Rugs hold so much power that a simple switch can have drastic changes in ambience and aura. If you’re looking to keep up with the trend and give your home a new feel, get in touch with the rug styles that have taken the year’s highlights. 

Modern Moroccan Styles

The minimalist culture has taken over various aspects of human life—including home interiors. Neutral hues and geometric patterns have been the trend for years now and Modern Moroccan rugs have found a snug fit within the trend. 

Beni Ourain rugs feature earth-toned colors matched with monochromatic designs and textures. Such style fits perfectly in houses that want a subtle take on luxury and comfort. 

Such rugs also have intimate stories behind their craftsmanship which adds value and life to the rug itself. Often made from strong materials such as wool, one can guarantee durability and sustainability with these rugs. 

Natural Fibers

Along with the wave of minimalist culture, people have leaned on natural materials to fill their homes with life. Rugs made of natural fibers offer earthy textures that give homes a simple yet rustic feel. 

Jute and seagrass rugs bag the top spots for natural fiber rugs. Jute rugs, often left in natural brown hues, are soft to touch contrary to their earthy texture. Rugs of this material are ideal for low- to medium-traffic areas. 

On the other hand, seagrass rugs are naturally water- and stain-resistant making it ideal for homes with children and pets. While it can be bought with a tinge of green, the rug fades to a brown hue over time. 

Flat Weaves

Flat weaves present a stark contrast to traditional rugs—as they are made without any knots at all.  Parallel running fibers that make up the length are run against the ones along the width, which constitutes the entire rug. 

More often than not, these rugs feature bold, geometric patterns and colors. In contrast to traditional rugs, these rugs are made of lightweight materials that make them easy to switch up every now and then. Not to mention, they’re more on the affordable end. 

Hand-Woven

As old and recurring this trend is, handmade rugs will always be a classic. The laborious task of making such fine rugs give them a premium which no other style can snatch. 

Homes graced with such rugs never go out of style due to the expert craftsmanship that each rug features. Both modern and antique hand-woven rugs have the ability to make a dull room look lavish and luxurious. 

Not to mention, these rugs are some of the most durable ones you can find on the market. The expense of purchasing one will be worth the investment for years to come as they never seem to go out of style. 

Rug Trends

Rug trends come and go, but some styles will always remain untouchable and irreplaceable. With these trends, freshen up your home with the current style and make necessary switches when the urge calls for it.
