and it's all about finding the right balance for your space. Need a little help or have questions?
