The modern or contemporary area rug can transform or update any space. Modern rugs vary greatly in colors and designs. The rugs can be made with monochromatic subtle hues or bold, bright colors. The designs are endless, with options that are simple to more complex with geometric patterns.

If you are looking to update your living space with a modern rug, start with the color. If your room is decorated using warm colors in the beige family, a rug with a pop of color is a great way to anchor the room and center the area you are trying to highlight. For example, a seating area that is mostly monochromatic and neutral is a great fit for a rug that contains a burst of color. This type of rug will brighten the space and draw the eye in.

Don’t be afraid to add color or bold patterns to your space. Feel free to add accent pieces that will compliment your new rug centerpiece. Adding throw pillows to a tired sofa is a great way to update the sofa and connect the seating area to the rug. When shopping for a rug, make sure you select a rug that is hand knotted. The hand knotted rug is made using ancient weaving practices that ensure its longevity and quality. These rugs will last for generations, becoming treasured family heirlooms.

Even a tired hallway or kitchen area can feel totally transformed with a modern rug. The sky is the limit with custom sizing and design options. For example, when deciding on a size for a living room area you can choose to add a rug that runs the length of the sofa and place the cocktail table in the center of the rug. You can also choose a larger sized rug that allows for all the furniture pieces to float within the rug boundaries.
